Salt Systems and Chlorine Generators

Saltwater Chlorinators and Saltwater Chlorine Generators for Swimming Pools

Looking to simplify pool maintenance and enjoy crystal-clear water? Salt chlorine generators, which are also called saltwater chlorinators or salt cells for pools, are innovative pool water treatment devices that generate chlorine through the electrolysis of salt. Instead of manually adding chlorine in tablets, liquid, or powder form, these salt systems produce chlorine directly from dissolved salt, offering a more efficient and user-friendly way to keep your pool sanitized.

How Salt Chlorine Generators Work:

1. Salt Addition: Add sodium chloride (table salt) to your pool water.
2. Electrolysis Process: As water circulates through the system, an electrolytic cell with metal plates (often coated with titanium or ruthenium) applies an electric current to convert the salt into chlorine.
3. Chlorine Production: The generated chlorine effectively sanitizes the water, controlling algae and bacteria.
4. Salt Reformation: After chlorine sanitizes the water, it reforms as salt, maintaining a stable salt level over time. You’ll only need to replenish salt occasionally due to splash-out, backwashing, or rain dilution.

Why Choose Saltwater Chlorination?

• Gentle on Skin and Eyes: Saltwater pools are often more comfortable for swimmers compared to traditional chlorine pools.
• Consistent Chlorination: Enjoy steady, automated chlorine production for hassle-free pool maintenance.
• Cost-Effective Long-Term: Fewer chemical purchases and reduced manual labor mean savings over time.

While saltwater chlorine generators require monitoring of salt levels and regular cell maintenance to prevent scaling, they’re a game-changer for pool owners seeking convenience and comfort.
