Yes you can convert to a salt system. As you know a chemical component of salt is chlorine so it works just as well, however, unless you change the metals used on your stairs and other fixtures in and around your pool the salt water will be corrosive and you will see the effects in about 3 or 4 years of use. New pools being built with salt systems use metals that salt water will not corrode, such as brass.
What else can I help you with?
Is saltwater pools sore on your eyes?
True salt water pools have the same parts per million (ppm) as sea water which is roughly 35,000 ppm. We have a salt taste threshold of around 3,500 ppm and our eyes have about 7,000ppm. Most chlorine generators require a salt content of 3,000-5,000 ppm in the pool. You will feel the salt in a true salt water pool, most people don't notice the salt in a pool with a chlorine generator.
What is a salt water generator?
A salt water generator, also known as a salt chlorinator, is a device that converts salt into chlorine to sanitize and disinfect pool or spa water. It works by passing an electrical current through salt water, which then produces chlorine gas that dissolves into the water. This eliminates the need for traditional chlorine chemicals to be added to the water on a regular basis.
Is there a swimming pool system that allows one to have a seawater pool at home?
Yes, In Key West Florida, the Hemmingway house has one. It uses a pipeline to the sea that actually cleans it. Sea water is pretty disgusting (correct) You can make your pool,hottub and even bathtub a Salt water pool, Go to www.h2oco.com and look up salt water then give me a call at 801-232-5893 800-488-2436 Kenny Answer: There is a way to make your pool a salt chlorination swimming pool, but that is not exactly sea water. The chlorine is put through a process which turns it into a natural salt solution which cleans your water in effect making it a salt water pool.
What are the elements in a sea salt compound?
Sea salt is generally made of sodium chloride which contains sodium and chlorine.
What is a saltwater swimming pool?
A salt water swimming pool is a pool that has had salt added to it in order to be able to use the salt in water that is circulated through the filtration system and run it through a chlorinator. This is a set of elements that electronically create chlorine gas that is almost instantly dissolved into the water to sanitise it. The concentration of salt in the water is about 1/8 that of sea water or about the same as that in tears.
Can pool Salt be used in cooking?
No I wouldn't use it for cooking. Get yourself some good sea salt.
Can you mine chlorine?
No, its a gas. You can't mine it.The usual source for Chlorine is common salt, as found in salt mines, salt pans and the sea. Salt is a molecule consisting of one atom of Sodium and one of Chlorine. By breaking the chemical bond between them, Chlorine is released.
How do we get chlorine?
Chlorine is typically produced by electrolysis of salt water (brine) or by direct chlorination of hydrocarbons. It is commonly obtained commercially for water treatment and disinfection purposes. Additionally, chlorine is a naturally occurring element found in salt deposits and in seawater.
Do salt water pools corrode more than chlorine pools?
yes There is very little salt in a saltwater pool compared to sea water,however as a result of this there is likely to be more corrosion but in 25 years I have never had any problems with it.
What is the source of chlorine?
The source of chlorine is primarily derived from salt deposits found in the earth's crust. It is extracted through a process called electrolysis, where an electric current is passed through a solution of sodium chloride (salt water) to separate the chlorine from the sodium.
What you salt made out of?
Sodium chloride (NaCl) contain sodium and chlorine. Industrially NaCl is extracted from sea water or salt mines.
Why it is so easy swim in sea water than swimming pool?
this is because the sea is full of salt (as most people figure out after swallowing most of it) which acts as a buoyant that's why in the dead sea you float a lot easier as it is full of salt. in the swimming pool it doesn't contain as much salt. hope this helps :)
