Millions of people worldwide drink tap water containing chemical chlorine and soak in Jacuzzi spas that use chlorine as a disinfectant. Chlorine, a manufactured chemical, was first used to make the deadly mustard gas during the First World War Ever since chlorine was modified to be used for domestic purposes; more researchers are discovering that the chemical poses a serious health risk to humans and the environment. Research conducted in the U.S., Canada, Norway, Australia, and Belgium has linked chlorine byproducts found in swimming pools to increased rates of bladder cancer, lung damage, asthma, stillbirths, and miscarriages.
HEALTHY CHLORINE ALTERNATIVES: SALT CHLORINATORS
Rather than continuing to use harmful chemical products, many people are turning to a natural way to keep their hot tubs jacuzzi clean and healthy. Salt Chlorinators are an efficient alternative that is fast becoming a healthier choice. Salt water sanitization systems are a natural way to keep your spa water crystal clear and well-sanitized.
HOW A SALT WATER CHLORINATOR WORKS
The salt water chlorinator contains a salt cell. The gentle saline water is sanitized through a special process called electrolysis. The salt makes the water conductive so that electricity can pass between plates contained within the salt cell. As the water passes between the plates, electrolysis occurs, triggering a chemical reaction which releases chlorine from the salt. By adding small quantities of a granulated salt, common chlorine is created. During the process, the chlorine is eventually converted back to salt. Therefore, the salt does not become depleted so you only need to top it off once or twice a year. The minimum level required to keep the spa clean is about 3000 parts per million of salt in the water.
BENEFITS
A salt water chlorinator automatically keeps your spa Jacuzzi water continuously sanitized and healthy. You will no longer have to store chlorine packages, shock treatment products, or algaecides, which can be a safety hazard for children and pets. The lower level of chlorine and natural salt in the system eliminates sore and burning red eyes, green hair, skin irritation, and overpowering chlorine odors. You will also feel refreshed and your skin will retain its soft texture. In other words, you will not feel like you just took a bath in chemical soup.
Salt chlorinator systems are very easy to operate and require very little maintenance. Automatic sanitation saves you time and money. You only need to check the pH and alkalinity once in a while instead of on a daily basis using only vinegar and baking soda.
