Question from Melissa

I am trying to reduce our usage of chemicals in and around the house. I have been making my own cleaners and laundry soap, but it bothers me that we still use chlorine in our above ground swimming pool. Does anyone have experience with salt water chlorinators?

Debra’s Answer

I don’t have first-hand experience with this, as we decided against using one. It’s still chlorine, but made from salt instead of pouring it in the pool from a bottle.

We have a chlorine-free pool that uses hydrogen peroxide to keep the water sparkling clear.

Readers, anyone have experience with salt-water chlorinators?
