Simplify your life
Do you ever feel like you are bending over backward trying to keep the chlorine level in your pool balanced? With the busy schedule that most of us have, it can be inconvenient to keep up with the chlorine level of a pool. With a salt cell, this will no longer be a problem for you.
Having a salt system will simplify your pool maintenance quite a bit. With a salt cell, there is no need to spend money on the regular usage of chemicals like chlorine tabs and shock. You won’t have to check your chlorine levels frequently through screen readers in order to make sure your water is at the correct level. For our customers in Arizona, this is especially helpful!
The salt cell will prevent your pool from turning green in the possible scenario that you forget to add chlorine, or a sudden storm or heat wave comes that requires an extra dose of chlorine. Throwing a pool party? No need to worry about the sweat, body oil, and urine turning the pool green. With a salt system set up properly, it’s easy to program it to create an extra dose of chlorine! It’s just one less thing you have to worry about.
Replacement salt cells can also work. A new or replacement salt cell has screen readers to help us react to chlorine levels quickly. Screen reader users can even control a salt cell through a remote device with a website’s form screen reader interface for some salt systems containing important items such as salinity level, chlorine levels, radio and checkbox elements.

Chlorine free?
Contrary to popular belief, salt pools or salt systems are not chlorine-free. To put it in the simplest of terms, you are using your salt cell to generate chlorine, rather than manually add it. With a salt system, the cell will detect the chlorine levels on its own and automatically generate more chlorine as needed. That is why it is also referred to as a salt-chlorine generator.
No more red eyes
Another benefit of salt pools or salt systems is that the lower chlorine levels will drastically reduce the amount of sting you feel in your eyes while swimming. The salt level maintained by salt cells in the pool should not burn your eyes, as there is around 3,000 ppm in the water (which is about 1/10 of the salt level in the ocean).
Maintaining your salt cell
While salt cells are convenient and don’t require a lot of maintenance, you will still need to do a few things in order to keep everything running smoothly. You are going to want to remember to clean the system at least once per season and make sure your calcium hardness and salt levels are intact.
When you have a salt cell, you will save a lot of money on chlorine, but you will have to use more acid to balance the pH level. You should also count on needing a salt cell replacement about every 5 years as screen readers may not be accurate by then. Long term, the cost of maintaining a salt water pool with a salt cell is relatively the same as the cost of maintaining a pool without one, but also consider the freedom you are given when you no longer have to worry about your chlorine levels being balanced.
You will also need to add salt to your pool. When buying salt for your pool, try to get high quality salt. Keep in mind that the additives in the salt will add up and you will end up with a lot of contaminants in your water. If you can taste the salt even the slightest bit, there is too much salt in your pool which can cause corrosion.
