Convert Your Pool to a Premium Salt Water System

If you're still using chlorine tabs or liquid chlorine, you're overspending and dealing with inconsistent sanitizer levels.

A salt water conversion upgrades your pool to a modern chlorine-generating system that produces sanitizer automatically — giving you smoother water, lower chemical costs, and better long-term protection for your pool surface.

We install premium CircuPool systems with industry-leading warranties up to 8 years.

Why Convert to Salt Water?

1. Lower Long-Term Chemical Costs

Instead of buying chlorine tabs all season, you add salt once. Salt costs roughly 1/15th the cost per pound of chlorine, and the salt cell converts it into chlorine automatically.

Over time, this produces strong ROI — especially in Denver where pools run hard in peak summer months.

2. Silkier, Softer Water

Salt water pools feel smoother on your skin and eyes. Many homeowners describe the water as “silky.”

It’s still chlorine — just generated more consistently and in smaller doses.

3. More Stable Sanitizer Levels

Traditional chlorine dosing creates peaks and valleys in sanitizer levels between service visits. Salt systems generate chlorine daily, keeping levels more consistent and protecting plaster, tile, and equipment.

4. Adds Home Appeal & Perceived Value

Salt systems are viewed as a premium feature and are attractive to buyers if you sell your home.

Smart WiFi Control & Automation Options

We recommend CircuPool CORE Series systems with WiFi automation.

With the CORE Control platform you can:

  • Monitor chlorine production from your phone
  • Adjust output remotely
  • View system diagnostics
  • Expand to ORP & pH monitoring with automated dosing
  • Prepare for future pump, heater, light & cover integration

This brings modern automation to pools that previously relied on manual chemical dosing.

Upgrade with ORP & pH Monitoring (Optional)

For homeowners who want near hands-off chemistry control, we offer the Balance + Control upgrade kit:

  • ORP monitoring (sanitizer effectiveness measurement)
  • pH monitoring
  • Automated chemical dosing

This protects plaster longevity and helps avoid scaling or staining — critical in Denver’s mineral-heavy water.

Is Salt Water Right for Your Pool?

Salt systems are ideal for:

  • In-ground plaster pools
  • Homeowners spending heavily on chlorine tabs
  • Families sensitive to traditional chlorine
  • Homeowners wanting smart app control
  • Pools already receiving professional weekly maintenance

We will evaluate your pump, filter, plumbing layout, and electrical capacity to ensure proper installation.

Salt Water Conversion Cost in Denver

Conversion cost depends on:

  • Pool size (10k–40k gallons typical)
  • Electrical requirements
  • Automation add-ons
  • Existing equipment compatibility

Most Denver homeowners see payback within several seasons due to lower sanitizer costs and reduced manual chemical adjustments.

Pool Maintenance FAQs

No. A salt system generates chlorine from salt. It still sanitizes with chlorine, but in a more consistent and controlled way.

Most salt cells last 3–7 years depending on usage and water chemistry. CircuPool offers warranties up to 8 years on select systems.

When properly installed and maintained, salt systems are safe for modern pool equipment. We ensure correct bonding and installation practices.

A typical residential pool requires about 2,000–3,000 pounds of salt initially. After that, only small additions are needed annually.

Yes — and in many cases it helps maintain more stable sanitizer levels, which protects plaster when chemistry is properly managed.
