If you have a salt water pool then the chlorine generator is there to convert the salt into chlorine to keep up the chlorine content of the pool. However if you don't have one of these or it is broken down you can always add chlorine directly to make up the shortfall until the necessary repairs are done.
What else can I help you with?
Can you use a salt water chlorine generator plus ozone?
Yes you can use an Ozone generator and a Chlorine generator together. The Ozone generator will actually extend the life of the cell on the Chlorine generator because the ozone takes care of the bulk of the oxidation workload, thus the Chlorine generator does not need to be run as hard.
Can you switch from chlorine to a saltwater system just by installing a chlorine generator and adding salt?
Yes, you can switch from chlorine to a saltwater system by installing a chlorine generator, also known as a saltwater chlorinator, and adding salt to your pool. The chlorine generator will convert the salt into chlorine to sanitize the water, eliminating the need for manual chlorine additions. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation and salt levels.
You cannot get the salt level to come up in your swimming pool and the chlorine generator will not produce chlorine?
It sounds like the chlorine generator is broken
Would there ever be a need to add chlorine tablets to a salt water pool?
If the chlorine generator inst run sufficient time or there is a period where an exesive amount of bio material enters the water a litle additional chlorine may at times be an advantage rather then run the filtration equipment longer.
We have no free chlorine in the pool how much salt do you need to add?
That depends on the size of your pool and the level of salt your chlorine generator needs to properly function (usually 3200-3400ppm). If you do not have a quality salt test, I recommend bringing a sample of your water to a local pool store to be tested. Bring your chlorine generator's manual with you and they will help you find where it shows how much salt to add. If your pool has been low on chlorine for more than a day or two, or if the water is cloudy or green, you will need to add some liquid chlorine to assist the chlorine generator in clearing it up.
Is the old pump and filtration system necessary when adding a saltwater chlorine generator?
Yes you still need a pump and filter. The saltwater system generates chlorine and eliminates the need for chlorine tabs. You will still need to keep the water balanced and continue normal pool maintenance.
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.
Can you add a salt water system to an already chlorinated pool?
Yes, just install the chlorine generator and add the salt. Your new system will replace the need for residual chlorine.
Does one need to run a saltwater chlorine generator all the time?
No only for the amount of time that it takes to generate enough chlorine an average this is a minimum of 6 hours per day.
I have turned the chlorine generator down to about 40 yet the chlorine level still read 4400?
You may need to go to a much lower setting or turn it off for a brief period.
Do you have to buy a salt chlorine generator to have a salt water pool?
Yes. The salt is run through a chlorinator that changes the salt to chlorine. It won't do it by itself so you have to buy the generator to do this.
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.
