Salt
Many swimming pools and spas use an automated generator that
converts sodium chloride into chlorine. These chlorine generator systems
require that you measure the salt content of the water on a regular basis. If the
salt level gets too high, you can damage your generator. If the level is too
low, the system won’t be able to sanitize your water adequately.
The ideal level of salt content varies according to the manufacturer. If you
have a chorine generator, it is critical that you maintain the sodium chloride
level in the ideal range recommended by the manufacturer of your generator
system. This will help your generator to sanitize the water properly,
keeping it sparkling clear and clean.
By the way, even if you have a chlorine generator, you still need to monitor
the levels of chlorine, pH, alkalinity and hardness in your pool or spa.
