Swimming pool salt as an alternative to chlorine

Why use saline electrolysis in your swimming pool?

Appearances can be deceptive. Water that looks immaculately pure and clear is not necessarily one hundred percent clean. It could still contain bacteria. You will need to disinfect the water to stymie algae and bacteria and filter the swimming pool water. Swimming pool salt sees you preserve the quality of the water in two ways:

1. Electrolysis: electrolysis is a sound alternative to chlorine. The salt electrolysis device converts salt (NaCl) into chlorine and lye. The benefit of this method is you no longer need chlorine, which automatically means that the characteristic chlorine odour in and around the swimming pool goes away. Moreover, the chlorine created acts to drive down the pH value, which renders resorting to acid virtually superfluous.
    
2. Optimising the salt content: add extra salt to the swimming pool water to keep the water clear, optimise the salt content and inhibit algae growth.

The benefits of swimming pool salt

Using swimming pool salt instead of chlorine delivers greater swimming comfort:

• Swimming pool salt does not give off an unpleasant odour as chlorine does.
• It is much less harsh on hair and skin.
• It does not cause your eyes to sting.
• It not only makes water clear, but soft as well.

Other than that, swimming pool salt does the exact same thing as chlorine in every other sense: it makes sure the water inside your swimming pool is free from bacteria and algae.
