If you own or maintain a saltwater pool, there's a good chance you have seen calcium flakes in it too. This article will explain what the flakes really are and debunk some myths about them. Let's get into it.

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) is a metric used in water treatment that measures all dissolved minerals, salts, chlorides, metals, organics, and many other contaminants in water. TDS impacts water conductivity and is related to corrosion, chemical efficiency, water clarity, and is an often-forgotten factor in the LSI.

Calcium carbonate scale forms in swimming pools and other water systems when the water is over-saturated with calcium carbonate. This can be measured and predicted using the Langelier Saturation Index (LSI).  This article discusses why saltwater chlorine generators and pool heaters tend to scale more frequently than the rest of the pool. Hint: temperature matters.

Given the popularity of salt chlorine generators in residential and commercial pools, it is appropriate to share some valuable information for saltwater pool owners/operators, or those considering making the switch to salt.
