New to the Forum. I have owned a pool for about 9 years, and until recently it was salt water. In early May, I drained the pool and decided not to bring it back up as salt water. I disconnected the SWG and have been using straight chlorine. So far, so good. My blond girl's hair has not turned green and I have not heard any complaints. Balancing the PH has been much easier and I think that is allowing me to keep the chlorine levels good/low.

I am not sure yet on the long term cost differential on SWG vs Chlorine. As much as the family has enjoyed the salt water buying the cells every few years has been expensive.

My Pool:

14,000 gallon Pebbletech
Depth is 3-5-3
1 HP Pentair Whisperflo Pump
Pop up heads

I live in the Arizona desert, and the pool is surrounded by desert trees that drop debris year round (Mesquite, palo verde, acacia, sissoo)


Any advice or opinions are welcome.
