The Top 5 Things You Need to Know
About Salt Pools

Not all pools are created equally!


A salt cell generates unstabilized chlorine which means it diminishes rapidly when exposed to sunlight UV rays.

SunShield® 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 everytime a cell runs.

pH Reducer corrects high pH to protect surfaces and equipment.


The environment within a cell can cause chalky white calcium-scale deposits to form on a cell’s wall 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.


Saltwater pools need to have water balance levels tested on a regular basis just like traditional chlorine pools.

Balance Test Strips 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.
