What is a salt water swimming pool?
The best pool builders in Charlotte can install and maintain a salt
water swimming pool system as part of your pool renovation. A salt water swimming pool uses salt in
the water to generate chlorine. The chlorine generator is a very simple and
safe system that consists of a control unit and a salt cell. The control unit
regulates power to the salt cell. Chlorine is produced whenever power is applied
to the cell. Duration and amount of power is determined by the operation of a control
knob on the unit. Through the process of electrolysis, water passes through the
salt cell creating liquid chlorine. The benefits of installing a salt water
pool system is the elimination of noxious chlorine smell, clearer eyes for
swimmers, softer skin with less chlorine contamination, and no more need to
handle or store chlorine.
Maintaining your salt water pool
Most pool companies recommend that the salt concentration be kept between
3000 to 4000ppm to ensure an adequate amount of salt for the cell to produce
the proper level of chlorine. Salt test strips and kits are normally purchased
at your pool supply store or can be offered by your pool maintenance contractor.
Most units contain a self cleaning feature that cleans off scale buildup on the
cell plates. If you should select a model that does not have the self cleaning
feature, at the end of the season, the cell should be cleaned with a mild
dilution of muriatic acid.
