What is a Salt Chlorinator and Why Should I Have One on My Swimming Pool?
A salt chlorinator is a device which converts standard table salt into sodium hypo chloride. If you are still using traditional methods to sanitize your pool or spa now is the time to review these units.
Pure sanitizer being added to the pool
Sanitizer is being added on a regular basis (daily)
pH neutral chlorine is being produced, helps keep the pool and spa pH in balance
Softer silky water to swim in
No need to store dangerous chemicals
So how do theses units work? The unit is installed in the pump and filter area. There is an inline “cell” which is installed in the piping and power box which is installed on the wall of the home. When the pool or spa pump is running, pool water is sent through an inline cell and the salt in the pool water is converted into sodium hypo chloride. (chlorine or sanitizer) As the chlorine travels back to the pool the process starts over again. The power box or power supply is electrically connected to the inline cell and controls the amount of time and output of the pool sanitizer.
When this unit is installed, how much salt will the pool require? The amount of salt that will be added to the pool will depend on the total gallons of the pool and or spa. Each unit will come with an instruction booklet to advise the amount of salt to add based the amount of gallons of water in the pool. Most units will require 3000 parts per million of salt in the pool...
