The initial set up for salt water swimming pools will be more expensive than the traditional chlorine set up. This is usually an important factor for those looking to install swimming pools on a budget. However, over time, a traditional chlorine system will cost you more because you have to keep adding chlorine. Chlorine naturally breaks down so it has to be constantly replenished.
The initial cost of salt is much more expensive then chlorine but the major difference though is the fact that salt rarely has to be replaced. Properly built salt water swimming pools minimize salt loss from splash outs or leaks. In most cases you will only have to replenish the water that has been lost through evaporation. Evaporation leaves the salt behind so in this sense it will last a long, long time. Some erroneous reports have stated the owners of salt water swimming pools have to replace about 400 lbs of salt each year. This would only be true if your average owners is splashing out or losing about 16,000 gallons of water each year and this just doesn’t happen.
