Advantages of salt water pools

Salt water with a chlorine generator generally results in smoother feeling water and smoother skin on exiting, like soft-water bathing. You also do not see or feel residual chlorine when the water dries.

Now, Crystal Clear, Safe Water is Automatic
Electrolytic chlorine generation is the easiest, most effective and convenient way to keep
pool water sparkling clean. The IntelliChlor® salt chlorine generator uses common table salt
to produce all the chlorine your pool needs, right in your pool—safely, effectively and automatically.
• Same sanitation performance as manual chlorine addition without the drawbacks.
• No need to buy, transport and store expensive chlorine compounds.
• No more odor, stinging eyes, irritated skin and bleached-out swimsuits.
A New Standard in Chlorine Generator Technology
IntelliChlor takes electrolytic chlorine generation to a higher level of convenience,
reliability and safety. But to understand why the IntelliChlor generator is better, it helps
to first understand how it works.
Table salt (sodium chloride) is added to the pool water…less than a teaspoon of salt per
gallon of pool water is all that’s required. As the dissolved salt flows through the generator
cell, it is electrolytically converted to pure chlorine, which is then distributed throughout
the pool, sanitizing the water, keeping it fresh, clear and safe.
Unlike conventional chlorine additives that must be constantly replenished, the salt is
recycled continuously, day after day, to further reduce pool maintenance requirements.
The generator even keeps itself clean with an automatic reverse
cycling feature that prevents scale
build-up for longer cell life.
