What are Chlorine Generators?
Chlorine generators are electronic devises that assist in the automation of pool and spa water management. Chlorine generators use a small amount of salt (Sodium Chloride) dissolved in the water. Through a process called electrolysis, the generators separate the Chlorine from the Sodium and produce pure chlorine gas which is absorbed into the water as a sanitizing agent. The unused chlorine combines with the free sodium converting back into natural salt minimizing the need to add more salt to your pool or spa. Chlorine Generators have been around since the mid 1970’s primarily in Australia and are now their use is quickly spreading across the United States, Canada and Europe.
