A salt cell generates unstabilized chlorine which means it diminishes rapidly when exposed to sunlight UV rays. Stabilizer shields against sunlight to extend the life of generated chlorine and minimize cell run time.
The process a cell uses to convert saltwater into chlorine contributes to higher water pH every time a cell runs. Lo'N Slo corrects high pH (and alkalinity) to protect surfaces and equipment.
The environment within a cell can cause chalky white calcium-scale deposits to form on a cell's walls, fins and electrodes over time, decreasing the chlorine output. Scale Defender protects against damaging scale for efficient, long lasting cell performance and Cell Cleaner removes built-up scale to restore cell to peak performance.
Chlorine is effective at killing bacteria and algae, but creates unpleasant by-products when it reacts with contaminants like sweat, sunscreen, or fertilizer. Smart Shock eliminates contaminants for clear, fresh water.
Saltwater pools need to have water balance levels tested on a regular basis just like traditional chlorine pools. BioGuard Test Stripsand regular water testing ensure proper water balance for the best swimmer comfort, equipment protection, and sanitizer efficiency.
The amount of salt in a pool and the amount of chlorine being produced are independent of each other. Adding more salt to the water (above what is recommended in the owner's manual) does not improve efficiency or increase the generation of chlorine. Salt Level Test Strips ensure correct salt levels.
