I had my first salt water pool built in 1988, it was great. No problems, after checking the chemistry every week for a few months I went to once a month than every other month.
In 1996 I built a new house and again a salt water pool. The technology had gotten better and the price was lower. Same no hassle operation.
In 2006 a lightning strike near the house took out equipment as well as TV's, stereo, computers. Replacement salt system had improved and was again cheaper than previous.
Only maintenance is to add salt 40-80# a few times a year. Mostly caused by heavy rain or a lot of kids splashing water out of pool over time.
Benefits:
Reduced chemical cost,
Swim wear does not fade due to chlorine,
No chlorine eye burn,
Almost no maintenance,
No service needed when out of town for extended time,
No chlorine smell.
