IS THAT A SALT WATER POOL?

 There has been a lot of talk lately about salt water pools; but what does this really mean?

 Let's look at the exciting technology and benefits of Electrolytic Chlorine Generation!

 Swimming pool sanitation technology has come a long way from lugging yellow jugs and dumping harsh chlorine in your pool to keep the water clear. Today there is an effective, convenient and easy way to keep your pool and water a sparkling paradise. Officially called Electrolytic Chlorine Generation, with a chlorine generator, ordinary table salt (sodium chloride) is added to the pool water. Less than one teaspoon of salt per gallon of water is required. As the dissolved salt flows through the generator cell, it is converted to pure chlorine, which is then redistributed through the pool sanitizing the water, keeping it fresh, clear and safe. The salt is recycled day after day which further reduces pool maintenance requirements.

Automatic chlorine generators are an eco-friendly “green” choice for any swimming pool. Consider that using a salt system will greatly reduce the chlorine that needs to be produced at chemical processing plants for use in pools and spas. This reduces the emissions and energy use from production, packaging and transportation. You no longer need to buy, transport or handle chlorine products. This reduces the chance of spills or accidental exposure and eliminates cost. Because the chlorine produced by salt is pure; the odor, stinging eyes and irritated skin caused by additives in packaged chlorine are eliminated. The chlorine generator that we recommend from Pentair (IntelliChlor®) is rated for more than 10,000 hours of operation. The electronics are isolated and waterproof for longer cell life and maximum reliability.

Automatic Chlorine Generators or Salt Systems offer: 

• The Same sanitation performance of manual chlorine without the drawbacks
• No need to buy, transport and store expensive chlorine compounds
• No more chlorine odor, stinging eyes, irritated skin and bleached out swimsuit

For new swimming pools, salt systems are a smart choice for today’s lifestyle. For existing swimming pool owners, your pool can be a salt water pool too. The automatic chlorine generator can typically be installed with your existing equipment.
