Ever wondered how an InverClear Salt Chlorinator works?
1. Salt Addition
First, you add a specific amount of salt to your pool water. The ideal salt concentration is usually around 3000-4000 ppm (parts per million).
2. Electrolysis Process
As the pool water circulates through the chlorinator, it passes over specially designed electrodes. The chlorinator uses electrolysis to break down the salt molecules.
3. Chlorine Production
During electrolysis, the salt is split into sodium and chlorine. The chlorine generated is a powerful sanitizer that effectively kills bacteria, algae, and other contaminants in the pool water.
4. Chlorine Dissolution
The chlorine produced is then dissolved into the water and helps maintain clear and safe swimming conditions.
5. Reconversion
After the chlorine has sanitized the pool, it eventually converted back into salt, which means the system continuously recycles the salt used. This reduces the need for adding chlorine separately.
