How it works

Salt chlorination of a pool works by using
salt electrolysis to disinfect the water; this
electrochemical process converts the salt present
in the water into a disinfectant (hypochlorite ions).
Once this process is complete, hypochlorite
turns back into salt after coming into contact with
organic material (bacteria, cells) or under the
effect of UV rays or other sources of light, starting
the cycle over again.
In order to maintain a good level of disinfectant in the water, the following guidelines
must be respected:
• A proper concentration of salt in the water: 3 g/l
• Adequate filtration time. As a reminder, a good estimate is:
• A good water balance with a pH between 7.0 and 7.8 (for more information see Taylor
watergram)
• Regular cleaning of your pool to remove any plant debris
• In case of frequent use, consider using the boost function.
WARNING - Salt water chlorination alone will not clear up green water
by itself. In the event of algae appearing (e.g. after a period of high
temperatures or frequent use), it may be necessary to supplement with
chlorine tablets. Do not put the chlorine tablets directly into the skimmer;
use a floating dispenser.

Operating limits

The filtration time should be long enough to suit your pool. As with any swimming pool, take care to
maintain a good chemical balance in the water, including pH, alkaline content and calcium levels.
The use of an electrolyzer requires maintaining good levels of salt and stabilizer to avoid
corrosion or scaling. Check your water at least once a week to check the values of the basic
parameters. For added safety, have the pool water tested by a professional at least twice a
season.
Your pool shop can not only supply you with the chemicals you will need, but can also advise
you on the procedures to follow to adjust the chemical properties of the water. Inform them
that you are using a salt-based chlorinator.
Temperature also has a major effect on the correct use of the chlorinator:
• A water temperature below 10°C will render the system inoperative (E2 alarm).
• Water temperatures above 32°C will reduce the effects of hypochlorite. If these high
temperatures persist, we recommend adding chlorine pebbles, not directly into the
skimmer but rather into a floating diffuser.
