I have a friend with a saltwater pool and they've had some problems with it.  Ours is normal which works fine for me.

This is the first time in the 6 years we've had it that it has given us problems. The salt pool is so much nicer on the skin than straight chlorine. We really love it.

Yeah people say that.  I don't notice any difference.  But you gotta do you. 

He's considering switching to standard.

Only ever swam in a salt water pool once.  It was weird.

They're only usually slightly salty, not super salty.  

Like around 3,000 ppm IIRC.  I had one, filled it in about 10 years ago or so.  It definitely felt much better on the skin, and eyes.

We don't drive much.

Glad I took on 160 gallons at $3.99 for the boat last week.

I feel your pain. Did something quite similar, hours before a golf lesson (first one ever!), a couple of weeks ago.
