Now that you know what you’ll need, here are 3 easy steps for making the transition to salt chlorination.
3 Easy Steps for Converting to a Salt Water Pool
1. Purchase a salt water chlorine generation system.
The only equipment you need to convert your pool is the salt water chlorine generating system. Purchase a system, such as the AquaRite, consisting of a control box and a salt cell.
2. Install the control box and salt cell
The control box is no bigger than a lunch box and it is installed on a wall. The salt cell installs into the existing pool plumbing with standard fittings that come with the product.
3. Make the final electrical connections
Connect the new salt water chlorine generation system to your home’s 240V electrical service.
Once the system is connected and salt is dissolved in the pool, the electrical power will charge the salt cell, converting the salt into chlorine. Luxuriously soft water with pure, fresh chlorine is returned to the pool.
