The Fun Researcher Posted November 9, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Thank you. I'm assuming this is the same answer for all Solstice class ships? I'm specifically asking about the Silhouette. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodger1964 Posted November 9, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I thought the pools on S class were all "regular...chlorinated" pools? The T-Pool on M class is salt water... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles4515 Posted November 9, 2016 #5 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I thought the pools on S class were all "regular...chlorinated" pools? The T-Pool on M class is salt water... All pools are chlorinated. In a fresh water pool chlorine is added as a chemical. In salt water pool chlorine is generated from the salt.

Rare cruisestitch Posted November 9, 2016 #6 Share Posted November 9, 2016 All of the pool water comes from the sea water -- so it is all salt water originally. As I recall, in the S class, most of the salts are removed and the pools are similar to fresh water pools. On the M class, the outdoor pool water would be better described as salt water. Also on those ships, there is a Thallasotherapy type pool, with minerals added to the water. This pool is in the Solarium. This is from memory, so if I am wrong, I'm sure someone will correct me.

Fish Lover Posted November 10, 2016 #7 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I can only speak to the thelsotherapy pool in the Solarium on the Summit. It is definitely salt water and it is VERY salty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sloopsailor Posted November 12, 2016 #10 Share Posted November 12, 2016 All pools on S-class ships are the equivalent of fresh water pools. All pools on M-class ships are salt water pools. The higher capacity to create drinkable water from sea water (desalination) on S-class ships allows them to also use "fresh" water in their pools.

lovecruzin Posted September 24, 2017 #12 Share Posted September 24, 2017 We were told yesterday by the environmental officer on Solstice that the pool is fresh water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserByHeart Posted September 24, 2017 #13 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Salt or fresh water... Still remember the destinct smell of chlorine when entering the solarium... how it wasn't from something they'd serve in the Aqua Spa Café :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted September 24, 2017 #14 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Solarium pools and hot tubs are swim suit killers...we bring old suits just for them...eats the material. Chlorine resistant fares slightly better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
