Chlorinators are often used to maintain the level of chlorine in Swimming Pools. They put chlorine into the water to kill bacteria. The chlorinator can be regulated so that the amount of chlorine is enough to disinfect the water but not enough to irritate the skin and eyes of swimmers.

Does salt or chlorine chlorinate better?
Salt is NaCl from which Chlorine gas (also known as mustard gas) is generated. So salt chlorinators are chlorine factories that produce chlorine gas from the salt molecule. Salt has a softening effect so feels smoother on the skin, creating an illusion of health. However, in the end you're still swimming in chlorine which is very unhealthy. Salt chlorinators are also extremely bad for the environment. Back washing salt water to sewerage systems has been banned in many parts of the USA due to damage from salt to natural waterways and wetlands.
Where can I read reviews on chlorinators?
What you really want to do is look around on the internet for chlorinator reviews although it can be frustrating since there aren’t many out there. If you look around in the internet there are endless places to read product reviews both by customers as well as the manufacturers but in terms of reviews of chlorinators specifically, I would recommend starting at a site like www.epinions.com or www.consumerreview.com and see what you can find. Another suggestion would be to post a question online, such as on a pool blog or on Yahoo Answers and ask for others’ feedback. Lots of times you will find this to be more accurate and dependable than a review that has been placed by the seller or manufacturer.

Saltwater swimming pool?
Usually that means you put salt in the water: maybe 400 to 500 pounds for an average size pool in ground pool and you will then use a salt chlorinator in the water piping to zap a molecule off the salt to turn it into chlorine. It is self regulating so that you don't have burning eyes or an excessive chlorine smell in the water. Salt is much less expensive than buy chlorine in bottles and also safer as you won't damage your car if it spills. For that amount of salt you won't taste it in the water either. Most of the major pool manufacturers make salt chlorinators like; Hayward, Zodiac, Pentair etc. There are also pools that are full of salt like the ocean but that is not common. You can learn more about the specifications of salt chlorinators at millsco.com too. Marcus
How often should you be using the chlorine booster in a saltwater pool system?
If you look at it from the point of view of economy then its a matter of weighing out the difference in the expense of running the chlorine generator long enough to produce the required chlorine. or the cost of the extra chlorine. Often when saltwater chlorinators are installed they are under size to make the sale easier. so a third option is to install a larger chlorine generator. Theoretically you shouldn't have to boost the chlorine at all.
