dayzees13 Posted December 24, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 24, 2022 I tried doing a few searches but can't find what I'm looking for. Could someone confirm whether the pools on Apex are salt or chlorine water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted December 24, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Even salt water pools are chlorinated on cruise ships. The only time a pool can be unchlorinated is if it is in "flow through" mode, where the sea water is continually pumped into the pool, and the overflow goes back to the sea. These "flow through" pools must be either closed, or drained, when the ship is within 12 miles of land, so most ships with salt water pools only go to "flow through" when there are 2-3 sea days in a row. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I appreciate your thoughts. I ask because one cruise we took had very salty pools and we try to avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepcman Posted December 26, 2022 #4 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Maybe one of the Cooks added too much salt . Can't see how it could be more salty than the ocean they're pulling from. Better stay away from the Dead Sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatieDub Posted December 28, 2022 #7 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Are you asking about chlorinated pools or fresh water pools? As far as I'm aware all pools on Celebrity ships are salt water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
