Salt Water Chlorinators

Saltwater Chlorinators work by using a process that includes electrolysis. The electrolysis breaks down the salt and the saltwater chlorinator then releases chlorine into the water. This means that the water is not chlorine free because it uses a chlorine generator in place of the direct addition of chlorine. To chlorinate the water quickly the saltwater chlorinator and the pump should be run for 24 hours. The chlorinator cell is made up of parallel plates with a coating of titanium, ruthenium and iridium and requires regular maintenance and cleaning as the build up of calcium can reduce the cells overall effectiveness.
