The pro end of having a main drain is that you spend less time vacuuming the pool. By turning on the main drain only this will help clean the bottom of the pool and results in less overall maintenance time. Also helps clean up any chemical (chlorine, alkaline, shock, etc)that may not have completely dissolved when added to the pool. Also, when winterizing the pool, by having the main drain, you can lower the water level in the pool and still run a recirculating pattern on the filter without destrying the motor. same for opening the pool, can run the pool on main drain cleaning up the winter debris before the pool is completely full.
Pools are good because when it is summer time you can use a pool to cool off in! Pools take a lot of time to maintain and there are also financial considerations. The pros outweigh the cons in my particular situation.
Good and Bad of Saltwater Pools! Good - Water is "softer" with less chemical smell! Bad - Bacteria lives much longer because the "chlorine" generated is weaker than chlorine itself. System is very weather dependent and can't handle high bather loads. UV systems like the HalcyonRx.com provide a greater range of bacteria and algae destruction and provide a drastic reduction in chemical exposure. Jon Laliberte Haclyon Technologies, LLC
Salt water feels better to swim in especially if the salt is made up of magnesium chloride and potassium chloride which is a new approach however the same applies to the pools that use the traditional sodium chloride. If they are setup properly there is no need to handle and or store chlorine as the system produces it automatically. Modern salt water systems are far easier to take care of.
The pros are that a child learning how to swim and infants can float easier. Cons:infants and people with heart problems may get sick if salt is swallowed😄 Literally a 7 year old answered this at 7:39 PM, Sunday May 20, 2012
