Salt in non-SWG pool result observations

[matt4x4]

Well, I added 200 lbs of salt to our pool last week while on vaca, I just love it!
The kid had fun playing with the pellets for the afternoon.
Is it just me or does it seem to become a lower maintenance pool once you add salt? From my experience so far, it looks as though the bugs and stuff that sink are not decomposing as quickly, and there is absolutely no sign of dirt in my pool since adding the salt, the water has been sparkling clear, it seems to me I'm adding less chlorine too.....
And it's been hotter that he11 around here too!!!!

I also took the salt plunge a few weeks ago and have to say I like it alot. I added 160 lbs of Morton water softener salt and it definately gives the water a "softer" feel. Maybe I'm more sensitive to the taste of salt, but I can definately taste it, even though the taste is not unpleasant. I have very dry skin and usually run for the lotion as soon as I get out of the pool, but now I have to say I don't have too any more. Maybe next season I will get to add a SWG and put this salt to work, but for now I will just enjoy my salt water pool!!
