- Eliminate the need to use and handle chlorine tablets.
- Greatly reduce (or eliminate) 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 and more pleasant feel to pool water.
- Reduction of irritants that are caused from by-products of other forms of sanitizers.
- 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:
- What type of plumbing configuration is currently in place?
- How large is the pool?
- How much demand will the pool receive?
