How does the AutoChlor saltwater chlorinator work?
A small amount of natural salt is dissolved into the pool water. The chlorinator’s electrolytic cell is plumbed directly in-line with the pool equipment, typically after the heater. The power control unit is wired to the pool timer so it sanitises the water when the pump is running. As the water flows through the electrolytic cell, electrolysis separates the salt water into its basic components, sodium and chloride. Pure chlorine gas is produced by this process and goes to work in the pool to oxidize bacteria and sanitise the pool water. Following this process the chloride and sodium re-bond and become natural salt again. Click on a link to read more about Salt water chlorination and it’s benefits.
