Maintaining your mineral system is very simple and requires little effort. It will come with premeasured Chlorine Chambers that need to be swapped out every 1-2 weeks. How often you change the Chlorine Chambers depends on a number of different factors such as the size of the pool, amount of sunlight that hits the pool and how many people use the pool regularly. The system also uses a mineral pac that needs to be changed only once a year. Additional Chlorine Chambers and Mineral Chambers can be purchased on our website ThePoolFactory.com.

Saltwater systems are user friendly and effective alternative sanitizing systems that provide a silky soft feel to the pool water by consistently generating low amounts of chlorine. It creates a steady chlorine residual that will prevent cloudy water and algae, and it’s very economical to run. Saltwater can be corrosive to most above ground pools. You should only use a saltwater system with pools that are specifically built for saltwater use. The Saltwater 5000 and the Saltwater 8000 are saltwater pools built with special components to resist the corrosion issues associated with Saltwater and are both warrantied for saltwater use.

Return Jet Saltwater Systems
Return Jet Saltwater Systems like the Hayward Aqua Trol RJ and the Hayward Salt & Swim ABG and Solaxx Retro AG are enhanced saltwater systems that simply connect to the water jet return fitting (on the outside of the pool) and convert the dissolved salt in the pool water into chlorine.

Solaxx Retro Jet RJ Saltwater Chlorine Generator
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.
Inline (Hard-plumbing) Saltwater Systems
Hard plumbing Saltwater systems like the Solaxxx Saltron Reliant connect to the return line of the pool with PVC pipe or flexible PVC pipe, producing chlorine through the dissolved salt in the water. This unit includes a flow switch and control box that features easy push button icons with LED indicators.
Solaxx Saltron Reliant Saltwater Chlorine Generator Up To 30,000 Gallons
The Reliant system produces a pure, elemental form of chlorine by electrolysis of salt added to the pool water. After the salt is converted to chlorine and bacteria has been killed, the chlorine reverts back to salt and this process is ongoing. The salt concentration is very low (less than a human tear) and the water feels soft, silky and sparkling clean!
Since your Saltwater Generator is producing chlorine right in your pool, there will be no need to add any more. Most saltwater generators will let you know when the salt level in your pool is too low. Salt Test strips can also be used to determine how much salt is in your water. The cell inside most saltwater systems should be inspected and cleaned every few months and replaced between 2-4 years, depending on pool size and usage.
If you never want to see a bucket of chlorine again and are in the market for a new pool, a saltwater system in combination with one of our saltwater pools can be exactly what you are looking for.
