Saltwater pools are like the cool new kid on the block, but don't be fooled! They're less harsh on your skin and hair, but they can be pricier to set up. Plus, you gotta deal with salt residue everywhere. Chlorine pools are old school but reliable. It's like choosing between a trendy cafe and a classic diner – both have their perks! 🥤🏊♀️

if you’re looking for a more “natural” feel and don’t mind the higher upfront cost, saltwater might be the way to go. But if you prefer something simpler and cheaper to start with, traditional chlorine pools are still a solid option. 🏊♂️✨

Great question! 🤔 Saltwater pools are often praised for being gentler on the skin and eyes, and they typically have lower maintenance costs. However, they can be more expensive to install initially. Chlorine pools are usually more affordable upfront and are well-established for effective sanitization, but they might be harsher on your skin and eyes.
