Hey guys,
I need a help.I'm living in Massachusetts. We have a pool on our backyard side. It has been a year since we have this chlorine water pool.
There an issue now, the pool often requires to add more chlorine. Last month we contacted some swimming pool services in Massachusetts for the maintenance. Instead of this pros service we need to find the time to buy chlorine to maintain the pool, that is a real headache. And we are almost fed up with this continuous pool maintenance cost.
Somehow we decided to convert it into a salt water pool.
what can we do to drain the chlorine water and refill the pool with salt water?
I'm running on a low budget to invest more in pool maintenance, so preferably we'd like to cooperate with pros who can help us at a reasonable cost.
Please comment your suggestions. Thank you!

A saltwater pool IS a chlorine pool. It is just an automated way to add chlorine to the pool by converting the salt added to the water into chlorine by electrolysis of the salt in the Salt Water Chlorine Generator. Many companies offer such units for both inground and above ground pools.  It does not relieve you of the necessity of testing and balancing your water, adding acid to adjust the pH, etc.  If you are not willing to do this or have a service do it for you then perhaps you should not have a pool.

If I tell my personal experience, I hated salt pools, I don't care for the vibe of the water. in the event that I need salt water, i'll swim in the ocean. chlorine feels fresher and cleaner to me. 

likewise, I think salt pools are progressively costly to run, significantly greater power and upkeep on the rigging
