SALTWATER CHLORINATION

Salt water chlorination methods create chlorine from salt through a simple electrolysis process. As the salt water passes through an electrolytic cell in the chlorinator, the salt turns into a chlorine gas that dissolves in the water to become sodium hypochlorite (or liquid chlorine). The beauty of the salt water chlorination process is that the chlorine then turns back into salt and the system continues as long as the generator is functioning properly.

Benefits of a Salt Water Chlorinator

• Easier to maintain pool water quality
• Ongoing maintenance is cheaper
• No potentially harmful chemicals
• The unpleasant taste and smell of chlorine is greatly reduced
• Salt has mild antiseptic qualities.
• Irritation to swimmer’s eyes reduced
• Softens water

Sizing of Saltwater Chlorinator

It is most important to match the output of the saltwater chlorinator with the size of pool and capacity of pump to minimize operating times and costs.

A chlorinator with self cleaning cell will also reduce maintenance time.
