Saltwater chlorine generators are worth the upgrade

They are.

No more lugging buckets of tablets from the store, no more worrying about storing chlorine gas cans in your garage. The water feels noticeably softer on the skin and doesn’t smell like a bleach bottle.

The catch is the upfront cost — usually $1,000–$2,000 for the generator and installation. But you stop buying chlorine pucks, so it pays for itself in a few years. Maintenance is just checking salt levels and cleaning the cell once a season.

I wouldn’t bother
