Ozone is basically harmless to humans but is very corrosive and a very effective way of keeping pool water safe. However it does have a reputation for corroding pool fittings and Plumbing. the salt system uses salt "sodium chloride" Mixed into the water at very low concentration which is then electronically turned into chlorine which in turn sanitizes the water. sodium chloride makes the water feel more pleasant to swim in bot is not necessarily good for the garden so all backwashing has to be done to waste and can not be reused unless you use the new Magnesium and potassium chloride system to make the chlorine, in that case the stuff is actually god for you and your garden.
A salt system for up to 25000 gallons of water is about $15-$1700.00.Ozone you can put in for Ozone & venturi system around $6-700.00. Salt is a stand alone sanitizing system and ozone must be used with a sanitizing system.
Remove the salt chlorinatorand stop adding salt, then revert to your prefered method. Ozone is becoming very popular now.
Both have a great presence in the marketplace, and both are provided by the largest players in the swimming pool industry--Hayward (Goldline) and (Jandy) Pentair. There are others as well like Resilience, Auto-Pilot, Prozone Combo Salt/ Ozone, others. Some use higher levels of salt which has been causing corrosion and also metal bonding/fusion. What I would recommend is if you purchase any salt system, also purchase an Ozonator (preferably a VUV Very Ultra Violet, not a Corona Discharge System). The Ozone does much of the work that the chlorine normally does. By using ozone, you reduce the amount of chlorine required, and most often you can turn the Jandy or Goldline outputs much lower prolonging their life cycle.
Ozone is the best choice for an indoor pool. You will still have to have a very small amount of residual chlorine to supplement the ozone system.
Most localities would classify a Condo Pool as "Semi-Public", so a Salt System would most likely be approved. Your local Health Act or Bylaws would say for sure. In Alberta, Canada a "Public" or "Semi-Public" Pool MUST use "Chlorine" as the Primary Source of Disinfection. Salt Systems use dissolved SALT ( or Sodium Chloride), so they would be classified as a safer form of Chlorine disinfection, since there are no Chlorine Bottles to leak. If you want a backup Germ Killer, you could add UV Bulbs, Ozone or Bromine to your Pool, as long as the Chlorine system (Salt) was still the Primary source of disinfection.
Dude you crazy people you cannot compare the metric system to the...um... other...um...system...he he.....ok...so, bye(:
Please -rewrite this confusing mess so we can understand
keep it full of salt,
Of the two I would recommend the Polaris system. Don't go for gadgets and feature, go for a simple reliable unit. Polaris will use more dependable, attainable parts. Up to a short time ago I would have agreed with you completely. However I installed a new maganblu salt water system for my pool and this puts every thing I have seen before to shame different kind of salt and different filter media in the sand filter. A: You still have to add chlorine some to the water to sanitize the water. To rely wholy upon the other systems is not wise. Another Answer The UltraPure Ozone Generator is not a stand alone system. You will still require a 0.5 to 1ppm Chlorine or Bromine residual. The UltraPure Ozone Generator will handle the bulk of the oxidation work (60-80%) that the Chlorine would normally be required to handle, leaving the Chlorine available to handle the sanitation, not oxidation.
I think you need water in your system and salt in your system but no salt water..................I think
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.
