Generally they all work on the same principle some have a bigger output then others and cost more. some keep them selves clean that is there is no build up on the clorine generator elements.etc etc The best thing is to have a look around and have a talk with a few of the reps that sell them.
There is one new salt system coming out where they use a mix of Magnesium and Sodium chloride which is much better for you and the environment around you then the traditional salt Potassium chloride.
The new system is originally from Germany and has been taken up by an Australian company and sold under the name Magnablu.

Can you put salt in your chlorine pool and make it clearer and easier to maintain?
It wouldn't make a great deal of difference aside from making the water feel better to swim in. Salt water pools also have chlorine generators that convert part of the salt in the water into chlorine.
What is the difference in equipment specifications between chlorine and salt water inground pools?
There is no difference other then the actual salt and saltwater chlorination equipment.
Can you have a salt water hot tub and a chlorine pool without cross contamination?
You cannot "contaminate" a chlorine pool or spa with salt or vice versa. Chlorine starts as salt. Chlorine generators use salt to make chlorine. Therefore your "salt" spa is already a chlorine spa, you are just not putting chlorine tablets in it. It is a very common misconception that a salt system is some how different than a chlorine system. There are no "salt generators" and the salt does nothing other than allow a "chlorine generator" to produce chlorine. We get this question almost every day and it's generally because customers are "sold" not "told" about the product they purchased. If you were expecting anything other than purchasing a device that makes chlorine from salt, you will be disappointed. Pool & Spa
Can chlorine cause stainless steel to rust?
The use of salt chlorine generators can cause pin holes and pits in stainless steel.
Can you make an Epsom salt water pool?
The usual reason for salt in a pool is for chlorination. Epsom salt won't work with salt/chlorine generators. BUT, you can add epsom salt to your water.
What is the relationship between sodium chlorine and table salt?
Table salt is a compound formed by reaction between sodium and chlorine.
What is the proper ratio of salt per gallon of water?
Most chlorine generators require a salt content in the water of a pool 2500 to 6000 ppm
What's the difference between a salt water swimming pool and one that uses chlorine since the salt water breaks down into chlorine anyway?
Salt water does not breakdown into chlorine for a salt water swimming pool unless you have a salt water chlorinator. Other then that many people feel that a salt water pool is a more pleasant feeling environment to swim in. other then that they are both in fact chlorine pools.
Is a salt water or chlorine pool better?
A Salt water pool is a chlorine pool. The difference is that in the case of a saltwater pool there is a chlorinater fited inline that converts the salt into chlorine automaticaly, Meaning that you don't have to purchace any chlorine to keep up chlorine levels.
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.
Will switching from chlorine chemical system to a salt water system ruin pool?
No A salt water pool is in fact also chlorine pool, the difference being that with a salt water pool a salt water chlorinator converts the salt that is in the water into chlorine gas which is then dissolved into the water while the filter is running. the conversion wont have any adverse effects on the pool.
What measures salt content in salt water chlorine generators?
Salt water is a very efficient electrical conductor, in pool applications the current used is low voltage DC to prevent high voltage AC electrocution. In the chlorine generators electronics circuit board there is a DC current sensor set with a value of -/+. If the salt content is low it takes more current to pass through and an alarm would indicate to add more salt. If the salt content is to high, current passes through to easy and alarm would indicate to remove salt.
