Salt Water Pool Chlorination West Palm Boca Raton
What is salt water pool chlorination? Simply put, a salt chlorine generator is a swimming pool chlorination system that creates chlorine from sodium chloride (salt).
Some people think that salt pools do not contain chlorine. This couldn’t be further from the truth. A salt water system sanitizes the water with chlorine just like other pools. The difference between them is in how the chlorine is added to the pool. Salt chlorine generators convert sodium chloride (NaCl), or common salt, into chlorine. These salt generators, also called salt cells, work by electrolysis.
A common myth is that salt water systems require zero maintenance, but that is false. Your chemicals still need to be checked and maintained on a regular basis. You will also need to add salt to your pool, depending on the time of year and the usage. Your salt cell must also be inspected from time to time, about once every 3-6 months. If there is excess calcium build-up on the blades, clean it with an approved cleaner.
A salt water system pool has less chlorine and less of the heavy chemical scent and content. They are gentler on the skin, with less irritation to the eyes, hair and swimsuits. The water has a softer, silkier feel to it compared to chlorine water. They also have lower maintenance costs than chlorine pools.
