When it comes to maintenance, there is no need to treat your pool as often as a chlorinated pool. The saltwater produces all of the chlorine necessary to self-regulate.

A saltwater chlorination system can cost upwards of $1,300 dollars, plus the installation costs.

The materials that you can use for your pool and its accessories are limited since the saltwater can cause deterioration of a wide variety of materials that many heaters and underwater lighting are made out of. Many find that it is hard to have a saltwater pool with accessories as the saltwater causes corrosion and wear. Which makes it a little more difficult when it comes to resurfacing your pool.
A saltwater pool can be a great alternative to the typical chlorinated pool system. However, they do come with some disadvantages that you should think about before taking the plunge.
