I installed a salt water chlorinator and now have no chlorine in my pool.

My youngest son goes swimming five times a week and am always worried about the chlorine in the water and what damage it is doing to his lungs, being an asthma sufferer myself.....I was convinced that the salt water version is better than the normal chlorine version.......Now I see the word chlorine after the salt water...I think I will have to do more research.

The salts natural chlorine is extracted as the machine processes the salt. All quite natural.

I read that you have to add a stabiliser to salt water Pools which would suggest that chlorine still escapes into the air so I don't know what natural means in that case. As I said...I will have to research it. I must admit though...When I swam in a salt water pool in SA I smelled no chlorine at all but the water felt a little greasy.

Anyway...The point of this thread was about saving fresh water by using sea water and it seems that this is not possible unless you have one of those tidal pools.
