Salt Water Systems
Salt-water pools are NOT chlorine free pools. A salt-water pool is simply one that utilizes a chlorine generator. Chlorine generators have been around for decades. As technology and materials continue to evolve, chlorine generators continue to improve in performance.
Swimming in a mild saline solution is much like taking a shower in soft water. Generally, when people swim in a non-chlorine generator pool (a pool with no salt water in it) they feel like their skin dries quicker upon exiting the pool. They may feel and/or see a whitish residual, chlorine flaking, on the skin. In a salt-water pool (one with a chlorine generator) the water feels smooth, your skin feels smooth and many people feel more refreshed.

Installation
Usually, converting a standard chlorine pool to an IntelliChlor salt system requires minor plumbing and electrical modifications. The expert technicians at Georgia Pool Supply have been converting systems for more than 10 years and can generally get your new salt chlorinating system up & running in an afternoon and have you swimming the next day!
