Tme to Change to salt..

[RobbieH]

If you get white stuff, get your TA adjusted correctly (that was my first problem) then add borates to stabilize. Simple!

I feel the need to add one point on the swg systems that is not really emphasized quite enough...
It really simplifies the chemistry aspect since you dont have the fluctuations that you do get when chlorinating manually.
In a straight cost analysis it might come to the same but I figure that the time not spent on fussing with pool chemistry has got to be worth something.

In fact if you start with good chemistry and once you have the right amount of stabilizer the chemical interventions are simply not required.
I often go weeks without testing. But hey maybe Im lucky. Only need to check if i can count the drain cover screws.
Other pro is the nicer softer feeling of salt water.
Of course not dealing with Chlorine is a big plus as well.
