Salt water pool chlorinators are designed to assist with the precise levels of sanitiser to provide a healthy pool. Every pool needs to be sanitised. Once the pool filter has removed the organic material that algae and bacteria feed on, the Chlorinator’s job is to destroy all the remaining bacteria and algae which can be dangerous to swimmers and bathers. Salt Chlorinators are the most popular type of sanitiser in Australia and are gaining significant popularity around the world. Salt water pool chlorinators are made for Australian conditions, and can be used in conjunction with salt or minerals.

Once your existing pool system is inspected, we shall offer you suggestions with regards to the make and model of the salt water pool chlorinators that will work for your pool, with warranties and price points.
The chlorinator must match or exceed your pool's volume. A general rule is to select a unit rated for 1.5 to 2 times your actual pool volume to ensure it can handle high demand without running constantly, which extends the cell's lifespan.
Modern units offer Bluetooth or Wi-Fi monitoring for remote control. Advanced models include automatic pH regulation (acid dosing) and ORP (redox) sensors to automatically adjust chlorine output.
Focus on the grams per hour (g/h) or pounds per day of chlorine produced, rather than just the rated pool volume, as output varies significantly between models.
Look for "reverse polarity" or self-cleaning cells. These change the polarity of the electrodes to prevent calcium and scale build-up, significantly reducing manual maintenance.
Consider units with added benefits like automated pH control (acid dosing), which helps maintain water balance and reduce eye irritation.
Warmer climates, high sunlight, and heavy bather loads require larger chlorinators to combat faster chlorine loss.
Choose high-quality titanium plates, which are resistant to corrosion and offer longer, more reliable operation.
Ensure the cell fits your existing plumbing and that the controller matches your pool pump's flow rate.
Longer warranties often reflect better quality and longer expected lifespans for the cell.

It uses an electrolytic cell to convert dissolved salt (NaCl) in your pool water into hypochlorous acid (chlorine), which sanitizes the pool. The chlorine then turns back into salt, creating a continuous cycle.
High-purity, granular salt (at least 99%salt) is recommended, usually sold as pool salt or sodium chloride. Avoid using table salt, which often contains additives.
Most systems require a salinity level between 3,000-5,000ppm (roughly 4kg of salt per 1000 litres of water).
Salt does not evaporate; it is only lost through splash-out, backwashing, or draining. Generally, you only need to add salt once a year, often at the start of the season or after heavy rain.
Depending on water hardness, the cell should be inspected every 3 months and cleaned with a mild acid solution to remove calcium build-up.
The cell, or electrode, usually lasts between 3 and 7 years, depending on usage and maintenance.
Yes. While the system generates chlorine, you still need to balance pH, Total Alkalinity, and stabilizer (cyanuric acid) levels.
Yes, you may need to add traditional chlorine or "shock" the pool after heavy rain, large bather loads, or if the water turns green, as the chlorinator may not keep up with high demand.
Saltwater is generally not harmful, but if salt levels are too high or pH is not managed, it can cause corrosion to metal parts (like heater heat exchangers).
Most, but not all, systems automatically shut down in cold water (below 15°C or 59°F) to protect the cell, requiring you to use liquid chlorine to maintain sanitizer levels during winter.
