Salt water, i'm going salt water. Pay the fuck attention will ya
Just a general comment on salt water pools...they are still chlorinated. The difference is instead of dumping in liquid chlorine, or using tablets in a floating device or in line chlorinator, a salt water system uses an electrolysis process to generate chlorine from salt. This creates a lower level of chlorination from a ppm perspective vs traditionally treated pools, and has some drawbacks and advantages.

I know way more about pool maintenance than I want to at this point, but feel free to hit me up for any pool maintenance tips.

PS - Bromine > chlorine for hot tub applications

All I can add is that swimming in Salt water pools feels much nicer on your skin than swimming in standard chlorine pools.
