Salt water chlorinators are becoming more and more popular in the United States and Canada. They work by running a very low electric current in the water . This turns the sodium chloride (salt) into free sodium and pure chlorine.The chlorine provides the needed sanitation to the pool – just as the granular chlorine or spa chemicals do – but in this case it is created right where and when it is needed.

Chlorine Generators recycle Salt

The electrolytic cells split ordinary salt into chlorine and sodium. When the chlorine is used, it reverts back to salt and the process begins all over again. Since little salt is used in the process of chlorinating the spa, you don’t have to add salt very often.

And, no more trips to the pool store for spa chemicals! Just pick up some additional salt and baking soda when you visit the grocery store!
