Yes the Big Blue Pool uses salt as a filtration system, the Cozy Cone Pool and Flippin' Fins Pool are chlorinated.

Wonder why that is? Because of its size?
Cost?

It's not a saltwater pool but uses a salt filtration system which is so much better than pure chlorine.

I really don't know much about the topic to be honest. Just wondering why this is thier only salt water pool?

OK let's go deeper into the function of a Salt water filtration system. A Salt water filtration system actually uses a salt generator that uses salt to generate chlorine. The same chlorine as in a normal chlorine pool.

The other byproduct of a salt water filtration system is it raises the PH level much quicker and must be monitored more frequently.

There really is no real difference other than guests think that "saltwater" pools are cool or don't have that harsh chlorine in the water but they still require it to meet local public sanitary guidelines it just is generated differently.

Interesting. But AoA is the only pool Disney does this with, correct? Could they possibly swap to this with SAB after the refurb?

SAB already uses salt water filtration.
