Are Salt Chlorinators worth the money in 2026?
We believe salt chlorinators are most definitely worth the investment in 2026. Salt chlorinators provide daily chlorine production into your pool water which is cost effective and very convenient.
Depending on how much rain we receive over the warmer months will ascertain how much salt you need to add to the pool to keep your chlorinator happy and at the correct required salt PPM. A salt chlorinator cell reacts with the salt added to your pool water, this process is called electrolysis, and the byproduct is chlorine gas being added to your pool on a daily basis.
Yes, running a pool without salt chlorinator would likely be the cheaper option up front, however if things go wrong with your pool waters chemistry and the pool requires shock dosing or additional work to clean up if you have forgotten to add the chlorine or not added enough. Life is very busy and using a salt chlorinator on your pool at home is one way to keep your pool sanitized without the manual labor of adding chlorine to the pool not to mention the cost of purchasing chlorine each week and the time it takes to collect your supplies.
In our opinion at Centenary Pool Mart we strive to make pool care as easy as it can be with as little effort required. Assault chlorinated is just one way we can reduce the ongoing maintenance of your home swimming pool and reduce the risk of having a green pool.
We still recommend testing your pool water at least every two weeks to ensure that your levels are under control and you have your chlorinator set at the correct levels and running for the right amount of time. Reducing your chlorinator running time over winter can save your chlorinator cell hours and ensure you get the most amount of time out of your chlorinator and cell not to mention reduced power consumption.
We recommend the Evolution Salt Water chlorinator and also the Neptune digital chlorinator. If you are interested in a Fresh Water System(Low salt) the Brauer B Fresh Water System is the perfect choice!
Oil salt chlorinators are compatible with magnesium and we can advise around the correct levels of magnesium for your swimming pool for you to get the best health benefits from it.
