Love Pool Care offers installation and repair of salt systems
(chlorine-generators). |
|
Benefits of salt systems: |
- Eliminate the need to use and handle chlorine tablets.
- Greatly reduce the need to super-chlorinate your pool involving
other forms of sanitizers.
- Helps eliminate the formation of algae (if chemical balance is
within proper ranges).
- Softer feel of pool water.
- Reduction of irritants that are caused from by-products of other
forms of sanitizers.

Factors to keep in mind when having a salt system installed: |
- They are not "plug-n-leave" systems. Proper maintenance of your pool
equipment and water will help extend the life of your electrode cell.
- Electrode cells still need to be manually cleaned even if they're
"self-cleaning" cells.
- pH levels should be kept between 7.2-7.8 ppm. Salt systems will
produce a higher pH (~8.0 ppm), so controlling the pH with muriatic acid
is a must.
- Alkalinity is also very important. Levels should be maintained
between 80-120 ppm.
- Stabilizer levels will need to be adjusted 1-2 times per year. Salt
systems produce a non-stabilized form of chlorine… which results in the
loss of stabilizer throughout the year.
- Salt does not evaporate from the pool. The only way salt levels are
reduced is by water loss (splash-out, backwashing, leaks, etc).
- Seawater salt levels are about 35,000 ppm. In general, common salt
content for a salt system is 3,500 ppm. Quite a difference!

|
We combine several factors in determining which salt system to install
on our pools. Such factors include: |
- What type of plumbing configuration is currently in place?
- How large is the pool?
- How much demand will the pool receive?
|
|
Which salt systems have proven to be effective (without excessive
problems): |
- Balboa Eco-Matic ESC-Series
- Pentair IntelliChlor
|
|
We're currently offering installation rates for these units starting
at: |
- Balboa Eco-Matic ESC 36 (less than 40,000 gallons), $995.00 plus
tax,salt, and valves (if needed).
- Pentair IntelliChlor IC-40 (less than 40,000 gallons), $1,195.00
plus tax,salt, and valves (if needed).
- These installation rates begin April 18, 2008 and will only last
until our current inventory runs out. You will not find lower
installation rates (for the Eco-Matic ESC 36) than this current
advertised price.
|
|
These rates are based on basic configuration needs. Extra charges will
apply if additional PVC piping, Schedule 40 fittings, or valves are
needed.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO LOVE POOL
CARE WEEKLY SERVICE CLIENTS:
We're offering the Balboa Eco-Matic ESC 36 installed for $945.00! This does not include sales tax, AquaSalt, or any valves
if re-configuration of piping is needed. Please note that a majority of
installs can be made without re-configuration of piping, however there
will be instances in which this is needed and/or
recommended. |
