When it comes to selecting a pool for your backyard oasis, one of the first decisions you’ll face is whether to go for a saltwater or chlorine system. At Top Notch Pools, we’re here to help you navigate this choice, ensuring you make the best decision for your lifestyle and budget.

Saltwater Pools

Saltwater pools have gained popularity for their ease of maintenance and the gentle, natural feel of the water. Unlike ocean water, the salt concentration in these pools is much lower, avoiding that sticky, “gross” feeling after a swim. While the initial setup cost for a saltwater system might be higher, the long-term savings are significant. Salt is less expensive than chlorine, and the system’s efficiency in converting salt into chlorine reduces overall chemical costs.

How Saltwater Systems Work

The science behind saltwater pools is fascinating. A salt chlorinator system transforms salt into chlorine, effectively sanitizing your pool without the need for direct chlorine addition. This process, controlled by a sophisticated computer system, ensures your pool remains clean and safe with minimal effort.

Chlorine Pools

For some, the traditional chlorine pool remains the preferred choice. Its familiar scent and feel bring back memories of summer days spent in the water. Chlorine pools are known for their reliability and have been the standard in pool sanitation for years.
