A saltwater pool: what is it?

The joy of a private pool is being able to swim in clear and pristine water without having to constantly monitor the presence of disinfectant every three or four days. But is it possible? Salt electrolysis for family private pools is simple to use, environmentally friendly, and economical. It is the preferred and chosen automatic treatment for its effectiveness by more and more individuals. What is its role? Is it compatible with all pools? Why choose this treatment over another?

Salt electrolysis for your pool

Salt electrolysis for pools is an automatic treatment device that, under the effect of an electric current, allows the decomposition and chemical transformation of salt into chlorine.

What is the role of a saltwater pool electrolysis?

The salt chlorinator is an autonomous and automatic water treatment equipment. It produces the amount of disinfectant according to the pool's needs.
Connected to the pool's filtration pump, it transforms the salt present in the water into chlorine and caustic soda through electrolysis.
This chlorine, produced in gaseous form, is a powerful oxidant that destroys bacteria, algae, body residues, and plant residues. Its chlorine concentration is close to 100%, while that of "traditional" shock chlorine is around 55%, giving it formidable efficiency.
Unlike chlorine tablet treatment, salt electrolysis does not produce chloramine or stabilizer.

Salt electrolysis, for which pool?

Salt electrolysis is installed in the technical room during the construction or renovation of the pool.
It adapts to both buried, semi-buried, or above-ground pools, regardless of the water volume to be treated up to 150 mᶾ, regardless of the coating and filtration method. However, care must be taken to choose electrolysis based on the volume and type of pool.

What are the benefits of a saltwater pool electrolysis?

The water of a saltwater pool is particularly pleasant and soft for swimmers.
Automatic and autonomous, salt electrolysis also brings significant comfort to owners. Indeed, the traditional weekly or even bi-weekly pool treatment is no longer necessary. Since electrolysis does it continuously.
There is no need to monitor or fill the treatment product containers, as is the case with automatic chlorine, active oxygen, or bromine treatment.
Thanks to this treatment, there is no more handling or storage of chemical products.
The environment benefits from this, as salt electrolysis, a powerful natural disinfectant and algaecide, dispenses with all other complementary products such as anti-algae, shock treatments.

Salt electrolysis is an autonomous treatment increasingly favored by individuals. Its ease of use, effectiveness, limited environmental impact, and the quality of water it generates are attractive features.
