Way of working:
The salt it needs should be added to the pool at a concentration of 4-6 kg/m³ (5-6 times less than seawater). The system produces chlorine (CI₂) by breaking down the dissolved salt in the water into sodium (Na) and chlorine (CI) ions.
2NaCl + 2H₂O = 2NaOH + H₂ + Cl₂
Chlorine dissolves in water to form hypochlorous acid.
Cl2 + H₂O = HOCl + HCl
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) oxidizes the microorganisms present in the water. The system also generates active oxygen (O₂), which further favors water disinfection.
2HOCl = 2HCl + O₂
After the water is disinfected, hydrochloric acid (HCl) reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in a so-called neutralization reaction. The process itself continues with the subsequent binding of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) ions, which again form sodium chloride (NaCl) (salt).
NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H₂O
Salt electrolysis is a closed process in which none of the products are lost. Salt is added once to the water during the initial installation of the system. In the case of water loss, for example during backwashing of the filter, it is necessary to add salt in proportion to the added amount of water.
