There was this statement about this article which was part of a post published on another blog that doesn’t allow unregistered users to comment on their site.

ummm guess what…. 100 pounds of salt weighs just as much as 100 pounds of chlorine… you will be carrying plenty of salt to your pool… so that won’t fly.

My point in my article was that chlorine requires much more careful handling and storage than does salt. It’s more difficult to carry around and store “heavy and dangerous” than “heavy and harmless”.

Of course, even with the Compu-Pool Salt Water Chlorinator Kit you will still need to perform normal pool maintenance and testing. You will just have a less mucking about with large quantities of volatile chemicals like chlorine. The main thing that you will get out of a salt water pool is a more enjoyable swim.
