Salt Water Pool - FAQ's
Salt water pools are steadily growing in popularity each year. These owner-friendly home enhancements have made pool upkeep easier and much less time consuming. However, salt water pools still enjoy the safe and sanitary benefits of pure chlorine. With electrolysis, the natural chlorine in the salt is released and works quickly to destroy germs and algae. This means that no store-bought chlorine needs to be added to the pool. Salt water pools contain only a teaspoon of salt per gallon, about one-twelfth that of seawater. As a result, the water in a salt water pool does not taste or feel salty.
One of the reasons most often cited for the surge in the sale of salt water pool systems is that most swimmers report that they no longer experience the eye irritation common with standard chlorine pools. The action of a chlorine generator actually removes the compounds that cause chlorine odors and eye irritation and do away with the need for strong chemicals like shock and algaecide.

A salt chlorine generator will keep your pool water clean by converting the salt to chlorine. This process is achieved through electrolysis and causes the salt to separate into sodium and chloride which creates hypochlorous acid that keeps your pool clean.
