  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.

5
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.

7
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.

8
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.

9
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.

10
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.

11
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.

12
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.

13
Is it the Ultimate Pool Water Management System?
14

• 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.

15
People DONT WANT THE HASSLE

• Consumers and pool owners dont want to handle
  large amounts of chlorine or other dangerous pool
  chemicals. They dont want to measure and worry
  about fluctuating chlorine levels, pH problems,
  etc. They dont want to swim in water that
  irritates their skin, burns eyes, fades fabrics,
  and that feels and smells like a chemical bath.

16
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.

17
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.

18
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.

19
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).

20
Standard salt in the pool systems are inefficient
when it comes to optimal chlorine production.
21

• 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.

22
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

23
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.

24
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.

25
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.

26
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.

27
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.

28
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.

29
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.

30
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.

31
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.

32
The Chlorine Genies cell submerged in softened
brine water manufactures its own

• Chlorine
• (without dumping hundreds of lbs. of salt
  into your pool).

33
The Chlorine Genies cell submerged in softened
brine water manufactures its own

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

34
The Chlorine Genies cell submerged in softened
brine water manufactures its own

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

35
The Genie with its Copper Silver Technology also
manufactures its own

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

36
The Genies Copper/Silver Technology manufactures
its own

• 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).

37
In addition to these 5 solid benefits - The
Chlorine Genie stands alone as the only unit on
the market that can

1. It is also Simple and Economical to Operate.

41
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.

42
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.)

43
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 peoples
  skin irritation comes as a result of additives in
  commercial chlorine and not the chlorine itself.
• No more brittle, dry, green, and frizzy hair.

44
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)

45
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.

46
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.

47
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.
