The biggest problem with residential chlorinated pools are the amateur homeowners without a clue operating them, shocking a pool over and over without doing a simple back wash is an incredibly common and dangerous problem.

Salt water pools are maintenance misers compared to their chemical counter parts not to mention you can extend the life of a vinyl pool liner by about ten years compared to a chlorinated set up so the "are they cheaper?" argument is moot.

The by far biggest advantage of salt water pools is the simplicity and the impossibility to screw it up and hurt people with chemical burns and letting kids swim in unbalanced water...chlorine filled unbalance chemicals, water for that matter.

ya, no, chlorine sucks and is totally unnecessary.
