Anyone converted your existing pool to saltwater system?

I couldn't handle the salt taste

That's not what she said.

I have been shopping around for houses and just about everyone that has a pool, has the saltwater system.

Here are other chlorine alternatives:

Before you jump in, make sure to kill off the snake. It looks like it could do some major damage.

Really? I own a pool, know a lot of other people that own them, and I don't know anyone that has a saltwater system.

Fwiw, the Chlorine hasn't cost me that much. No more than $150 a year just for chlorine (buying the big bucket's at Lowes). As long as I keep the water stablized, it doesn't use that much chlorine. Of course, that could also be because we didn't have much rain over the last couple of summers. Rain throws the balance way off.

As long as the pool is kept clean, and the filters are operational, chlorine usage shouldn't be that great on an average sized pool.

I really don't understand why anyone up here would have a pool. You can use it, what, 4 months out of the year?

That sounds worth it to me.......why would someone by a ski boat, or pontoon boat, etc?

If I were in the house that I plan on staying in, I would definitely put a pool in but because I will probably sell in a few years I don't want to limit my potential buyers.

Yeah but the rest of the time you have an ugly ass covered pool in your yard.

You can use a temperature-controlled pool for much longer than that
