If you mean whether there is any benefit to adding salt without adding a chlorine generator (if that's what you meant by conversion equipment), then the answer is not really.

There may be a slight benefit in the feel of the water from the added salt as some people who have salt pools say that it feels better on their skin, but without a chlorine generator, you will still need to manually add chlorine to your pool even though it has salt in it.

Because chlorine in the pool can be reduced by leaving as gas (from the formula HOCl + Cl- --> Cl2(g) + OH-), having more chloride ions from the salt may increase this ongoing reduction of chlorine (though probably not by much). Higher temperatures also increase this rate of loss with a 10 degree increase roughly doubling the rate of loss.

Also note that the increase in Total Dissolved Solids for your added salt (probably around 3500 ppm added) slightly changes the water balance so you'll have to run with a slightly higher (0.1) pH or 22 ppm more Total Alkalinity or 80 ppm more Calcium Hardness.

So, bottom line, if you really like the "feel" of a salt pool, you can add salt to your pool for the same effect.

Yes you can!!! Really!!!

What is the only waste from producing electricity from hydrogen and oxygen?

As no conversion is without some losses (the laws of thermodynamics assures this is the case) there will be heat loss, transmission losses, wear and tare on the equipment etc. There will be other losses/waste from the manufacturing of the equipment and the recycling of the equipment when it is no longer in service.
