What is a salt water chlorinator and how does it affect a pool?
A salt water chlorinator converts pool salt (which has been added to the pool water) by passing the water through a device installed in the plumbing line that converts the salt molecule into an iodine molecule to produce chlorine. (The amount of salt in the pool water is less than half the salt in a tear drop). This means that any time the pool pump is running the water is being chlorinated. The only testing or other water maintenance that needs to be done is to monitor the alkalinity and the pH of the water.
