Most of us are quite familiar with chlorine. We know that it kills bacteria and keeps our pool water safe from invisible pathogens that could be harmful to our health. That being said, how are we supposed to know how much chlorine to put into our pool? Too much chlorine could irritate eyes and skin and may even damage your pool system and not enough could create an unsafe level and turn the pool green. However, there is an easy solution to the confusing task of adding chlorine to our pool.
By adding a salt chlorinator to your pool system, you can effectively regulate the amount of chlorine in a pool. Of course, regulating the chlorine is the number one benefit of a chlorinator, but we’d like to highlight some of the other benefits that perhaps don’t jump to the front of our minds. If you consider the amount of time spent on adding jugs of chlorine each week combined with the time you have to wait before using the pool after that chlorine is added, you can effectively reduce the amount of time you spend in pool maintenance. Add those hours up over fifty-two weeks each year and that a substantial savings. After all, wouldn’t you rather be lounging or swimming then trying to figure out how much chlorine you need to add?
An additional benefit for salt chlorinators are that they reduce the time and effort needed to check your chlorine levels. Many of the salt chlorinators chlorine levels only need to be checked weekly and oftentimes the equipment even contains a gauge that indicates if the water needs more or less chlorine. All in all, it adds up to more time spent swimming and less time trying to decipher what is causing the pale shade of green in your pool.
