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 Pool Problems” to learn more.

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.

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. Interested in a solution? See The Chlorine Genie: The most Advanced Pool Water Management System on the market.

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 Water Pool Problems before you buy any salt in the pool system.
