How is salt used to sanitize pool water?
Well lets look at Sodium Chloride and Chlorine. If you combine the two, you come up with your everyday table salt and with a jolt of electric current (electrolysis) the two will separate and boom, you have instant chlorine in your pool. As the Chlorine reacts with bacteria in the pool it will convert back to sodium chloride and begin the process all over again. Easy and simple and very little work on your part. The system recycles itself, which means no need for liquid chlorines in your pool.
