Salt Chlorinators - Introducing the Seal Salt Chlorinator
Did you know that in Australia over 90% of new swimming pool builds have salt chlorinators installed as standard? With that number of salt chlorinators being installed you have to wonder why that have not caught on a little more quicker this side of the hemisphere.
The are a number of factors maybe why salt chlorinators have not caught on, up until 2008 price has been an issue, also changing systems can sometimes seem more hassle than its worth, especially when tried and tested products like chlorine work perfectly well. Heating systems also need to be taken into account, as salt will corrode elements in a heating system that does not have a titanium element.
Some of these issues can now be addressed, firstly the price of a salt chlorinator is coming down dramatically, with a fully featured salt chlorinator such as our Seal Salt Chlorinator starting at under £600. This will be suitable for swimming pools upto 64,000 liters.
There is also a shift with regards to heating systems with pool owners now changing from oil, gas and electric to Heat Pumps. The new generation of Heat Pumps such as our Competition Heat Pump and Duratech Heat Pumps come with long warrenty and contain titanium elements.
Pool owners are changing their source of heating because of higher energy costs and because of enviromental issues. With the new generation swimming pool heating systems now containing titanium elements swimming pool owners can move to the salt chlorinators where a natural substance can be used to sanitise the pool rather than harsh products such as chlorine.
In 2008 h2ofun are launching a fully featured salt chlorinator, which comes from Australia. The Seal Salt Chlorinator has been developed in Australia for Australian conditions with cutting edge technology for a reliable and cost effective sanitising system. The Seal Salt Chlorinator has the highest quality electrodes and polymers and incorporates the latest nanotechnology. The salt chlorinator comes with 2 years warrenty and includes the following, manual and automatic settings, super chlorinator, low salt alarm, emergency low salt function, electrode alarm, water flow alarm, daylight saving alarm, 20 stop and start times.
So if you are thinking about using a salt chlorinator but need to know more here are some general information that might help.
What is a salt chlorinator? A salt chlorinator is an electronic devise that turns salt into chlorine. Salt is added to the water, the amount of salt needed is equivalent to approximately one ninth the strength of sea water. This mild salty water passes through an electronic cell and chlorine is produced. The chlorine will sanatize your pool, destroying the bacteria and algae before turning back to salt again. The salt will last for a long period of time although you will only need to add some additional salt where water has been lost through backwashing.
