What is better, a salt pool or one that uses chlorine?

i am not sure but every pools i've visited use chlorine and people say it kills bacteria

Absolutely!  First off, chlorine does evaporate into the air.  So long longer it sits, the less chlorine it has.  Unfortunately that also means the longer it sits, you should boil it before drinking.  At the pool that I worked at, we did a test on the water and the tap water.  Oddly enough, our county water contained a much higher PH level (more alkaline) than the pool which is around 7.6ph.

better to gargle with salt water.

I doubt you'd find a public pool without chlorine, even in private pools it an essential additive for the water, wear goggles that fit well, and dont swallow the water, shower very very well afterwards, if thats no good, then you'll just have to wait for sumemr and swim in the sea...

couple of choises. pool heater or a pool heat pump. or even a solar heater. try this link and see if any would work for you.\n\nhttp://www.swimmingpoolsetc.com/poolheaters.htm\nhttp://www.swimmingpoolsetc.com/pool-heat-pumps.htm\nhttp://www.swimmingpoolsetc.com/solar-heater-ig-pools.htm\nhttp://www.swimmingpoolsetc.com/solar-heater-ag-pools.htm

If "salt" is Sodium Chloride, then you will be making Hydrogen gas (H2) and (Oxygen gas (O2) and/or Chlorine gas (Cl2)).\n\nUnless you plan on very carefully controlling the potential difference across your electrolytic cell to use just the bare minimum voltage, you are likely to make Chlorine gas at the anode instead of Oxygen.\nOxygen gas has a reduction potential of 1.23 volts, where are Chlorine gas has a reduction potential of 1.36 volts.\nThis means that if you supply just a tiny bit of extra voltage across the cell, instead of just producing Oxygen gas from the water, you will be oxidizing the Chloride ions in solution to make Chlorine gas.

Uh, there is the Dead Sea. But I think it is drying up.\nYou can try Salt Lake, in Utah US.\n\nThese are saltwater lakes with high concentrations of salt.

It depends.\nThe salt has to dissolve in water.\nThe more ions / cm3 in te water (never mind the kind),\nthe better the electric conductivity.

One advantage is the concept of chlorine residual.  When chlorine is added to the water at the treatment plant, it stays in the water until the very last house on the line.  As you can imagine, there are a lot of potential water contaminants that could occur in the pipes between the plant and the last house on the line.  Since there is a chlorine residual - or chlorine still in the water - those potential contaminants are taken care of.\nOzone only treats the water at the plant and there is no residual to clean any potential contamination.  Also, ozone can only be mixed on-site, whereas chlorine is easily transportable.

Girl Chemists are soO SexY!  We need more of them. =)\n\nThe level of active chlorine is called the free chlorine residual and should measure 1.5 - 3.0 ppm, regardless of size or volume of the pool.  How to achieve the correct ppm depends on the chlorine product you choose to use.  Once you pick your pool chlorinating product it should have a detailed instruction to make the correct concentration of pool water.  There are kits with paper indicators that you can dip into your pool water after you add Chlorine solution or tablets to see if you have the correct amount of chlorine dissolved in the water.  If you still need help, you know where to come back and ask.

The salt gets dissolved in the water.

It's not about which is finer, it's about chemistry and attraction between molecules, I would say salt dissolves better

Swimming in WARM salt water is beneficial. Most of the time that means a warm water salt pool rather than the ocean.

Both are capable of performing well in salt water as long as there is a good flush after boating with fresh water. I live in Fort Walton Beach, Fl. , and you see alot of both.

Shock the pool. This means doing the chlorine clean-up. Also, during the daytime, check the skimmer buckets and toss out the frogs. A pool net is useful in getting the swimmers. I have had two pools, so I know from experience. Hope this helps!\n\n.:Lark:.

Check out poolgearplus.com they have some pretty neat stuff there.  I just clean mine with the pump vacuum.

Well you could try to do the firefighter thing but it may just be easier to get a long hose and find someway to attach it to the edge of the pool and let it fill up on it's own then add the chemicals and chlorine and all of that stuff let it sit for a day or two and you have a pool full of water to play Marko-Polo
