Common Reasons For Salt Water Swimming Pool Maintenance

Although salt water pools need less attention when it comes to cleaning there are a few things you need to be wary of.

"Runaway Chlorine"
This happens when the water isn't tested or balanced properly. In this type of environment the Chlorine created by the salt can actually dissolve the heat exchanger in your heater. Testing is very important for this reason.

Calcium Build Up
Salt attracts calcium, especially in plaster pools. Because of this you might find scaling on the surface of the water.

Rain
If you live in an area with a modest amount of rainfall, then you might have to increase the amount of salt in your pool. This is because rain water will drive the levels of salt way down.
