How does a Salt Generator compare to a Chlorine Feeder?
Salt Generators are softer on your skin, easier to maintain, has no toxic chemicals to store, there is no chlorine smell, and it saves you money over time but it is more costly to install. A chlorine feeder has a lower cost to install but is harder on your skin, smells, has a lot of maintenance, and there are toxic chemicals to store. Both systems will maintain excellent water chemistry. Although chlorine water care systems continue to be the most popular form of pool sanitation, salt generators are quickly becoming a very popular, efficient alternative. With salt generators there is no need to add sanitizer on a daily basis. Simply set the dosage level; whereas a chlorine system will require adding chlorine on a daily basis or in the case of a floater adding chlorine tablets every few days and then add shock weekly. Salt generators will shock the pool when needed without ever handling any chlorine.
