Salt Water Conversion FAQ for Tecate, CA
Is salt water better than chlorine for my Tecate pool?
It's the same chemistry (chlorine disinfection) — the salt cell just generates chlorine automatically from dissolved salt. Water feels softer, chlorine spikes are rare, and you stop hauling chlorine from the store.
How often does a salt cell need cleaning in Tecate?
Every 3 to 6 months depending on water hardness. Hard water (Tecate) cells need more frequent cleaning to keep output up.
Will salt water damage my pool equipment?
Modern pool equipment is salt-rated. Older metal fixtures (ladders, light rings, handrails) can corrode faster. We inspect and flag anything vulnerable before converting your Tecate pool.
