I love salt water pools however a salt water pool is still a chlorine pool that is why the salt is added to the water. The best known material for salt water pools Is sodium chloride, this is dissolved in the water and the water is then run through electronic element that separates chlorine out of the salt into the water. a less environmentally harmful system that uses Magnesium chloride and potassium chloride is now also becoming available.
What else can I help you with?
How does the saltwater filter produce chlorine?
A saltwater filter uses a process called electrolysis to convert salt into chlorine gas. When the saltwater passes through the filter cell, an electrical current is applied, causing the salt to break down into its chemical components, including chlorine. This chlorine then disinfects the pool water.
How do you keep chlorine in saltwater pool?
Once you have a chlorine reading, the use of Cyanuric Acid will help keep the chlorine from letting sunlight dissipate it. Keep in mind that many induced salywater pools manufacture chlorine from electroylsis of the salt water.
What do you do if chlorine in saltwater pool is high?
If the chlorine levels in your saltwater pool are high, you should first stop adding chlorine to the pool. Allow the chlorine levels to naturally decrease over time due to sunlight exposure and pool usage. You can also dilute the pool water by adding fresh water to help reduce the chlorine concentration. Regularly test the water to monitor the chlorine levels until they fall within the recommended range.
How can you make your pool saline and not chlorine?
To make your pool saline and not chlorine, you would install a saltwater chlorinator system. This system uses salt to produce chlorine through the process of electrolysis, eliminating the need to manually add chlorine to the pool. Saltwater pools are often preferred for their milder chlorine levels and potential cost savings in the long run.
How is chlorine extracted from the sea?
Chlorine is extracted from seawater using a process called electrolysis, where an electric current is passed through the saltwater to split it into its components. Chlorine is collected at the anode during this process.
Is a saltwater system better or worse than chlorine to control algae growth?
better!
Is the chlorine produced in saltwater pool any different from a health or environmental perspective than chlorine used in chlorine pool?
salt water pools don't use chlorine salts, they are bromine salts. So yes, saltwater pool are better for you.
Is a saltwater pool better than a cholinated pool?
They are one and the same. THEY BOTH ARE CHLORINE POOLS!!!

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.
How do you keep chlorine in saltwater pool?

Why does saltwater pools need chlorine?
All pools need something to help keep it clean and safe. Chlorine has long been the sanitizer of choice. Saltwater is no different, as the charged cell breaks down Salt in the water into Chlorine.
Do boats float better on saltwater or freshwater?
Saltwater
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.
Is the saltwater pool have clear water?
Yes it does just like a chlorine pool.
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.
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.
