Salt chlorinators work by using added table salt to your pool water, to produce pure chlorine gas off of the cell when the water passes over it.
This process occurs due to a small electrical charge between opposing plates inside of the chlorinator cell. When this charge is added through the chlorinator cells to the water the salt is split into its two components, sodium and chlorine. This is a very cost efficient method of creating the chlorine needed for pool maintenance, as the salt is used over and over again to produce more chlorine each time it passes over the chlorinator’s electrodes. The only way to lose pool salt is through backwashing your pool filter, splashing water out the pool, and a leak.
Therefore salt needs to be topped up as needed which can be a standard bag or two every few months. Chlorinators dramatically reduce the need for pool water maintenance, chemicals, and possibly pool maintenance services. You also save on algaecides, clarifiers and flocculants as your pool stays clean and clear. You will still need to check your pH balance etc, if the pool goes green and murky, to maintain crystal clear water. A chlorinator takes care of pool water sanitation so you don’t have to regularly add chlorine.
