ALTERNATIVE POOL SYSTEMS• There are many alternatives to today’s standard

chlorinated pools giving consumers more choices than ever when it comes to creating the perfect swimming experience.

SALT WATER POOL• Many are turning to the ever popular “Salt Water

Pool” option in hopes that it will be less expensive, require less maintenance, and require less hazardous pool chemical transportation, handling, exposure, and storage issues.

IS IT THE BEST SWIM OF YOUR LIFE?

• Today we will tackle the question “What is a Salt Water Pool?” • We will dispel some of the

myths, and shed some light on this popular pool equipment technology and see whether it is the perfect choice for the best swim of your life.

ABOUT POOL CHLORINE

• Salt water pools are simply a pool system that uses “salt in the pool water” to generate your own pool chlorine. • Rather than adding commercially

bought chlorine to the pool manually with liquid or chlorinator tablets, a chlorine generator manufactures your pool chlorine from salt and water.

COMMERCIAL CHLORINE

• Commercial pool chlorine is not a pure product - in fact, it when you pour a gallon of commercial chlorine into your pool as much as 90% of it is other chemical inert ingredients making it an especially noxious and irritating chemical cocktail.

COMMERCIAL CHLORINE• Every year there are many accidents

reported resulting from miss headlining pool chemicals. (Read the labels): Fires, skin burns, lung, and respiratory damage, or even death from the mishandling, missuse, or just plain old accidents involving chlorine. For environmental reasons, safety reasons, and the comfort and quality of the swim, many people are exploring alternatives to standard chlorination methods.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

• Salt in the pool systems employs chlorine generator technology to manufacture chlorine products that differ significantly from store bought pool chemicals. Water with an appropriate amount of dissolved salt in it passes through an electronic salt chlorinator cell and creates chlorine to chlorinate your pool.

COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS

• A common misconception is that salt water pool systems are a “chlorine free pool.” This is not the case. A salt in the pool system is a pool that makes its own chlorine product for sanitization rather than paying for, handling, storing, and administering store bought sanitizing chemicals. This has significant benefits for the consumer as you will see when you read further.

A POPULAR POOL SYSTEM ADVANTAGE• The saltwater pool system has become the most

popular alternative to regular chlorine based pool systems for numerous reasons, safety being but one of them. With a salt chlorinator pool system, you do not need to purchase commercial chlorine because you are manufacturing your own chlorine product from ordinary salt and water.

A POPULAR POOL SYSTEM ADVANTAGE• Your pool can be automatically sanitized without

needing to fill a chlorinator with tablets or handle dangerous liquid chlorine, and when the system is properly dialed in and working properly chlorine levels are more consistent, providing better sanitation, and protection.

IS IT THE ULTIMATE POOL WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM?

• There are many searching for that “magic pool system” - minimal maintenance, economical to use, user-friendly, and one that ensures maximum results, safety, and comfort.

PEOPLE DON’T WANT THE HASSLE

• Consumers and pool owners don’t want to handle large amounts of chlorine or other dangerous pool chemicals. They don’t want to measure and worry about fluctuating chlorine levels, pH problems, etc. They don’t want to swim in water that irritates their skin, burns eyes, fades fabrics, and that feels and smells like a chemical bath.

THE TRUTH IS…• The truth is even with alternative pool treatment

systems water monitoring and balance is still critical, pH levels are just as important as with any standard chlorinated pool. In fact, salt water systems that require you to dump hundreds of pounds of salt into your swimming pool create a set of problems all their own to contend with. Make sure you are properly informed. See our article “Salt Water Pool Problems” to learn more.

HOW DOES THE CHLORINE GENERATOR SYSTEM WORK?

• The chlorine generator salt water system consists of a power supply, a controller, and a salt water chlorinator cell that works together with salt, electricity, and water to produce chlorine.

ELECTROLYSIS • Chlorine is manufactured when power is

supplied to the cell and there are enough salt and water present for the reaction to take place at the electrodes. The salt pool chlorinator uses electricity and a process known as electrolysis to separate sodium chloride (salt) and release the chloride in the salt to create liquid chlorine for your pool.

SOME INITIAL DRAWBACKS…• 1. Some initial drawbacks to this popular

alternative pool system are the fact that two to five hundred pounds of salt on average needs to be added to the pool water to achieve a concentration capable of chlorinating the pool (this ratio is not efficient or optimal for chlorine generation though).

STANDARD SALT IN THE POOL SYSTEMS ARE INEFFICIENT WHEN IT COMES TO OPTIMAL

CHLORINE PRODUCTION.

• Figure 50lbs of salt for every 1,200 gals of pool water for a salt in the pool system! Check out The Chlorine Genie (www.chlorinegenie.com) learn how to get the benefits of a salt-water pool without salting your pool. • Salt by nature is a corrosive substance, can leave

residues, discolor, damage, and kill landscaping features, stone work, tile, etc.

FURTHER INEFFICIENCY…• 2. Salt water swimming pools employ a controller to

regulate the power going to the chlorinator cell and thereby control the chlorine production for the pool. Salty water must continually flow through the cell for the process to work correctly…

NOT A $$$ SAVING FEATURE…• This necessitates continuous running of the pump,

filter, and pool equipment during chlorine production cycles (figure 8am to 6pm daily in the summer swim season). It is important to realize increased pump and filtering times put added stress on pool equipment and require extra electricity to maintain your pool. This is not a money saving feature.

