Chlorine Generators for Hot Tubs
Saturday, July 26th, 2008Chlorine Generators are changing how Americans, Canadians and Europeans are managing their hot tubs and spas. The technology was first implemented in Australia years back, but has now come to this side of the world.
Salt water Chlorine Generators are the natural way to keep your hot tub or spa water sparkling clear, fragrant and fresh. Spa owners are turning to this natural way to keep their tub clean and healthy, rather than continually dumping harmful chemicals into the water.
How a salt water chlorinator works
The first component is, of course, salt. Instead of the hash chemicals, you put a small amount of salt in the water - less than the salinity of your tears. The salt, dissolved completely in the water, is made up of sodium and chlorine.
The chlorine generator contains a series of plates with opposing electrical charges. These charges start a very small chemical reaction called electrolysis which releases chlorine from the salt. This is the most pure form of chlorine and since it is already in the flowing water, there is never any residue or by-products.
Note: Saltwater from the ocean has approx 20,000ppm (parts per million) of salt. Saltwater chlorinators require around 3000ppm, which generally can’t even be tasted.

Salt Chlorine Generator Growing Trends
Saturday, July 12th, 2008The market for salt chlorine generator systems for spas and hot tubs is growing at an exponential rate. The market growth, to-date, has been primarily with residential pools and spas but it is likely that the technology will expand into commercial installations (condominium, hotel, municipal, etc.) as regulating bodies see the benefits and overall safety improvements. Driving this growth are simplicity, safety, water quality and automated management opportunities. Prior to the advent of pool chlorinators, a pool owner only had undesirable options for continually adding chemicals and all the additives and residues packaged with them.
Industry numbers show upwards of 50% of new residential pools and 25% of residential spas in North America are getting installed with salt water chlorine generators. There are currently some 6,000,000 previously installed residential pools now looking to add the units – all fueling this exploding new technology.
