      I'm looking into a salt water pool, as I've been told it's better but have no idea why

            I do not know about the filters and stuff but I am building things out of styrofoam blocks and pouring in concrete its amazingly cheap to build...keep in mind this is isolated from both sides, and you just call a truck to pour in the concrete...my indoor pool will be around 1000$ to pour and maybe another 500$ for some impregnated concrete finish...you stack the molds as lego bricks....3 of them is 1m2...

                I have a salt water pool, it's great. All computer controlled, I literally do not have to do a single thing other then rinse the sand filter once a week and clean out the skimmers of mice that drowned.

                  So when stuff like that happens how do you sanitize the pool? Stuff like dead mice

                  Since you're not using chlorine tablets etc?

                      salt water is cleaning all the time...

                      although, the best for pools is baquacil, chlorine free, it makes for the best in pool sanitizing, however, it´s dearer than chlorine, but worth it...

                      no taste, no bleaching, just clean fresh swimming water

                        Besides the fact that the salt kills bacteria etc but basically you dump a bunch of salt tablets in, I don't remember how much because my pool guy does it - probably around 100kg - and when the water goes through the filters/whole system there is this system in there that converts the salt to chlorine *as needed* and another thing that pumps in this shit to keep the pH correct.

                        Don't do the cheap fiberglass inserts, after about 3-4 years they look like shit. The blue color fades and they start having little microcracks. My friend did his pool at around 1/4th the cost of mine and it looks like shit, the water is nasty and he has to balance the chems all the time.

                        Mine all said and done was around 45k euro or so with all the ground work, the concrete foundation under the pool, the sliding aluminum pool cover, the tiles around the pool, the pumps, computer, endless pool pump thing, labour etc.

                            Guys from Donbass made a pool in the cellar of a village house for less than $3 USD (215 rubles) in the cellar of a village house which includes a water price and a price for natural gas to heat it up in January.



                            and now with an electric bath...

                              The salt water pool cell generates chlorine from the salt...you don't add chlorine tables because that's why you have the salt for. You can still use pool shock just like you would if you used chlorine tablets.
