    Default About Permasalt & other 'natural', 'holiistic', 'revolutionary' pool products . . .

    Just a bit of an update . . .

    You should set your BS detector to ALARM any time encounter a description like this "uses a natural synergy for a holistic approach to water maintenance". I've seen this sort of phrasing many times over my 25+ years in the pool industry, and that sort of phrasing always seems to be describe products that are very good for the people selling them, and very bad for the people buying them.

    So . . . when you see this quote "The Perma Salt Pool Sanitation System uses a natural holistic approach to water maintenance and clarity, which is different than most methods of water sanitation.", your BS detector should immediately enter its ALARM state.

    Actually, ANY of these words should lead put your BS detector into a WARNING state:
    • holistic
    • mineral
    • synergy
    • completely new
    • natural (unless it's describing pools like these => http://pool9.net/npool/
    • nature's way or nature's method (again, unless used with respect to 'npools')
    • revolutionary
    • completely new
    • unprecedented
    • chlorine-free

    The Permasalt system literature doesn't use all these, but it uses many of them.

    In fact, it is apparently just a run-of-the-mill copper system using a little chlorine and monopersulfate to keep the water from becoming totally septic, and some salt to make the pool FEEL like a salt pool.

    It appears that somebody associated with the Permasalt system has been getting people (hired shills maybe?) to post positive but bogus reviews on various pool forums. So, before you trust such a review, check to see that the poster is in good standing on that forum, AND that they posted something besides the PermaSalt review. In my experience here, posters who register and ONLY post positive reviews about some product are never legitimate.

    Also you don't have to have an SWCG (salt water chlorine generator) to add salt to your pool. Just keep in mind that salt increases corrosion no matter why you put it into the pool.
