in your pool at the preset level you desire.
Chlorinators designed for commercial
use can last for 10 years or more when
properly maintained and that can lead
to lower lifecycle costs when compared
with the replacement costs for units
that are not designed for heavy-duty
commercial use. Conversely, residential
units that are sold to commercial facilities at lower costs don't work properly
and seldom last very long.
To avoid the cost and safety issues of
buying, storing and handling chlorine
without having to add or maintain salt
in the pool, batch chlorine generators
are an alternative to salt chlorinators.
They produce pH-neutral liquid chlorine (bleach) from salt stored in a feeder
in the pump room. These systems do
not require salt in the pool and eliminate the need to add salt and test salt
levels. Sized according to pool capacity,
they work really well if a pool has heavy
use or dilution, or if you simply don't
want a salt pool but still want the benefits of producing chlorine on-site.
Skid-mounted systems use pool water, which eliminates the need to connect them to freshwater sources. Once
the system is installed, owners have the
ability to operate their pools as a traditional bleach or salt pool with the only
cost being for salt and electricity. In other words, no risk of storing, handling or
spilling chlorine.
From an operating-cost perspective,
salt is less expensive than chlorine
and not subject to the same price volatility or special handling and storage
needs. Saline-based sanitization systems are appealing as an eco-friendlier option and can make your pool a
lifestyle asset.
Whichever saline-based sanitization
system you choose to replace a chlorine-based system, you will improve safety, water quality and cost-efficiency.
