Pinch of Salt
The great pool water debate; traditional chlorine system or salt system? Water & Pool Solutions will let you decide what is best for you and your family but we are here to lay out the benefits of investing in a salt system.
With salt chlorination, sanitizing your pool happens automatically by converting ordinary, dissolved salt into chlorine while you sit back and relax.
Did you know that over half of newly designed pools have a salt chlorination system and many traditional chlorine pools are being converted to salt? So why are so many people choosing salt as the way to go for their pools and spas?
- Salt chlorination offers a clean, natural and convenient, sanitized pool without the harsh chemicals used by a traditional chlorine system.
- Salt water pools are easier to maintain and they produce clean, clear and silky-smooth water.
- Converting a traditional chlorine system pool is relatively easy as no pool draining is required.
- Skin and eye irritation is reduced with salt water pools.
- Salt cells convert salt into active chlorine for a lower cost as compared to traditional liquid or solid chlorine. You will cut your chlorine costs by 50% or more after converting to a salt system.
Water & Pool Solutions recommends Hayward’s salt chlorination systems as their salt cells are capable of delivering 25% longer life than other brands. Hayward salt chlorinator systems work by doing the following:
- Add the proper amount of salt to your pool water where it dissolves.
- Salt water enters the TurboCell chlorine generator.
- Power is applied to the TurboCell to convert the dissolved salt into chlorine gas.
- Water with fresh pure chlorine is returned to the pool for complete sanitization.

Everyone knows that when water freezes, it expands. Unfortunately, this phenomenon can damage your pool. The cold temperatures in Alabama can damage your pool and pool equipment unless you winterize or close it during the off-season. Pumps, filters, heaters, and pipes are particularly vulnerable to freeze damage.
Are you sad to see summer come to an end? We understand. After all, what could be better than lounging in the pool with a drink in your hand? Even though you will have to close your pool, winters in Alabama do not have to be boring! Keep in mind that you also have a hot tub. The winter months are ideal for relaxing in the hot tub’s steaming water. But, before we get to the fun part, there is some cleaning to do. You must open your hot tub for the spa season for it to function correctly.
If you have invested in a hot tub, you will do everything to enhance its durability. The good thing is that keeping your hot tub in good shape is pretty simple. All you have to do is invest a smidge of your time for the optimum functioning of your hot tub. That said, no matter how protected your hot tub is, it might run into a few issues, just like any other appliance.
