Chlorine Treated vs. Salt Pools

[x635 4,066]

I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with traditional chlorine treated pools vs. salt treated pools?

Also, are the UV and Ozone filters just a gimmick?

(I know there are 10,000 sites about this topic, but I'd rather here it from fellow members of my community here)

I've run our salt treated 28ft above ground pool for 3 years now and cannot say how much we truly love it!. Once your initial set up at the beginning of the year is done, it really requires almost no maintenance. I take water samples to our pool store and they run it, tell me what I need (all for free) and then I add what's needed. About once a month I'll take another sample and at most I need some more salt (due to rain/spash-out) and some stabilizer and we are good to go!

Also, FWIW, I've never had burning eyes after swimming in my pool.... Added bonus!
