Using HTH® Products with Your Salt Chlorine Generator Pool
As with any pool, if you do not properly care for your
generator or pool water, various problems may arise
in and around your salt chlorine generator pool. Some
issues that affect pools using a salt chlorine generator
are the following:
•Cellcorrosion
•Chalkyresidueondeckandsurroundingarea
–Rinsedeckwithwaterweekly
•Metalerosion
•Heaterdamage
•Stains
•Salt water can cause certain concrete water
features and sandstone rocks to dissolve. It is
important that your builder assure you that these
features are compatible with your salt water
system. Salt water does not affect most vinyl-
lined pools.
For salt chlorine generator pools, follow
the same recommended levels in the
Balanced Pool Care Chart.
Step 1: Test & Balance
•HTH Balancers are compatible with salt chlorine
generator pools.
Step 2: Sanitize
•Your salt chlorine generator is providing routine
sanitization with the chlorine it is producing.
However, there must be salt present in your water
for the generator to create chlorine. Please refer
to your manufacturer’s directions for further
instructions.
Step 3: Shock Weekly
•Both HTH Shock ‘N Swim and HTH Super Shock
‘N Swim are compatible for use with salt chlorine
generator pools and will help maintain calcium
hardness in pool water.
Step 4: Prevent Algae
•HTHalgaecidesarecompatiblewithsaltchlorine
generator pools.
If you have a pool with a salt chlorine generator, it is
still important to follow a regular maintenance routine.
Although your salt chlorine generator is producing
your routine sanitizer (chlorine), other important pool
care issues still need your attention.
The same 4-Step Program recommended for traditional
chlorine pools is also applicable to a pool using a
salt chlorine generator for sanitization. Make sure to
always follow the salt manufacturer instructions for
warranty purposes, as some manufacturers prohibit
the use of certain pool maintenance products with
their device.