CELL MAINTENANCE…

• 3. Cell maintenance and cleaning can also be problematic and costly. Mineral buildup on the cell electrodes is a common problem that affects all salt chlorinator pool systems.

CELL CLEANING…

• Many salt water chlorinator systems utilize a self-cleaning feature that reverses the polarity of the voltage through the cell to clean mineral buildup from the electrodes. This may remove the scale from the electrode but then deposits it in your pool.

SALTED POOL WATER• In fact using “salted pool water” to create chlorine is

the least efficient and clean method to create your own pool chlorine. Interested in a solution? See The Chlorine Genie: The most Advanced Pool Water Management System on the market.

HIDDEN COSTS…

• 4. Other salt chlorinators require removal and cleaning each season and may require frequent replacement when not properly serviced. This can be a chore and lead to costly maintenance and cell replacement costs.

MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS… • At best these methods are inefficient and less than

optimal when it comes to keeping your pool protected, economical, and easy to use. See our site to learn more about: Salt Water Pool Problems before you buy any salt in the pool system.

NOT A TROUBLE FREE SYSTEM…

• 5. Saltwater systems for pools are not necessarily any less difficult to maintain. They still require other pool chemicals, proper monitoring and balancing of the pool water, and maintenance. This is not a trouble free system.

MAINTENANCE…

• The standard salt in the pool system generates chlorine and the process by which it manufactures chlorine also produces byproducts which increase pH and can make balancing pool water more demanding. Total alkalinity, pH, calcium, cyanuric acid levels will still require monitoring, maintenance, and control.

SO WHY CONSIDER A SALT WATER POOL SYSTEM THEN?

• There are definitely advantages to pure chlorine products that you manufacture yourself rather than relying on purchased store bought chemicals. In fact, The Chlorine Genie System (not a salt in the pool system) manufactures 5 of the most important pool chemicals necessary for pool water maintenance from one patented system.

1. Chlorine: (without dumping

hundreds of lbs. of salt into your pool).

The Chlorine Genie’s cell submerged in

softened brine water manufactures its own…

2. Hypochlorous Acid:

(when you mix chlorine gas and oxygen with water you create hypochlorous acid).

The Chlorine Genie’s cell submerged in

softened brine water manufactures its own…

3. Sodium hydroxide: (when you mix sodium and hydrogen with water you make sodium hydroxide).

The Chlorine Genie’s cell submerged in

softened brine water manufactures its own…

4. Algaecide: Copper ions are one of the active ingredients in most algaecides.

The Genie with its Copper Silver

Technology also manufactures its own…

5. Antibacterial Agent:

(The silver ions go after micro organisms like Legionella, Staphylococcus, Salmonellas, etc. far better than chlorine. The silver ion penetrates the bacterial cell walls, binds with the DNA, and inhibits replication).

The Genie’s Copper/Silver Technology manufactures its own…

In addition to these 5 solid benefits - The Chlorine

Genie stands alone as the only unit on the market that

can…

1. Acid wash and clean the units cell with the

push of a button.

2. Adjust the pool’s pH with its built in

electronic chemical feed system.

3. It is also Simple and Economical to Operate.

SO WHY CONSIDER A SALT WATER POOL SYSTEM THEN?

• Many informed pool owners will choose salt water systems because they are looking for improved water quality and safety. Swimming in softer water that is non-irritating, that smells cleaner, and that is more sanitary when properly maintained is a definite advantage.

SALT WATER POOL ADVANTAGES

• Some do not want to deal with transporting, storing, and managing hazardous chlorine products. Salt water pools properly maintained provide all of these distinct advantages. (So does the Genie. In fact it offers considerably more.)

A LIST OF OTHER POTENTIAL BENEFITS

• No red, burning, bloodshot, irritated eyes. Pure chlorine is free of eye irritating chemical additives.

• No itching, dry, irritated skin. Most people’s skin irritation comes as a result of additives in commercial chlorine and not the chlorine itself.

• No more brittle, dry, green, and frizzy hair.

A LIST OF OTHER POTENTIAL BENEFITS

• Less breathing problems for allergy or asthma sufferers sensitive to heavy commercial chlorine pools.

• Continuous sanitation achieved through more stable chlorine levels provides better and more consistent pathogen protection.

• Dangers, hassles, and the expense of handling, storing and transporting hazardous chlorine products can be eliminated.

(The Genie provides all these benefits and more…)

A LIST OF OTHER POTENTIAL BENEFITS• Enjoy a more comfortable relaxing swimming

experience. Soft luxurious feeling pool water makes your skin feel great, and eliminates that bathed in chemical feel and smell that can ruin

your perfect swimming experience.

CONCLUSION…• If you are thinking about a Salt Water

Chlorinator Swimming Pool System for your next perfect swim, there are some serious considerations to weigh before you invest. Many pool retailers, pool professionals, and builders often mention benefits of these pool systems and tend to gloss over or avoid altogether the costs hidden expenses, and drawbacks.

CONCLUSION…• You should be fully informed and

aware of common problems, potential problems, hidden costs, and the requirements to properly operate one of these systems first.
