Hey, everyone. We're so pumped about finally getting this blog up and running. Please do stop in and comment, yell or inquire. We're after the very latest in safe, healthy, inexpensive, viable and green pools, spas and hot tubs. We're going to try and fill your cup full here, so check back often. This is our first entry, so I'm going to try to make this short and sweet.
Salt Systems
We get a lot of people who are looking at "salt" as an alternative to chlorine. This, unfortunately, is a bit of a trick played on the public by unseemly pool guys. Salt is chlorine! It's been touted as the green alternative, but the fact is that salt systems produce hypochlorous acid...which is chlorine. If you dig a little bit, you'll also find that salt systems simply convert NaCl to chlorine. The systems run anywhere from $1200 to more than $3000 per....plus salt, conditioners, algicides, etc. For those of you who've already switched, don't take it so hard. You're in about $2000, but you can still find ancillary systems that will help reduce the amount of chlorine you're using. And, of course, we'd highly recommend our own.
