Salt water closing kits?

[joelmilot]

Was checking out closing kits online and saw they had kits just for salt water, is there something special you need to add for them? This is are first year with salt water, worked out well for the most part. So what are they adding to these kits? Thanks

I'm going to go out on a limb with my comment and say .... marketing ploy!!!

I can't imagine anything *special* one would have to add to their pools at closing time for a salt water pool. I would love to be proven wrong, but this smells like fear-marketing to me...

I am with you. No idea what you need that would be different for closing an SWCG pool. Then again, I have no idea what you need a closing kit for anyway, never having used or needed one.

I've never used a "salt water kit" for closing. I use to buy a kit from my local pool store, and they had two choices; one for solid cover pools and one for mesh cover pools. The only difference between the kits was the mesh cover kit came with a bottle of phosphate remover (and of course was more expensive).

Now I just use bleach and 60% polyquat.
