Many are turning to the ever popular “Salt Water Pool” option in hopes that it will be less expensive, require less maintenance, and require less hazardous pool chemical transportation, handling, exposure, and storage.
Lets find out today if the saltwater pool measures up. See today's presentation, video, links, and resources.

3. ALTERNATIVE POOL SYSTEMS
• There are many alternatives to today’s standard chlorinated
pools giving consumers more choices than ever when it comes
to creating the perfect swimming experience.
4. SALT WATER POOL
• Many are turning to the ever popular “Salt Water Pool”
option in hopes that it will be less expensive, require less
maintenance, and require less hazardous pool chemical
transportation, exposure, and storage issues.
5. IS IT THE BEST SWIM OF YOUR LIFE?
• Today we will tackle the
question “What is a Salt
Water Pool?”
• We will dispel some of the
myths, and shed some light
on this popular pool
equipment technology and
see whether it is the perfect
choice for the best swim of
your life.
6. ABOUT POOL CHLORINE
• Salt water pools are simply a pool
system that uses “salt in the pool
water” to generate your own pool
chlorine.
• Rather than adding commercially
bought chlorine to the pool manually
with liquid or chlorinator tablets, a
chlorine generator manufactures your
pool chlorine from salt and water.
7. COMMERCIAL CHLORINE
• Commercial pool chlorine is not a pure product - in fact, it
when you pour a gallon of commercial chlorine into your
pool as much as 90% of it is other chemical inert
ingredients making it an especially noxious and irritating
chemical cocktail.
8. COMMERCIAL CHLORINE
• Every year there are many accidents
reported resulting from miss
handling pool chemicals. (Read the
labels): Fires, skin burns, lung, and
respiratory damage, or even death
from misuse, or just plain old
accidents involving chlorine. For
environmental reasons, safety
reasons, and the comfort and quality
of the swim, many people are
exploring alternatives to standard
chlorination methods.
9. HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
• Salt in the pool systems employs chlorine generator technology
to manufacture chlorine products that differ significantly from
store bought pool chemicals. Water with an appropriate amount
of dissolved salt in it passes through an electronic salt
chlorinator cell and creates chlorine to chlorinate your pool.
10. COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS
• A common misconception is that
salt water pool systems are a
“chlorine free pool.” This is not the
case. A salt in the pool system is
a pool that makes its own chlorine
product for sanitization rather
than paying for commercial
chemicals.
11. A POPULAR POOL SYSTEM ADVANTAGE
• Your pool can be automatically sanitized without needing to fill
a chlorinator with tablets or handle dangerous liquid chlorine,
and when the system is properly dialed in and working properly
chlorine levels are more consistent, providing better sanitation,
and protection.
12. IS IT THE ULTIMATE POOL WATER
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM?
13. • There are many searching for that
“Magic Pool System” - minimal
maintenance, economical to use, user-
friendly, and one that ensures maximum
results, safety, and comfort.
14. PEOPLE DON’T WANT THE HASSLE
• Consumers and pool owners don’t want to handle large
amounts of chlorine or other dangerous pool chemicals. They
don’t want to measure and worry about fluctuating chlorine
levels, pH problems, etc. They don’t want to swim in water that
irritates their skin, burns eyes, fades fabrics, and that feels and
smells like a chemical bath.
15. THE TRUTH IS…
• The truth is even with alternative pool
treatment systems water monitoring
and balance is still critical, pH levels
are just as important as with any
standard chlorinated pool. In fact, salt
water systems that require you to
dump hundreds of pounds of salt into
your swimming pool create a set of
problems all their own to contend
with. Make sure you are properly
informed. See our article “Salt Water
16. SOME INITIAL DRAWBACKS…
• 1. Some initial drawbacks to this popular alternative pool
system are the fact that hundreds of pounds of salt needs to be
added to the pool water to achieve a concentration capable of
chlorinating the pool.
(This ratio is not efficient for chlorine production).
17. STANDARD SALT IN THE POOL SYSTEMS ARE
INEFFICIENT WHEN IT COMES TO OPTIMAL
CHLORINE PRODUCTION.
18. • Figure 50lbs of salt for every 1,200 gals of pool water for a salt
in the pool system!
• Salt by nature is a corrosive substance, can leave residues,
discolor, damage, and kill landscaping features, stone work,
tile, etc.
• Check out The Chlorine Genie (www.chlorinegenie.com) learn
how to get the benefits of a salt-water pool without salting
your pool.
19. FURTHER INEFFICIENCY…
• 2. Salt water swimming pools employ a controller to regulate
the power going to the chlorinator cell and thereby control the
chlorine production for the pool. Salty water must continually
flow through the cell for the process to work correctly…
20. NOT A $$$ SAVING FEATURE…
• This necessitates continuous running of the pump, filter, and
pool equipment during chlorine production cycles (figure 8am
to 6pm daily in the summer swim season sometimes much
longer). It is important to realize increased pump and filtering
times put added stress on pool equipment and require extra
electricity to maintain your pool. This is not a money saving
feature.
21. CELL MAINTENANCE…
• 3. Cell maintenance and
cleaning can also be
problematic and costly.
Mineral buildup on the cell
electrodes is a common
problem that affects all salt
chlorinator pool systems.
22. CELL CLEANING…
• Many salt water chlorinator systems utilize a self-cleaning
feature that reverses the polarity of the voltage through the cell
to clean mineral buildup from the electrodes. This may remove
the scale from the electrode but then deposits it in your pool.
23. HIDDEN COSTS…
• 4. Other salt chlorinators
require removal and cleaning
each season and may require
frequent replacement when
not properly serviced. This
can be a chore and lead to
costly maintenance and cell
replacement costs.
24. HIDDEN DANGER
• With hundreds of pounds of salt in your pool your pool water
now conducts electricity much better than fresh water. Stray
electrical currents create electrolysis and can damage all metal
parts of your pool equipment. Higher currents can cause injury
or even death. Please see “Father dies after jumping in pool
trying to save 9-year-old daughter” by searching the internet
or by visiting our website.
25. SALTED POOL WATER
• In fact using “salted pool water” to create chlorine is the least
efficient and clean method to create your own pool chlorine.

26. MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS…
• At best these methods are inefficient and less than optimal
when it comes to keeping your pool protected, economical, and
easy to use. See our site to get the whole story about: Salt
