Disinfection of water by salt electrolysis

Salt electrolysis in swimming pools is a process that allows water to be treated naturally. When the salt present in the pool comes into contact with the titanium plates, it dissociates into sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl⁻). The chlorine then dissolves immediately in the water, producing natural active chlorine that disinfects the water and destroys organic matter, bacteria, fungi and algae.

Subsequently, under the effect of the sun’s ultraviolet rays, the chlorine is converted back into salt, which then passes through the electrodes again. The disinfection cycle then begins anew.

The water is therefore disinfected, self-disinfecting and crystal clear, without the drawbacks of chemical chlorine (irritation, unpleasant odours, etc.) and without the addition of harmful chemicals.

A small amount of salt is dissolved in the pool water. As the water flows through the salt chlorinator, an electric current naturally converts the salt into active chlorine directly within the filtration system, ensuring a residual disinfectant effect throughout the pool.

This active chlorine eliminates bacteria, viruses and algae, then converts back into salt once its disinfecting action is complete. The cycle continues continuously.
