Both pools require you to keep track of the pH... Both require muriatic acid to keep the chlorine from evaporating. A salt water pool cannot have standard metal parts inside it such as the ring around your light or the screws holding such a ring in place.
Most people prefer the salt water pool to the chlorinated pool. Both have chlorine in them. The difference is the pH balance is often a bit high in a standard chlorinated water pool so it burns the eyes and possibly dries out the skin. A salt water pool feels like a soft water bath. Soothing.
