It doesn't crack off. As the water circulates through the system, inside one of the pipes, is a gizmo called a T-cell. The T-cell continuously attracts the sodium/potassium, and converts it to chlorine, which is released into the same flow of water. It's a continuous cycle, until it's turned off. During the summer, we run it about 10 hours. That's sufficient to supply the amount of chlorine we need, on a daily basis. In the winter, 6 hours is all that's needed, due to the lower temperature. A reservoir would be too much salt at one time, overwhelm the T-cell, causing build up, which would render it useless. Like I said, I usually add 1/2 a bag every 3 weeks. In that much water, you don't even know it's there.
) reality TV show is going to end. I can't imagine spending even 1 microsecond watching people who are famous for no reason other than they are famous. Who watches that stuff? Obviously a lot of people or they wouldn't have been for 20 seasons, 13 years.
), I get the impression that yes, this is a saltwater pool. It's nowhere near as salty as the ocean, but, as long as it is monitored and the correct level of salinity maintained, it is supposed to be as sanitary as the conventional chlorinated pool. The system uses the process of electrolysis to maintain a certain amount of free chlorine ions in the water - or that's the theory, at any rate.
