traditional salt chemical system or go with the Mineral Springs salt system?

We just installed a new pool with a salt generator and quarts finish. I looking for low maintenance salt water system. Any suggestions would help. Thanks in advance.

Salt Water Chorine Generation is fine. I'd run fast away from anything "mineral", "ion", "ozone", "UV", "Eco", or "Low Chlorine".

Thank you!!!!!

If you buy a Hayward / Goldline salt unit, follow the directions here, and add borates to the water . . . you WILL have a "Mineral Springs" system at about 1/3 the cost.

Hayward puts labels on the Mineral Springs hardware for Bioguard. The chemicals used are just pre-blended (so if you have too much of one, you're stuck) and over-priced salt + borax + acid + stabilizer, in different packages and ratios.

Thanks PoolDoc, I had no idea that Mineral Springs was a luxury marque. It sounds like a collection of metal salts, at least to me.

Yeah. They try hint at the idea that it's a 'natural' 'non-chlorine' system without actually making illegal claims to that effect.
