Other common issues that a salt-water pool has are that the salt can crystallize and clog or damage the filter. It has also been found that in large pools that the salt-water chlorinator cannot keep up in the hotter weather. The water from the salt-water pool is not good for plant life or grass around the pool. It may be better than a chlorinated pool but the salt level are too high and can kill the grass and plant life. It has also been said that salt water pools attract bees and other bugs to the area.

The backsplash can kill plants surrounding the pool, and is still potentially harmful to swimmers if you do not regulate the water's chemical levels. The systems are still not free from chemicals.
