If you already have a pool or are thinking of purchasing a pool you may ask yourself if you should go for a salt water pool or a chlorine pool. Which one is better? Should you get a salt water generator for your swimming pool? First of all, you must know that the salt water pool is a chlorine pool. The generator will turn the salt into chlorine in order to keep the pool clean. The chlorine levels are lower which is better for your skin. If you like salt water this can be a good transition. Many people do not know how to make the change to a salt water pool. There are some pros and cons for turning your pool into a salt water pool. First you need to decide what type of pool you want in your home. You can select from a fiberglass pool, concrete, or a pool with a vinyl liner.
