Salt water or chlorine pool filtration system
We want to build an inground pool, but we aren’t sure whether to go with a chlorine or salt water system. We have heard a lot of pros and cons regarding salt water systems, but wanted to know from someone who has their pool for several years to see if they had problems with corrosion of stone, pool parts, &/or patio furniture or other outdoor items made from aluminum or stainless steel. Also, does anyone know anything about the NOGSYS filtration systems?

I think that salt water pools are a great option. Ours never caused corrosion any faster than our traditional pool chemicals did. However, be aware that if the system breaks or you have to replace anything, it can get pricey. Also, don’t install it to save money because buying and adding salt is about the same price and buying and adding chemicals. It will be softer on your skin and hair, but it will definitely not save you money. In fact, after the initial installation and the cost of salt, I think that our traditional pool chemicals were cheaper per season.
We love our salt water pool and would never go back to chlorine. The salt makes chlorine but the water is SO much softer on your skin, easier on your eyes and clothes, and it’s so diluted there’s hardly ANY taste of salt on your lips (unless you put too much in of course). I’d definitely recommend salt. Every time we swim in non-salt pools anymore it just reminds us how glad we were to go with salt. Keep metal objects away from it, but other than that, enjoy!
here is two web pages with salt water info: http://www.swimming-pool-information.com/salt-pool-chlorine-generator-problems.html

I’d personally say chlorine.
The pool which I go to(and a lot of other people got to) uses chlorine.
Really, it’s quite popular.
And it keeps the pool from growing mold(whatever it is.)
CHLORINE FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there is some corrosion but can be handled with a sacrificial anode.no problems with stone or patio furniture.the salt system is more expensive then a chlorinator system but over time can make up the difference.if i had a pool with a salt system i would also have a chlorinator installed so i still have a way to put chlorine into the pool when the salt system breaks(and it will) the system must be sized to the pool(most will cover up to 40,000 gallons)and if the pool is bigger then you would need 2 or more.also keep in mind the more it costs the better the unit get a cheap one and it will cost to keep it running.i like the jandy system it is the only one on the market today that will give an actual salt reading(not a calculated reading) and that makes the care of the system much easier.
i would say salt water
Chlorie all the way!
Ever SWIM in a salt water pool? Ick! Plus-no fun.
Chlorine is fine, don’t let nutty pply scare you. : )
Anytime we can stay away from chlorine as a solid or liquid in handling or direct application is always the smartest choice in regards to our health.
Salt makes chlorine, but it’s not the same as pool tabs or liquid.
Salt systems work great, many benefits, just a different learning curve.
Here is a cool site that gives answers and incites to your question.

The end result is the same, you’re pool will have chlorine in it. The only difference is the manner in which it is introduced. Salt-water pools use salt to generate chlorine. With the typical chlorine pool, you put the chlorine in yourself. Either way you end up with chlorine in your pool.
