HOW SALT CHLORINE GENERATORS WORK: Part 2:

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE TECHNOLOGY:
There are two components to a salt chlorine generator: The control box and the salt cell. The salt cell is the electrolytic converter that installs on your system’s return plumbing line, after the pump, filter and heater. In other words; last in line before water returns to the pool. As pool-water passes through the salt cell, an electrical charge, generated by the control box, automatically converts the dissolved salt into fresh, natural chlorine. This electrical charge is extremely safe! The newly-chlorinated water is then dispersed evenly throughout the pool by the return jets, where it prevents algae and kills bacteria! After the chlorine has done its work keeping your pool sanitized, it is then transformed back into salt , and then the process stars all over again. The salt is never consumed-it simply cycles between salt and chlorine forever. The only time you need to add salt is due to splash-out, or if your pool overflows in a rainstorm, or when you backwash your filter.
Salt chlorine generators require a low concentration of salt (aka-sodium chloride/table salt)…approximately a teaspoon of salt per gallon of water. The correct level of salt is comparable to the human tear and as such, imparts no or little taste. The actual amount of chlorination required to properly sanitize a pool depends on the pool size in gallons, the bather load, rainfall, temperature, and the pool’s cleanliness.
