We understand that you have questions regarding our system.  Here we hope to answer them.  We have experienced wonderful things with the saltwater system, a few include the comfort of those who are allergic to chlorine, have skin complaints, and for our babies, who's skin is so delicate.

When salt is dissolved into water and the water is then subjected to a simple process of electrolysis, a very effective water sanitizer is produced.

In fresh-water applications, such as swimming pools, spa pools, therapy pools – salt is added to the water to produce a very mild saline solution, approximately 1/3rd the salinity of human tears (or approx 1/12th as salty as ocean water). The salt used is common, every-day salt, or sodium chloride – the same pure salt found in sea water and used at the dining table.

When the water (and dissolved salt) is passed through the ‘cell’ portion of the Saline System equipment, chlorine gas is automatically produced (from the dissolved salt). This chlorine gas dissolves instantaneously into the water (so is never a hazard), and produces high levels of sanitizer/oxidizer which firstly prevent the formation of ‘chloramines’ and other ‘chlorine compounds’ and secondly provides a safe and measurable residual of sanitizer in the main water body.

The elimination of ‘chloramines’ and other ‘chlorine compounds’ means the elimination of all of the obnoxious side-effects commonly associated with the manual use of ‘pool chlorine’ and leaves the water looking, feeling like the most pure, fresh and chemical-free water possible.  So while the sanitizer is still chlorine, it is at it's most efficient, reducing effects associated with chlorine only pools.

Advantages of the Saline System

No RED EYES, No GREEN HAIR, SOFT SKIN AND HAIR.

smaller quantities of chemicals required

swimmer comfort, and better water quality.

Healthy. A Saline Purification System will maintain perfectly healthy water, while eliminating the risks and problems associated with periods of very high or low chemical levels. Environmentally and Ecologically Positive. The Saline System eliminates the need to manufacture, transport and store ‘pool-chlorine’ type chemicals and instead uses only pure natural salt from the ocean – and then re-cycles that salt indefinitely. Re-cycling a natural product – what a concept!

Comfortable swimming environment. Users of swimming pools and spa pools enjoy the natural therapeutic and health benefits of the mild salt water - with none of the obnoxious effects usually suffered with manually-chlorinated water. Swimmers who suffer so-called ‘chlorine allergies’ will find relief from those symptoms in a saline pool. Other advantages for swimmers include NO RED EYES, NO IRRITATED SKIN, NO DAMAGED HAIR OR BATHING SUITS.

Common Questions, with Answers

How salty is the water? In fresh-water applications (such as pools, spas, water-features, lakes etc) salt is added to the water to produce a salinity of approx 3000 ppm (parts-per-million), which is 1/12th as salty as ocean water, or 1/3rd as salty as human tears.

Is it sanitary - Yes. Regardless of the daily operating time, or the volume of water in your pool, there exists a certain ‘sanitizer-demand’ of the subject water. This sanitizer-demand is dependent upon many factors, water temperature, various water constituents, the number of people and other contaminants which enter the water, the effects of sunlight on sanitizer efficiency, the daily number of hours the water is subject to use – and more. This demand is met by the salt-cell, which produces the sanitizer, all controlled by computer on site, and centrally off site.
