Salt Chlorination Systems

Salt Chlorination Systems are becoming increasingly popular, but, unlike commonly believed, you cannot simply put salt in the pool, you need a salt chlorination system which makes its own chlorine for swimming pools by converting mild saline pool water (about 1/6th the concentration of seawater) into chlorine.

The process of electrolysis splits the salt molecule (sodium chloride) into sodium and chlorine. At the same time a hydrogen atom is freed up from the water molecules. This produces sodium hypo chlorite (liquid chlorine) for your swimming pool. Sodium hypochlorite is chlorine in a usable form, which purifies and sterilizes the pool water.

It will in fact reduce purchasing or adding sanitizing chemicals such as liquid or granular chlorine. It will also minimise the hazards of handling and storing of chlorine chemicals.

Not only does a salt chlorination system will keep your pool clean, clear, and sterile, but you will also experience aesthetic benefits such as, no sore, stinging red eyes and no smelly or itchy skin, and bathing suits will not disintegrate.
