Advantages are no more shocking the pool (unless somehow contaminated), the 'salt cell' which converts the salt into chlorine... Less harsh on the skin and all that. The disadvantage is it's another point of failure - cells are like $6-800 and if yours last 5 years you're doing really, really well. My pool was saltwater, but the cell took a shit and I just couldn't justify the cost when chlorine is so cheap and it really doesn't take much more to maintain.

The man reason for looking at BioNova is no need to shock. We travel enough that creating a pool that maintains itself is a huge deal.
Water here is precious. I would love to have those in the suburban world of rooftops understand how dumb their 3am sprinklers are.
