Saltwater Chlorinators

How Much Am I Really Saving?

We get asked this all the time, how much is a saltwater generator really saving? Hearing that you can save as much as 40% or more with a salt pool is great and all, but sometimes it helps to look at real numbers!

Let’s take a look at the RJ45 salt chlorinator. It has the potential to produce as much as 1200 pounds of chlorine over its lifespan. If you purchased the complete system for $1399, compare that to the equivalent 1200 pounds worth of chlorine tablets, it would be $3600 if you got them cheaply on sale! That's huge savings (about 60% in that case).

After a number of years go by, the salt cell in your system does get used up while producing chlorine. At full price, a replacement salt cell for the RJ45 is $539, which typically means another 1200 pounds of chlorine at even greater savings.
