Can't decide between a saltwater or chlorine pool? Weigh the pros and cons to find the right choice for your home, budget, and lifestyle.

Across the country, more chlorine pools are being converted to salt water and today there are more than 1.4 million saltwater pools in operation nationwide.

Here, Brian Morris, owner of We Fix Ugly Pools, dispels three common myths about salt water pool systems. Myth #1: With a salt system, you no longer have chemicals in your pool.

Saltwater systems use fine pool-grade salt, which is added directly to the water and replenished annually. For an average 15,000- to 20,000-gallon backyard pool, that salt costs less than $10.

A traditional swimming pool that is 14 feet by 28 feet costs about $20,000. A saltwater pool costs about $1,000 more for the additional equipment that's needed for the salt conversion.
