Salt chlorination is a method by which the disinfectant is generated directly from the water to be treated through an electrolysis process.
This technique avoids the use of chemical products and is specially adapted to the treatment of swimming pools. Salt chlorination offers numerous advantages over conventional disinfection systems: quality of the water obtained, cost of treatment, impact on health and ease of use.
Benefits
Effective
The disinfecting action of chlorine is much more effective than in a traditional system. Chlorine is continuously generated in the cell in gaseous form, favoring the formation of hypochlorous acid whose oxidation power is much greater than that of commercial chlorine (sodium or calcium hypochlorite).
Health
The existence of a small concentration of salt in the pool water constitutes a natural antiseptic that hinders the formation of bacteria and algae, acting gently on the bather’s skin.
This low concentration of salt, close to that of the tear of the eye, does not produce any eye or dermatological irritation and acts, on the contrary, as a natural antiseptic on the skin of bathers.
Comfort
The small salt concentration provides a special feeling of comfort by acting as an isotonic solution.
The skin does not swell or dehydrate, the hair does not dry out and the eyes can be opened in the water without discomfort or irritation.
The need to shower immediately after bathing disappears and there is no chlorine smell on the skin. In addition, the iodine content of the salt accelerates the tan.
Safe
Chlorine is produced and dissolved in the water in an automated way. The handling and storage of hazardous chemicals disappears thus eliminating the risk of fire or explosion. The corrosive atmosphere and the bad odors of the purification rooms of the swimming pools are also avoided by improving the working conditions and the conservation of the equipment.
Ecological
Chlorine is generated through a renewable process at the end of which it returns to its initial state in the form of salt. No external chemical species are added to the water to be treated and no preservatives are used. The local production of chlorine avoids CO2 emissions and the energy consumption generated by its transport. Accumulation of concentrated chemicals and the risk of contamination by spillage are avoided.
Economical
The system allows a saving of 80% in maintenance and 100% in the purchase of chemical products that are not necessary. Once the equipment is amortized, the production cost is only 10% of the cost of a conventional chlorination system. Installation, even in large pools, is very simple and does not require civil works.
