A good option for most pools or spas, saltwater systems soften and purify your pool water by generating chlorine from pure salt. It’s kinder and gentler on your eyes, skin and hair, on your pool and swimming apparel, and on the environment—a softer experience all around. And no, it isn’t at all like gargling with salt or swimming in the ocean, but is barely noticeable.

The salt is added directly to the pool water. A “cell” in the system separates the chlorine from the salt to sanitize the water, after which the chlorine reverts back to salt. Since there is no need to add chlorine tablets or sticks to a chlorinator or skimmer basket, this cuts down on the purchase and storage of harsh chemicals around your home and further protects your pool’s filter, heater and skimmer. Over time, a salt system saves you money and time.

As with other purification systems, it’s also important to maintain proper pH—the acidity and alkalinity of your pool water. Did you know that keeping your pool water in balance can also lower your operating costs?
