Saltwater Pools Use Chlorine, But the Experience Feels Different
A salt system uses a chlorine generator to help maintain sanitizer levels. Many homeowners like the feel of the water and the convenience of fewer manual chlorine additions. The right setup requires proper sizing, water balance, equipment compatibility, and regular care.
Clear options, efficient systems, and a pool experience designed around the way you live.

FAQ About Saltwater Conversion Systems
Is a saltwater pool chlorine-free?
Nope. Saltwater pools still use chlorine. The difference is that a salt chlorine generator creates chlorine from salt in the water.
Can any pool be converted to saltwater?
Many pools can be converted, but their compatibility depends on equipment, plumbing, materials, surface conditions, and a homeowner’s maintenance goals.
Does a saltwater pool require maintenance?
Yes. Saltwater pools still need water balancing, salt level monitoring, cleaning, equipment care, and regular testing.
How long does a Legacy Pools project take?
