Can you get sick from salt water pools?

Asked by: Sricharan Jefferson

As with all kinds of treated pools, it is possible to get infections from salt pools. Bad bacteria in the pool can infect you. This usually happens when using an improperly treated pool with incorrect pH, stabiliser, and chlorine levels. Diarrhea and swimmer’s ear are the most common infections, according to the CDC.
