Thanks,

I have been looking for a good reason to switch to salt ever since my neighbor did. With the solar heater we swim in our pool every month. We go a week or so during a cold snap when we don't swim in the winter but that would be about it. Cold snaps in Florida seem to end in 3 days or so.

When I was talking to my neighbor about it he said it was his main reason for going to salt because they also use their pool 12 months a year.

I had a pool guy until 2 months ago but he let it turn green 2 times this summer so I had to let him go and start doing it myself. In other words I'm still learning. I think the salt would make it easier on a rookie like me.


Thanks again for you help all..
