We put in a saltwater pool last August. Its the system to go with. It is NOTHING like a chlorine pool. I put about 2 bags of salt a month in it. Salt is about 7 bucks for a 50lb bag. We have the Polaris cleaner that keeps the water stirred up, and it has a bag on it that picks up leaves and trash. I have a 10 and a 11 year old that stay in it with their friends.
