Salt Water Pools

Salt water pools have all of the benefits of traditional pools without any of the drawbacks. Salt water is safe to swim in, which means you don’t need chlorine or bromine to keep it clean. Your skin won’t dry out like with traditional pools because salt water contains natural minerals that act as a moisturizer. And finally, you’ll save on maintenance costs that come from using chlorine or bromine because salt doesn’t corrode your pool equipment as other chemicals can. Switching over has never been easier.
