I was so excited to learn our pool was finally converting to salt water. While I was swimming, the pool dude dumped 3 huge bags of salt in each lane. That night I experienced sinusitis -- huge thick amounts of mucus (sorry, I know this is gross). That was a week ago. I'm still sick - just tons of gunk coming out everyday, I'm really fatigued, can't taste anything. I haven't had a voice in 3 days (some people are happy about that!:applaud:
I haven't swam since Friday. Is this possible that the sudden onslaught of salt brought this on? I wear a silicone cap and nose clips. I'm trying to do this the natural way - ginger tea, and an antihistamine, but I miss the pool. This is a bummer
Having done more research, it turns out that salt pools are indeed legal, and have become much more common as mentioned in this article about a Y in Allentown PA. The expense seems quite reasonable, and the health benefits surely outweigh the conversion costs.
The article about the Y's conversion to a saltwater pool is awesome.
More stories like this would help the process of having more pools converted to salt water.
