Salt Chlorinators

It is an electrical system for disinfecting water, which works with the salt that is previously deposited in the water in the pool.

How does a pool salt chlorinator work?

The pool water (with salt) passes through the salt chlorinator and converts the Salt into Sodium Hypochlorite (Chlorine).

It is important that when choosing one, we take into account choosing the appropriate one according to the m3 of our pool, so that the production is adequate. If one with a lower capacity is installed, it will not have enough power to maintain stable levels of chlorine in the pool.

In every pool it is important to control the levels of chlorine and pH. By having the salt chlorinator, we have the chlorine part covered, later we will talk about the maintenance of a chlorinator, however...

How do I control the pH of my pool?

To maintain adequate pH levels, we can continue to perform the analysis manually, however there is the option of adding a pH dosing pump.

Salt Chlorinator Kit PH Dosing Pump:

By purchasing the complete kit, the Salt Chlorinator will maintain the correct chlorine levels, and the dosing pump will maintain the PH levels, both with the same common control unit, they will report the parameters or levels of Chlorine and PH in the pool.

Our recommendation is to install the complete KIT. Why is this recommended?

The pH dosing pump completes the Salt Chlorinator.

By having a more regular pH, it helps reduce lime formation in the electrodes of the Salt Chlorinator cell, which reduces its maintenance and extends its life.

Let's talk now about...

Salt for the pool:

Correct SALT levels in a pool:

It is advisable that the optimal SALT levels in the pool are between: 4 and 7 grams/litre.

This corresponds to 4/5 kg of SALT for each m3 of water.

How to calculate the m3 of a pool?

In the case of a square or rectangular pool: We multiply the "Length x Width x Average Depth" = m3 of water in your pool.

How do I calculate the average depth?

We take the two measurements of the ends of the pool, the part that is deeper and the part that is shallower, and divide by 2.

For example, a pool that measures 8m long and 4m wide, and has a depth of 1.5m at the bottom and 2m at the deepest part: 8 x 4 x (1.5 2/2=1.75) = 56m3

If the pool slope does not follow a straight line from one side of the pool to the other, it will have a variable depth. To make more precise calculations, the pool can be divided into several sections according to depth, calculate the depth separately by section and then add it up.

In the case of an oval pool: Maximum length x maximum width x average depth x 0.89 = m3 of water.

You will find simple analysis kits on the market or in our store to find out the salt levels in your pool.

How do you know if the amount of salt in your pool is correct?

The Salt must be analyzed, just as we analyze the Chlorine and PH of a pool, as you can see in the photograph, there are test strips which are submerged in water for a few seconds, and give us some parameters to know if they are at the correct salt levels.

It would be appropriate to perform a chlorine and pH analysis once a week (preferably several times in summer), and every 2 weeks (for a pool without water losses) check the salt.

If we do not check the salt, we can make erroneous predictions, for example: We may find that the chlorine in the pool is low when performing a manual analysis, and think that the Chlorinator is not working correctly, however, it may be an insufficient amount of salt in the pool, especially in summer with evaporation due to heat.
