Salt Chlorinators

What is a pool salt chlorinator?

Salt electrolysis is a system for producing chlorine from the salt contained in pool water, and can be combined with water parameter control systems to ensure precise, effective, continuous treatment.

The pool chlorinator is a water treatment device that involves pouring salt into an outdoor pool, and transforming it into sodium hypochlorite (natural chlorine) through an electrolysis process. This element is then used to destroy bacteria, algae and fungi in the water, and to disinfect your bathing water. Under the action of the sun, sodium hypochlorite spontaneously reverts to salt, enabling the cycle to be repeated almost infinitely with very little intervention on your part. All without the usual drawbacks of chlorine: no odours, no irritation.

What are the benefits of salt chlorination as a pool water treatment method?

The advantages of salt chlorination are:

• Simplified water treatment: the sanitization process uses a salt chlorinator and is therefore automated. Maintenance becomes less of a burden, because it is not necessary to add salt as frequently as disinfecting tablets.
• Softer on the skin: salt chlorination does not pose any risk of irritation or allergy.
• Safer: the danger associated with storing chemicals is entirely eliminated because salt is a natural substance.
• Better for the environment: salt is not a polluant, and when filters are backwashed no chemicals are released into the wastewater system!
