Kicking around the idea of changing chlorine system to saltwater. After some online research I have several questions that I'm hoping can be answered here by people who have made the change.
1. Is it true that pool equipment, liner, deck, chairs, etc will need replaced more often due to corrosion from salt?
2. How frequently does the cell need cleaned and replaced?
3. I read online that the water when backwashing or draining will kill grass. Our drain pipe runs out our back fence and down a hill that turns into school property for their playground. I don't want to be the guy that kills the playground grass by backwashing pool! The chlorine water hasn't had any effect on it previously.
4. Should the generator be installed so that it is the last process before water returns to the pool? I read it should be placed after pump, filter and heater so that the highly concentrated water is being diluted before hitting those pieces of equipment.
5. Is it really worth the expense and does it save time maintaining pool by switching?
Any comments or suggestions welcome.
Thanks!
