I spent all day in a salt pool this summer and never realized it had salt in it until the host mentioned it.

What a delightful experience. No nasty chlorine AND the salt was almost unnoticeable.

I always thought "yuck who would want to swim in a salt pool".... boy was I wrong.

Salt pools use a chlorine generator to produce chlorine. The level of chlorine is much lower but there is still chlorine. I get a chlorine rash just taking a shower.

Of course, it's just in one of those uber-giant "soup bowl" pools, but it does the trick. The kids enjoy it, and even the adults as well. It's very NON-chlorinated, but clean.

Ozone is used as an oxidizer in pool, it reduces the amount of chlorine used but does not eliminate it completely. I need to go chlorine free. There are several methods to accomplish that I just haven’t found anyone that has actually used one.

The only chlorine in the pool was whatever the was in the water used to fill it.

Of course that was a couple decades ago, so things may have changed.
