What is salt chlorination?

Salt chlorination for pools is a disinfection system that naturally generates pure chlorine from salt dissolved in the water through an electrolysis process. This method virtually eliminates the need for additional chemical products.

Salt chlorination is an automatic, sustainable treatment that is safe for swimmers and environmentally friendly. Unlike traditional chlorine-based disinfection, salt chlorination keeps the water free from strong odors, reduces irritation, and significantly enhances the overall bathing experience.


How does a salt chlorinator work?

The operation of a saline chlorination system is simple and highly efficient.

Frequently Asked Questions
Salt Chlorination

Switch to a Salt Pool. It generates no hazardous waste or by-products. The salt and chlorine cycle is 100% renewable.

I already have a pool with a traditional chlorine disinfection system, can I switch to salt chlorination?

Yes! It’s super easy. We just need to install the salt chlorinator (electronic unit and cell) in the pool’s filter room or pump room. Find out how.

What type of salt and how much does a pool with salt chlorination need?

We can use any type of common salt in our pool with a salt chlorinator. It is true that the more refined and pure the salt, the fewer residues we will have, and the cleaner and clearer the water will be from the start. As for the amount of salt needed, 5 to 6 kg per m³ of water is most common.

How and when should I add salt to my pool with salt chlorination?

A pool with salt chlorination A needs an initial salt input of between 4 and 7 kilograms per cubic meter of water. Afterward, you will only need to add a certain amount of salt depending on the amount of water evaporated (and the addition of new water). In most cases, a small amount of salt added to the pool at the beginning of each season is sufficient.

Is the water in a salt chlorination pool the same as seawater?

No. Even though it is salt water, its salt concentration (between 4 and 6 grams per litre) is much lower than seawater. In fact, many people liken it to a tear from the human eye.

Is salt chlorination compatible with other chemicals such as flocculants or algaecides?

Yes, but we must bear in mind that, with salt chlorination, the contribution of other chemicals that the water needs for swimming pools is drastically reduced.
