Comments From Our Pros

Answer: In some cases
Explanation: Converting a chlorine pool to a saltwater pool can be beneficial, as it often results in softer water, lower chemical costs, and reduced maintenance. Saltwater systems generate chlorine continuously, which can lead to more stable sanitizer levels. However, the initial setup costs can be higher, and regular maintenance of the salt cell is necessary. If you're looking for a more convenient and potentially gentler swimming experience, a conversion could be worthwhile. Consider your specific needs and consult a pool professional before deciding.
