How Do Salt Chlorine Generators Work?
Salt is a natural element found in the earth, in our body and in our homes. It is used to season and preserve our food, rinse out contact lenses and soften our drinking water. Salt is a very economical commodity. When the ions in salt are passed over specially coated blades and induced with a low voltage electrical charge it is converted into chlorine. It is the same process that is used to convert seawater into laundry bleach. When this process is incorporated into your swimming pool you have your very own “chlorine generator”. Wayne’s Solar currently endorses two different manufacturers of salt water systems, Goldline Controls and AutoPilot Systems.
