ControlOMatic ChlorMaker salt chlorine generators are specifically designed to retrofit any brand of hot tub or spa up to 2000 gallons.
Sometimes, using a full-size saltwater pool system isn't an option for many spas, so the spa-style ChlorMaker chlorine generator is designed to be a very easy to install and does not interfere with the current plumbing or electronics: simply add salt, place in the water, and turn it on. The control unit plugs into a standard 110v GFCI outlet and attaches to the spa's skirt in just minutes.
The ChlorMaker is plug-and-play!
However, if you're looking for a concealed installation, the ChlorMaker Inline option allows the system to be connected to your existing pump/filter system and remain out of sight. Important: inline operation should be used with continuous pump operation or where power can be coordinated to turn pump and salt system on and off together.
The Chlormaker can also be utilized as a hot tub and spa saltwater bromine generator, for spas that currently use manual bromine sanitation
Why convert to salt? Because of the higher temperatures involved, the chemical balance of a hot tub must be continuously maintained in order to stay safe. Keeping up with spa and hot tub maintenance can be a challenge - forgetting to add chlorine or bromine just once can lead to cloudy, smelly spa problems. Even conventional chlorine feeder systems run out! Instead, Controlomatic ChlorMaker spa salt chlorinators allow you to automatically and consistently ensure crystal clear water without buying or adding anymore traditional chlorine or bromine. Using a very low level of natural salt, the ChlorMaker continuously sanitizes the water while eliminating the harsh chemical odors. That means a luxurious & natural experience when you soak in the hot tub, and worry-free & cost-effective maintenance along the way.

General FAQ
These saltwater chlorine generator systems come with everything you need except salt, PVC glue, primer, a saw, and a few common tools.
In addition to adding salt to your pool water, installation entails adding one new piece of equipment to your pool. This can be performed by a handyman, plumber, electrician, pool contractor or Do-It-Yourself (DIY).
If you are contemplating installation, read more here.
The simple, industry-wide, rule-of-thumb is that your salt system should be sized at 1.5 times your pool size, or more, for the temperate and colder parts of the US.
If you live in the southern sunbelt, then you should select a system with specs of at least 2 times your pool size.
Bear in mind that an undersized system will be a constant challenge, at best, while an oversized system will extend cell life and give you reserve capacity for weather events and periods of heavy use.

Q:
The generator has a stated 7000 hour life. At continuous run, that is approx 291 days of operation. Makes it somewhat expensive if you have to replace the system every 10 months. How much is the generator by itself?

The ChlorMaker control panel is a small unit that can easily be mounted to the side of the spa or a attached to a nearby support. Its controls have three buttons for adjusting the chlorine or bromine production, and four indicator lights that let you know when it is generating or when you might need to check the cell. For power, the controls simply require a standard GFCI outlet.
The control panel has two power adjustment buttons to control the amount of sanitation, and one button to activate its boost mode. The ChlorMaker provides 10 levels of chlorine production. Its LED indicators let you know what power setting you have it on and if your salinity level is low, OK, or high.
The ChlorMaker Cell simply drapes over the side of the hot tub into the water when you desire active spa sanitation, the spa doesn't even have to be on or running! The clear cell lets you see it working and allows for easy inspection.
The Cell can also be installed inline and out-of-sight directly into the existing spa plumbing when appropriate (see manufacturer recommendations) using the optional kit.
The ControlOMatic ChlorMaker comes with:
- 15' Power Supply Cord
- 10' Cell Supply Cord
- Control Box
- Low 5.5V DC Power Supply, 100/240VAC input
- Salt & Chlorine Test Strips, 10 count
