The change over is expensive up front, and the salt is somewhat expensive, however the yearly cost of maintaining is actually lower and it will pay itself off in a few years.
Depending on the size of the pool, you can find the equipment starting around 500 bucks.

Eh, I dont know, for my 18'x52" round pool, needed I think six or seven 40lb bags to start, if I kept the pool filled, that of course would not be an annual expense, but even if it is, $6 a bag x 7 bags aint a whole lot, considering you most likely dont have to buy any more during the year.

true, however you still have to buy the equipment to make it all work. Its more than just throwing salt in.

Oh, concur, for my aboveground Intex, was around $180, I think, one for an 18'x32' pool, thats 21,000 gallons, with a built in sand filter, would be under $500.
