Looking for a gentler, simpler, and more economical solution to treat your pool water? Salt pool systems are gaining popularity among owners concerned about their comfort and water quality. But how does it really work, and what are its advantages over traditional chlorine treatment?
In this article, Piscines Geyser explains everything you need to know about salt chlorination systems , to help you make the best choice for your pool.
⚙️ How does a salt system for swimming pools work?
The salt system , also called a salt chlorinator , transforms the salt dissolved in the water into natural chlorine through an electrolysis process. This chlorine acts as a disinfectant, effectively eliminating bacteria, algae and impurities from the water.
Unlike chlorine tablets or liquid, the chlorine produced by an electrolyzer is continuous , automated and less aggressive for the skin, eyes and hair.
