What is a Salt Water Pool?

A salt water pool uses a salt chlorinator system to convert salt into chlorine, maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of your pool. This method provides a low, continuous dose of chlorine, unlike traditional methods that require larger, weekly doses. The result is a more consistent and gentle chlorination process.

Benefits of Salt Water Pool Chlorinators

1. Softer Water:

  • Salt water pools offer a more pleasant swimming experience. The water feels softer on the skin and eyes, reducing the harshness often associated with traditional chlorine pools.

2. Continuous Chlorination:

  • The salt chlorinator system continuously converts salt into chlorine, maintaining a consistent level of sanitization. This ensures your pool is always clean and safe for swimming.

3. Reduced Maintenance:

  • With a salt water pool, you can say goodbye to more frequent larger dosing of chlorine. The system takes care of chlorination, simplifying your pool maintenance routine.

4. Cost-Effective:

  • Over time, the cost of maintaining a salt water pool can be lower than traditional chlorine pools. While the initial investment may be higher, the ongoing expense of purchasing chlorine is significantly reduced.

Considerations and Drawbacks

While salt water pools offer numerous benefits, there are some considerations to keep in mind:

1. Corrosion:

  • Salt water can be corrosive to certain pool components, such as metal fixtures and heaters. It’s essential to choose compatible materials and perform regular maintenance to prevent corrosion.

2. System Adjustments:

  • Occasionally, adjustments to the salt chlorinator system may be necessary. Additionally, there might be situations where you need to add traditional chlorine to the pool to maintain proper sanitation levels.

Converting a Chlorine Pool to a Salt Water Pool

Choose A System

It can be overwhelming choosing pool salt chlorinators - we'll guide you in the search and consult your best options. Your system should be chosen based on reliability, performance, and budget. Performance will be relevant to your pool size; while reliability is just as important. Why lose out on your investment?

Professional Installation

A salt chlorinator must be professionally installed and plumbed for optimal performance and system longevity. Certain components will be carefully put in even the most complex pool systems. An "A-node" element will be plumbed-in to prevent metal-salt corrosion.

Add Salt & Swim

You can swim shortly after the salt dose is added to the pool or spa. Your pool will take several 40 lb. bags of pool salt that must be completely dissolved in the water to prevent surface erosion. Spas will take less. The chemicals must be balanced and a 24 hour grace period takes place before turning on your salt chlorinator.
