Salt water pool systems & UV/ozone sanitation, done right.
Harsh chlorine and constant test strips are a thing of the past. LIV installs and converts salt water pool systems — Hayward AquaRite salt chlorination plus HydraPure UV/ozone sanitization — so your pool makes its own chlorine from a little salt and adds advanced oxidation for the clearest, gentlest water possible. Less upkeep, no red eyes, and no chemical smell.
AquaRite turns a teaspoon of salt per gallon into steady, self-generated chlorine.
UV and ozone advanced oxidation knock out what chlorine alone misses, for the cleanest water.
Salt water is gentle on skin, eyes, and swimsuits — no harsh chemical smell.
Sanitation runs automatically and ties into OmniLogic, so the water just stays right.
Make your own chlorine, naturally.
A salt pool doesn't mean an ocean in your backyard — it's a small amount of salt that a Hayward AquaRite cell quietly converts into pure chlorine, then back into salt, on a loop. The result is consistent sanitation without hauling chlorine tabs or chasing chemistry every weekend.
We pair it with HydraPure, Hayward's UV and ozone advanced-oxidation system, for water that's clearer and gentler than chlorine alone can deliver. Everything reports into OmniLogic, so your pool across Pinellas and Hillsborough stays balanced with almost no day-to-day attention.

Frequently asked questions.
How much does a salt water pool conversion cost in Tampa Bay?
For most Tampa Bay pools, converting to a Hayward AquaRite salt system is one of the most affordable equipment upgrades — typically a low-four-figure job installed, depending on your pool's volume and the condition of your existing pad. Adding HydraPure UV/ozone or OmniLogic automation raises the scope. We quote it the way we quote everything: a free on-site visit and a transparent, itemized number before any work starts.
Is a salt water pool really chlorine-free?
No — and that surprises a lot of homeowners. An AquaRite cell converts a small amount of dissolved salt into pure chlorine, then back into salt, on a continuous loop. The difference is the dose: steady, self-generated chlorine at a much lower level than tab-fed pools, so the water feels noticeably softer on skin, eyes, and swimsuits. It's a low-chlorine pool, not a no-chlorine pool.
What does a UV/ozone pool sanitizer do that a salt system alone doesn't?
Chlorine is great at day-to-day sanitation but slow against chloramines — the byproducts behind "chlorine smell" — and certain chlorine-resistant microorganisms. HydraPure, Hayward's UV/ozone advanced-oxidation system, destroys both as water passes through the unit, which lets your pool hold crystal-clear water at an even lower chlorine level. We install it alongside AquaRite as one combined system, and both tie into OmniLogic so the chemistry largely runs itself.
Does Tampa Bay's hard water cause problems for salt systems?
It's the main local factor we plan for. Tampa Bay's calcium-heavy fill water encourages scale, and scale's favorite place to collect is the salt cell's plates — choking chlorine output over time. We size the cell to your pool's actual gallons so it isn't running flat-out, set the chemistry properly at startup, and show you how to check the cell, so hard water stays a maintenance note instead of a system killer.
How long does a salt water conversion take?
Most straightforward conversions are done in a day. We plumb the AquaRite cell into your existing equipment pad, wire the control unit, add the initial salt, and dial in the output. If you're bundling a variable-speed pump, HydraPure, or OmniLogic automation at the same time — which many Pinellas and Hillsborough homeowners do — plan on a little longer, and we'll give you the exact timeline with your quote.
