Hey Broward pool owners! ☀️ Thinking about making a splash with a new pool system? Or maybe you’re looking to switch things up? Here at Aqua Pools, we get asked all the time: «Saltwater or chlorine – which is better?» Don’t worry, we’re here to break it down for you, Sunshine State style!
Chlorine Pools: The Classic Choice
How they work: Traditional chlorine pools use chemical additives to sanitize the water, keeping it clean and safe for swimming.
Maintenance: Requires regular monitoring of chlorine, pH, and alkalinity levels. You’ll need to stock up on chlorine tablets or liquid chlorine.
Things to consider:
- Can sometimes cause skin and eye irritation.
- The smell of chlorine can be strong to some.
- Typically lower intitial cost than salt water pools.
In Broward county: due to the hot enviroment, and rain, you will need to keep a close eye on the pools chemical balance.
Saltwater Pools: A Smooth, Silky Swim
How they work: Saltwater pools use a generator to convert salt into chlorine, providing a gentler sanitation method.
Maintenance: Less reliance on added chemicals, making maintenance feel a bit easier. Monitoring the salt cell, and salt levels is still required.
Things to consider:
- The water feels softer and is less irritating to skin and eyes.
- Higher upfront cost for the saltwater generator.
- Salt can be corrosive to some pool equipment, so proper maintenance of that equipment is a must.
In Broward County: Salt water pools are increasing in popularity, because of the less harsh water conditions, in such a hot climate.
Whether you choose saltwater or chlorine, regular maintenance is key in our warm Florida climate.
