Problem:
Swimming pools rely on sanitization systems—usually employing chlorine—to maintain clear and healthy water for swimming. But in recent years, chlorine prices have grown more volatile, creating a budgetary challenge. In addition, chlorine can be dangerous to handle, requiring specific training as well as safe transportation and storage. By generating chlorine on-site, you can solve both problems at once, improving safety at your facility while also ensuring a constant supply of chlorine with no cost surprises.
Solution:
A saline system is simple to use and has a long service life, providing trouble-free sanitization of your pool’s water. How does it work? The operator simply adds a small amount of salt to the pool. As water flows through the system’s electrolytic cell, the machine creates sodium hypochlorite at a pH of 9.2.
Because the only input is salt, you’ll do away with the need to purchase bulk chlorine, with its price volatility and unreliable delivery schedules.
You’ll save on more than just chlorine using this method. Because a salt water chlorination system creates chlorine at a lower pH than traditional bleach, you’ll significantly decrease the amount of chemicals needed to reduce your pool’s pH and balance your water.
Bulk chlorine presents many safety challenges. It requires hazmat trucks, permits, training, special storage facilities and cross-contamination awareness. Training is paramount to ensure your pool staff understands how to handle chlorine properly. Add other pool chemicals to the mix, like muriatic acid, which can create a dangerous toxic gas when accidentally mixed with chlorine, and the potential risks multiply.
If you want to avoid these safety issues altogether, consider a commercial saline chlorination system. By producing your pool’s chlorine on-site, you will eliminate your staff’s responsibility for managing bulk hazardous material.
You can further reduce the load on your staff by looking for a commercial chlorine generator with a salinity sensor. The sensor monitors the salt level in your pool and a back-of-house brine tank, maintaining the salinity ppm automatically.
