Picking the Right Saltwater Chlorinator

Replacing, upgrading, or maintaining a salt chlorine generator is simple. But don’t let choosing the right model and size for your pool and budget become overwhelming, here are the main points to consider:

Pool Size

Oversize your system, don’t go with the minimum. Pay attention to the real measure of capacity, the ‘chlorine output’ stat, and choose a high volume system to maximize your new system’s efficiency and life span.

Use & Environment

Have lots of people swimming in the pool? Live in a hot sunny climate? Choose a larger model to compensate for more demanding pools.

Compatibility

You don’t have to stick with the same brand as your pump or filter. Salt chlorine generators are designed to work the same with whatever brand equipment you already have. You’re free to choose the best option for you.

Maintenance

Saltwater systems require a fraction of maintenance compared to chlorine systems, but occasionally you’ll need to replace or clean the salt cell. Consider how you’ll handle the install and the occasional maintenance when choosing a new system.

Should You "Convert" to Salt?

If you still have a traditional chlorine pool, converting to a saltwater pool system just means adding a chlorine generator. It’s so easy that it’s become the standard in pool care! People love the benefits:

Less Maintenance & Hassle

Pool salt systems work automatically every with your pump to keep the pool crystal clear & algae free. No need to store, drag around, or dump in buckets of chlorine all the time. The salt system lets you know how its working.

You’ll Love the Water

Salt systems eliminate the “chloramines” that cause these harsh chemical effects in traditional pools. That means soft, smooth, silky water and no more red eyes, itchy skin, bleached hair, or chemical smells.

Big Savings

A saltwater chlorine generator is the most cost effective way to maintain a pool. It generates free chlorine, and when its used up, its “cell” is easily replaced at a fraction of the cost. Over its lifetime, you can save up to 40% or more over the amount of chlorine you would have to otherwise buy!

Saltwater chlorine generators come in a variety of brands, sizes, and configurations. Choosing the right generator for your pool is an important first step in making the switch to a saltwater pool.

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 $1499, 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 $694, which typically means another 1200 pounds of chlorine at even greater savings.
