A GREEN Aproach to Pool Sanitization
The Aqua Rite Low Salt Chlorine Generator from Hayward offers the same simple, safe and affordable approach to pool sanitization that you would expect from the original Aqua Rite, but uses virtually half the amount of salt, making it an even more environmentally friendly approach to salt chlorine generation. They easily install on standard filtration systems, both for new construction and on existing pools.
Salt (NaCl) is present in tap water and in pools treated with stabilized liquid or chlorine pucks. Over time, conventionally treated pools will have an elevated residual of salt as a by-product of sanitizing. The Aqua Rite Low Salt chlorinator has the ability to stop producing chlorine at 800 p.p.m. and operates at just 1200 - 1800 p.p.m. (this is roughly half the amount of the standard Aqua Rite.) The benefits of lower salt levels include a reduction/elimination of electrolytic corrosion, a reduced environmental impact as well as reduced operation costs with less salt addition.
Installing the Aqua Rite Low Salt does not change from a typical installation, however it is a good idea to ensure the water is tested for salt prior to adding salt. In many cases when installed on an existing pool previously sanitized by liquid or pucks - NO salt will be needed.
A LITTLE SALT GOES A LONG WAY
Aqua Rite® Low Salt uses advanced electrolytic technology to convert a small amount of ordinary salt – one teaspoon per gallon of pool water – into a virtually endless supply of fresh, pure chlorine. The process can produce enough chlorine a day to satisfy the sanitization requirements of pools up to a size of 18 x 36. And since the salt doesn’t wear out or evaporate, you rarely have to add more.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE TECHNOLOGY.
There are two components to Aqua Rite Low Salt: the control box and its patented Turbo Cell®, a specially designed electrolytic converter that installs on your system’s return line, behind the pump, filter and heater. As pool water passes through the Turbo Cell, an extremely safe electrical charge generated by the control box automatically converts the dissolved salt into fresh, pure chlorine. The water is then dispersed evenly throughout the pool by the return jets. Each time the water is recirculated, the salt-based chlorine gets recharged and the cycle is repeated.
