What is a chlorine generator?
Many people are choosing to remodel their swimming pool systems to add saltwater chlorination. With a saltwater pool system, a chlorine generator is added to the pool's filtration system. The water circulates through the chlorinator, where salt produces a chlorine gas that dissolves into the water. That chlorine in turn, breaks down and turns into salt, cycling the process all over again.

Saltwater pool versus chlorine poolMy family is in the process of having an inground pool installed. As a matter of fact it was finally filled with water today. I will try and answer your question to the best of my ability. We went with a salt water pool because it is more stable than chlorine. It won't burn you eyes, turn your hair green, etc. You also do not have to add as many chemicals. A bottle of muriatic acid weekly and a 40 pound bag of pool salt every 3 or 4 months. We had an above ground pool before and we had nothing but trouble trying to keep it clean and we spent a bundle on chlorine and all kinds of chemicals to keep the water clear. Anyway I love salt water pools however a salt water pool is still a chlorine pool that is why the salt is added to the water. The best known material for salt water pools Is sodium chloride, this is dissolved in the water and the water is then run through electronic element that separates chlorine out of the salt into the water. a less environmentally harmful system that uses Magnesium chloride and potassium chloride is now also becoming available.
