HOW SALT SYSTEMS WORK
Chlorine, Without the Hassle
Salt systems (or salt chlorine generators) use a process called electrolysis to convert pool-grade salt into chlorine. The system continuously sanitizes your water—so you don’t have to add chlorine manually every week.
Benefits include:
-
Gentler on eyes, skin, and swimsuits
-
Lower long-term chemical costs
-
Consistent sanitation with fewer spikes or drops
-
Less odor and chemical handling
-
Smooth, silky-feeling water
