Can I Use Salt As Sanitizer Instead of Chlorine?

[PoolDoc]

BTG has a good idea: try it in your bathtub, first. Sit in it for an hour or so, see what it does to your bottom.

To say nothing of other parts -- it might put an end to all thoughts of 'kittenfish'.

Still, it would give him a chance to actually put some facts in his fantasy, and be a REAL investigator and pioneer. Maybe even, the last of his breed.

LOL!

You know, this thread started out fairly interesting on kind of a "what if" level, but a 10 second search on Google produces an immediate Aha! response. The Salton Sea, the Great Salt Lake, the Aral Sea, the Dead Sea, California's Pink Lakes – none are used for recreational purposes. The caption to one of the photos of the Pink Lakes says "The red coloration is caused by astronomical numbers of microscopic, unicellular organisms living in the water and salt crust. How they survive the blistering summer heat and concentrated brine is truly remarkable."

I'm sticking with chlorine.
