Pool Chlorinators

Salt Chlorinators

Salt Chlorinators are the most popular means of chlorination. A saltwater swimming pool isn't any better than a chlorine pool because it is still a chlorine swimming pool, but chlorine is produced on-site.

The main advantage of Salt Chlorinators means no more regular trips to the pool shop to collect chlorine. As salt is not lost, making chlorine, you will not need to pick up salt regularly either. Salt does need to be replaced when the pool is diluted, so expect to add salt a few times throughout the year. The frequency will depend upon rainfall.

Salt Chlorinators can also use mineral blends to create chlorine. Minerals are usually magnesium-based, which produces softer water that many people find desirable.

Some of the more modern salt chlorinators now have an automatic acid feeder and the ability to measure chlorine, so manual adjustment is not required. The popularity of salt chlorinators is their simplicity.

Chemical Dosing Systems

Chemical feeds draw chemicals out of drums and dose them automatically into the pool.

There are 2 main types of dosers - 

Semi-Automatic

Semi-Automatic Chemical Doses do either acid or chlorine, and they do not have probes to read the water chemistry.  It means they rely on the user testing the pool and making adjustments to the chlorinator settings. The Astral RolaChem RC1 falls within this category.

Automatic Chemical Dosers

Fully automatic chlorinators include the Rolachem RC9 and Chemigem D10. These Chlorinators have probes and read the water chemistry. The chlorinator is attached to two drums, one chlorine and one acid. The unit will feed from these drums and correct the chemistry automatically.  These types of units are mandatory for commercial pools but also popular in residential pools.

Fresh Water Chlorinators

Freshwater pools are now proving popular. These systems produce minimal chlorine through electrolysis while passing through the treatment cell. These systems leave you with extremely clean water.

The Enviroswim freshwater pool chlorinator uses a powerful combination of silver and copper electrodes, ionization, and ultrasonics to remove the "nasties" from the swimming pool.  This type of system leaves you with clean and pure water.   The Enviroswim system's initial outlay is greater than salt and chlorine pool chlorinators but leaves you with a highly desirable pool feel. Please Contact us to discuss if the Enviroswim system meets your expectations.
