Salt water is a very efficient electrical conductor, in pool applications the current used is low voltage DC to prevent high voltage AC electrocution. In the chlorine generators electronics circuit board there is a DC current sensor set with a value of -/+. If the salt content is low it takes more current to pass through and an alarm would indicate to add more salt. If the salt content is to high, current passes through to easy and alarm would indicate to remove salt.

What is the proper ratio of salt per gallon of water?
Most chlorine generators require a salt content in the water of a pool 2500 to 6000 ppm
Can you put salt in your chlorine pool and make it clearer and easier to maintain?
It wouldn't make a great deal of difference aside from making the water feel better to swim in. Salt water pools also have chlorine generators that convert part of the salt in the water into chlorine.
Is it safe to water house plant orchids with tap water?
depends on the chloride/ chlorine content of the water
Is chloroform denser than water and oil?
Yes It Is! because of its chlorine content.
What does a hygometer measure?
it measures the water vapor content of air or the humidity.
Can you make an Epsom salt water pool?
The usual reason for salt in a pool is for chlorination. Epsom salt won't work with salt/chlorine generators. BUT, you can add epsom salt to your water.
What weather tool starts with the letter P?
psychrometer (measures water vapor content in the atmosphere)
What unit is used when measuring chlorine content in water?
The unit used is parts per million. It is called as P.P.M.
Is the salt content in seawater enough to kill bacteria like chlorine in swimming pools?
Yes. Many people are actually swithching from chlorine to salt water pool filters, although the water is only about 1/8 of what the ocean is, it is easier and cheaper than chlorine.
Why do you need a chlorine generator?
If you have a salt water pool then the chlorine generator is there to convert the salt into chlorine to keep up the chlorine content of the pool. However if you don't have one of these or it is broken down you can always add chlorine directly to make up the shortfall until the necessary repairs are done.
Can you have a salt water hot tub and a chlorine pool without cross contamination?
You cannot "contaminate" a chlorine pool or spa with salt or vice versa. Chlorine starts as salt. Chlorine generators use salt to make chlorine. Therefore your "salt" spa is already a chlorine spa, you are just not putting chlorine tablets in it. It is a very common misconception that a salt system is some how different than a chlorine system. There are no "salt generators" and the salt does nothing other than allow a "chlorine generator" to produce chlorine. We get this question almost every day and it's generally because customers are "sold" not "told" about the product they purchased. If you were expecting anything other than purchasing a device that makes chlorine from salt, you will be disappointed. Pool & Spa
Where are water generators sold?
There are many water generators sold at reputable websites across the internet. Water generators are costly and rarely sold at common stores. Water generators can also be found at some home improvement store.
