The Future is in Salt Water...

Salt-water sanitation is the natural way to keep your swimming pool water sparkling clear and fresh. Many people are turning to this natural way to keep a swimming pool clean and healthy, rather than continuing to use harmful chemical products in their home pools.

Australia is at the forefront of this technology, where it has been in used for 30 years and where 90% of new swimming pools use salt-water chlorination system. With reports, such as published on the BBC website, increasingly showing the harmful effect of Chlorine (risk of asthma in children, burning sensations in the eyes and on skin), it is no wonder that more and more people turn to salt-water system for their pool.

It is not only healthier but also economical: with a good salt-water chlorination system, there is no need for costly chemicals. The money saved from not using harmful and expensive chemicals will pay for the unit over 2-3 years, whilst the health benefits are immediate and priceless.

Benefits:

• No more expensive packaged chlorine, shock treatments or algaecides

• No more exposure to chlorine powders, liquid spills, dangerous storage, etc.

• Crystal clear water, containing very low levels of natural salt, for a greater look and feeling

• No more red eyes, green hair, dry irritated skin or smell of chlorine

• Designed for easy inspection and cleaning, the system is easy to operate

• The SEAL salt water chlorinator features a self cleaning titanium electrode in a transparent cell, microprocessor control and programmable self cleaning.

Although there are many benefits, care must be taken to check the compatibility of your pool heating equipment, as salt is corrosive. Many heater and heat pump manufacturers have seen the rising popularity of saltwater chlorination and now offer a titanium option for this requirement.

How a salt water chlorinator works

The process requires the pool or spa to have a salt concentration of between 3,000 and 6,000 ppm. This is still classified as fresh water (by comparison sea water contains 20,000 ppm of salt)

As the pool water passes between the chlorinator's plates, the electrolysis takes place; The SEAL chlorinator converts the chlorine in the salt (Sodium Chloride) into chlorine gas. This production of chlorine gas is released in a safe and controlled way.
