I am on a board for a HOA and have used salt water pools a few times and liked them and have heard nothing bad about them.
I have a few questions that I hope you can help me with. I have read things on the internet and on this forum, but I find 99.9% of the information I find is geared more toward the individual home pool and not a community pool.
Initial cost for conversion to saltwater pool for us has been estimated at $8k.
Pool is a 50k gallon pool and gets light usage during the day and moderate-heavy useage in the evenings (but nothing like a public pool gets)
Community is aprox. 600 homes.
Pool was built in 2003 and we have had multiple problems with cracks and leaks in pump room where the chemicals are stored. We also periodically get green color to pool even though we have pool company that visits twice a week during use season.
Pool area is all concrete
What I am looking for is if anyone has some good pros and cons for installation of Salt water pool for the community pool.
Thanks for any advice you can provide.
