About Salt: Why are salt levels so important

What is an industrial salt chlorinator? An Industrial Salt Chlorinator is a Sodium Hypochlorite Generating Plant that manufactures chlorine at precise dosing, custom-designed for specific demand. The units are manufactured and installed by us and are designed to cleverly convert salt into chlorine and then back to salt on a continuous basis.
How does a salt chlorinator work? When a solution of salt is exposed to an electrical charge the chlorine is released from the salt molecule and becomes available to kill algae and bacteria in the water - much needed for pool sanitization.
Our units all contain electrodes: anode (positive) plates and cathode (negative) plates. It is an electrical current that passes from the anode to the cathode that breaks down the salt in solution to form active chlorine.
But why is salt content so important? Salt is the raw material allowing electrolysis to realize its objective. Our units are industrial salt chlorinators and operate with salt. Only specific coarse salt is to be used in conjunction with our units. Salt levels are to be maintained at .7% for our unique units to ensure optimum chlorinator efficiency and lifespan.
Salt Levels: It is of utmost importance to maintain salt levels at the required levels as indicated in the Operations Manual and Maintenance procedure. Low salt levels will result in the premature depletion of the precious titanium coated plates, low chlorine levels, and poor disinfection and algae control.
How do I calculate the salt levels of my pool? This can be done with a salt meter or by using pool test strips obtained from any pool shop.
To calculate the initial or start up amount of salt required, use the following formula:
Formula: Volume of pool x 7 ÷ 50
Does salt damage pool equipment? No. Salt does not damage pool equipment, nor the environment. Only 0.7% of salt is required.
Why use a salt chlorinator? It automatically supplies a constant exact amount of chlorine, eliminating hours of spending on swimming pool maintenance and it saves you bucks on monthly pool chemicals. Now you can eradicate the need to purchase, store and manually dose with pool chemicals.
What product guarantee can Aquarius Chlorination offer? Under normal conditions of operation the precious metal coated Titanium chlorinator pates will last for a minimum of one year. Other components are subject to supplier’s guarantees.
Is there maintenance involved? Our units are self-cleaning and there is a very minimum of maintenance required, but is dependent upon regular maintenance checks. Please review our Operations Manual & Maintenance Schedule. We insist on maintaining our units and offer monthly or bi-monthly service visits in order to ensure round the clock sparkling clear pools.
How long do the units last on average? Provided that proper care, operation and regular maintenance is carried out, our units will last indefinitely. We have satisfied clients whose units have exceeded seven years with a plate replacement only once done. The plates are the only items that will need to be replaced once they are depleted. Depletion of the plates is eliminated if proper care is taken. See guarantee above.
What are the approximate monthly running costs? Estimated monthly running costs (within RSA) for a typical 300 gram per hour industrial salt chlorinator (figures below are estimated as at 2009):
Electricity = R 281.23
Salt = R354.00
Acid = R144.00
Cell amortized = R212.00
TOTAL = R991.23
