The Natural Choice for Modern Swimming

Salt water pools use advanced technology to create chlorine naturally from salt, providing continuous sanitation without the need for harsh chemical additives. This innovative approach means no more red eyes, itchy skin, or strong chlorine odors—just crystal clear, silky-smooth water that feels better on your skin and is gentler on your swimwear and pool equipment.

What Are Salt Water Pools?

Salt water pools utilize a salt chlorine generator that converts dissolved salt into pure, natural chlorine through a process called electrolysis. Unlike traditional pools that require frequent manual addition of chlorine tablets or liquids, salt systems maintain consistent, optimal chlorine levels automatically.

The result is water that's continuously sanitized at safe, stable levels—typically with salt concentrations similar to human tears—creating a swimming experience that's both luxurious and low-maintenance.

Benefits of Salt Water Pools

Gentler Swimming Experience

Enjoy water that's softer on skin, hair, and eyes—perfect for families with children, sensitive skin, or those who swim frequently.

Reduced Maintenance

Automated chlorine generation means fewer chemical adjustments and less time spent on pool care.

Cost-Effective Operation

While the initial setup may cost more, salt systems dramatically reduce ongoing chemical expenses.

Environmentally Conscious

Less chemical use and packaging waste make these systems an eco-friendly choice.

Softer Water Feel

The dissolved salt gives the water a smooth, luxurious texture.

Salt vs. Traditional Chlorine Pools

Category Salt Water Pool Traditional Chlorine Pool
Sanitization Method Generates chlorine from salt automatically Requires manual chemical addition
Water Feel Softer, silkier, gentle on skin and eyes Can feel harsh or drying
Maintenance Lower; self-regulating system Higher; frequent adjustments
Upfront Cost Slightly higher (salt cell & controller) Lower
Long-Term Cost Lower chemical expenses Ongoing chlorine purchases
Eco Impact Less chemical waste, gentler on environment Higher chemical and packaging use
Comfort Level Luxurious, spa-like feel Traditional chlorine experience

Salt water pools still use chlorine—just generated naturally and steadily.

Chemistry Guidelines for Ontario Pools

Parameter Ideal Range Purpose
Salt 3,000–3,500 ppm Enables proper chlorine production
Free Chlorine 1–3 ppm Keeps water clear and sanitized
pH 7.4–7.6 Comfort and equipment protection
Alkalinity 70–110 ppm Stabilizes pH
Calcium Hardness 200–400 ppm Prevents corrosion or scaling
Cyanuric Acid (CYA) 30–50 ppm Protects chlorine from sunlight

Our team ensures your system is perfectly balanced for Ontario's seasonal climate.

Cost of Salt Water Pool Systems

The investment in a salt system typically adds $1,500–$3,000 to a new pool project, depending on size and features.

While the initial cost is higher than traditional chlorine, most homeowners recover it within 2–3 years through reduced chemical purchases and minimal upkeep. The long-term operating costs remain lower, making it a smart and sustainable choice for frequent swimmers.

Maintenance & Care

Salt water pools are easy to maintain with a simple seasonal routine:

  1. Weekly: Check salt and chlorine output levels.
  2. Monthly: Clean the salt cell and inspect for scale buildup.
  3. Seasonally: Have the system professionally serviced and water balanced.
  4. Annually: Schedule a full inspection; most cells last 5–7 years.

We provide comprehensive maintenance guidance and seasonal care instructions to keep your salt system operating at peak performance.
