How does chlorine turn into a salt?
Chlorine gas reacts with sodium metal to form sodium chloride (table salt) through a chemical reaction. The sodium donates an electron to the chlorine, forming an ionic bond between the two elements to create salt.
What element is combined with chlorine in common salt?
Common salt, or table salt is sodium chloride, so you would combine sodium with chlorine.
Why does a salt water pool smell like chlorine?
A salt water pool does not actually smell like chlorine. The smell comes from chloramines, which are compounds produced when chlorine combines with contaminants in the water. Salt water pools use a chlorine generator to create chlorine from salt, but should have lower levels of chloramines compared to traditional chlorine pools.
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 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.
How does chlorine turn into a salt?

What do you do if there is too much chlorine in your pool?
Just wait it out the chlorine will dissipate after a couple of days. if you have a salt water pool turn the chlorine generator down or run the filter less often if possible.
What halogen is in table salt?
Chlorine
Salt water pool systems vs chlorine which is better?
A salt water pool is a chlorine pool. The difference is that in a normal fresh water pool you have to add the chlorine as it is required. In the case of the salt water pool salt is added to the pool which is int urn run through a chlorine generator that is installed on the pipe leading from the filter to the pool. The chlorine generator electronically separates chlorine gas out of the salt water which then dissolves into the water automatically maintaining chlorine levels. The adidion of salt to the water makes it more pleasant to swim in and you are spared having to handle and store chlorine at home. but the problem is you are still swimming in Chlorine and now you are also swimming in sodium.
How do you convert a chlorine pool to a salt water pool?
Converting to a salt water pool requires the installation of a chlorine generator, and the salt for the pool water. Salt water pool are in fact chlorine pools the difference lays in the fact that chlorine is produced by running salt water through electrodes that in turn releases chlorine from the salt which is usually Sodium chloride (common salt) It may pay to also look at A new more environmentally friendly and healthier alternative By looking at Magnesium and potassium chloride salts.
What better salt system or chlorine?
A salt system makes chlorine, that's what its there for.
How salt is different from chlorine?
Ordinary salt is a compound formed from sodium and chlorine.
How do you turn a saltwater pool to a chlorine pool?
Stop adding salt to the pool and use tablets and shock when needed.
What is the recommended hardness range for salt pools?
Same as Chlorinated pools: 80-120 ppm. A salt pool is the same as a non- salt pool. Only difference is the chlorine is made in the system thru automation/mechanically. With the addition of swimming pool salt to the water it in turn goes thru the device and returns to the pool as chlorine. Otherwise you add the chlorine manually. k
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
What element is combined with chlorine in common salt?
Common salt, or table salt is sodium chloride, so you would combine sodium with chlorine.
Can I Mix salt in a chlorine pool?
Yes, you can add salt to a chlorine pool to create a saltwater pool system. This salt is converted into chlorine through the process of electrolysis, providing a more natural and softer water experience compared to traditional chlorine pools. Be sure to follow manufacturer instructions for the appropriate salt levels and use a saltwater generator to convert the salt into chlorine.
