Salt water swimming pools have grown in popularity among homeowners and commercial pool operators. Using a salt water chlorinator, these pools provide cleaner, safer water with less maintenance compared to traditional chlorine pools.

No more chemicals, salt water chlorination is an eco-friendlier solution for your pool. It protects your health and ensures clear water through the year.

It’s simple: from lightly salted water (1/7th less than seawater) a chlorination cell produces and circulates chlorine to destroy bacteria, algae and chloramines without leaving any residue or pollution. Salt recomposes automatically before being recycled into chlorine again You enjoy a perfectly disinfected pool, in serenity and comfort.

What Is a Salt Water Swimming Pool?

A salt water swimming pool is not chlorine free it uses a salt water chlorinator system to produce chlorine from dissolved salt. Pool grade salt is added at a low concentration (about 3,000–5,000 ppm, roughly one tenth of seawater). The chlorinator converts salt into chlorine through electrolysis, sanitising the water continuously. Once the chlorine disinfects the pool, it converts back to salt, creating a self-sustaining cleaning cycle.

Benefits of Salt water Chlorination

Automatic and Consistent Sanitisation.
A salt water chlorinator produces chlorine consistently while the pool filtration is running. This ensures stable chlorine levels, reducing the risk of under or over-chlorination.
Softer, More Comfortable Water.
Salt water pools are known for their gentle, soft water. Lower chlorine fluctuations and dissolved salt help reduce eye and skin irritation. Benefits incliude: Softer skin, less irration to eyes and a more comfortable swimming experience for families and frequent swimmers.

Salt Chlorination Swimming Pool Installation

Reduced Chemical Handling
Unlike traditional chlorine pools, a salt water swimming pool requires minimal handling of harsh chemicals like tablets or liquid chlorine.
Lower Long-Term Costs
Although the initial cost of a salt water chlorinator installation is higher, salt is inexpensive and rarely needs replenishment. Over time, running costs are lower than traditional chemical treatments.
Improved Water Quality and Clarity
Salt water systems generate pure chlorine, reducing chloramine buildup and keeping the water clear and fresh smelling.
Ideal for Indoor and Outdoor Pools
Salt chlorination is effective for both indoor and outdoor pools, improving comfort and reducing chlorine odour in enclosed spaces.

Salt Chlorinators

A salt water chlorination system is a modern, low-maintenance solution that automatically generates chlorine from salt dissolved in your pool water. Instead of handling tablets or liquid chlorine, the system produces a steady, consistent sanitiser supply through a built-in electrolytic cell.

A salt water system provides the comfort of luxury swimming with the reliability of chlorine sanitation — delivering cleaner water, reduced maintenance, and long-term savings.
