Frog Pool Tender Mineral System VS. Salt Chlorine Generators
Compare the Frog Pool Tender Mineral System versus Salt Chlorine Generators in this in-depth look by our above ground pool experts at The Pool Factory.
When you are deciding how you are going to sanitize your pool you may notice you have a few options. The most common way people sanitize their above ground pool is with chlorine, either granular (powder) or tablets.
However, there are some alternative sanitizing systems that are also available. While they may still be using chlorine to clean the pool, it is in different forms and amounts. Two of the most common are mineral systems and saltwater systems, such as:
- Frog Pool Tender Fresh Mineral Water System
- Salt Chlorine Generator (ex. Solaxx Saltron Retro XL)
Frog Pool Tender Fresh Mineral Water System Package
The Frog Pool Tender system delivers a unique bacteria-killing combination: sanitizing minerals plus a very low level of chlorine. The result is Fresh Mineral Water® that gives you Cleaner, Clearer, Softer and Easier® water to maintain. Using fresh minerals means you use way less chlorine. Chambers are prefilled so there’s no mess, no guess, no stress.
Solaxx Saltron Retro XL
This self-contained purification system utilizes a natural process to generate pure chlorine. The electrolytic process uses a very low concentration of salt (less than a teaspoon per gallon) and generates free chlorine. Learn more...
Mineral systems can be used on any pool model while a salt generator can ONLY be used with saltwater above ground pools like the Saltwater 5000, Saltwater 8000, Saltwater LX, Saltwater Aurora and Intrepid.
