Saltwater Pool Maintenance: Do You Need to Drain It?

No, salt water pools do not need to be drained annually. In fact, they can go several years without needing to be drained. The only time a salt water pool may need to be drained is if there is a major problem with the pool, such as a leak or a pump failure.

Salt water pools are much easier to maintain than traditional chlorine pools. They require less chlorine, and the salt water is less harsh on the skin and eyes. Salt water pools also tend to be more consistent in temperature, as the salt helps to prevent the water from evaporating.
