How does it work?

What is a salt system?

A salt system is an electronic device that turns salt into chlorine. It consists of a cell (where the chlorine is produced), and a power pack (which provides power to the cell and controls the functions).


How does it work?

Common salt (sodium chloride) is made up of two elements, sodium and chloride. When your Zodiac salt system is installed, a measured quantity of salt is dissolved in the pool water to make it slightly salty. As part of the daily filtration cycle, the pool water is

passed through the Zodiac electrolytic cell to produce
chlorine which is dissolved instantly into the water.


In simple, non-technical terms, the chlorine instantly starts to destroy bacteria, viruses and algae, and in doing this reverts back to dissolved salt. This cycle continues with more new chlorine being produced from the salt water in the electrolytic cell, sanititzing the pool, and changing once more back to dissolved salt.
