Eliminate algae and green water in your pool with salt chlorination

Enjoying the pool with our loved ones is a luxury we all like to have in summer. That is, if we make sure the water is in proper condition, because nobody wants to swim in a pool full of algae that doesn’t meet hygiene and health standards. At Innowater, we show you how to eliminate green water in your installation using salt electrolysis.

If the water changes color, becomes cloudy, or the walls are slippery, algae is growing in your pool. Its origin can be in the water treatment system or the installation’s filters, or due to inadequate maintenance or excessive heat in the pool. At the first sign of algae, it is advisable to stop swimming, as algae generate an increase in bacteria, posing a serious risk to our health.

If you want to keep your pool water in perfect condition, opt for salt chlorination and you won’t have any problems. To ensure the disinfectant action of your chlorinator, you should consider the following aspects:

• An adequate salt concentration: Pools with salt electrolysis must have the optimal salt concentration to treat the water and prevent algae growth. If the device indicates that it needs more, due to evaporation or filter backwashing, you should add it to the water as soon as possible.
• Pool pH review: pH is one of the indicators that can favor algae formation if values are above 7.6. Therefore, it is advisable to install your chlorinator together with a pH regulation and dosing system.
