Re: Salt water chlorinator for pool
Maintaining is the key.
When people go into an establishment, and you smell the "chlorine" smell where you get the cough, hard to breath and burning eyes, 99% of the people will say "You have too much chlorine in your pool or spa".
Wrong.
The "Chlorine smell" is actually Chloramines (combined chlorine) or in simplier terms, dirty chlorine. It's chlorine that has done it's job and needs to be gassed off by new/clean chlorine. (Breakpoint chlornation)
Usually this happens in indoor pools, from 1st a lack or chlorine in the pools, then heavy bather load and lastly ventalation. You can sometimes smell this in outdoor pools but it's not that great because of the outside air.
My comment on SWG I stick by. They may work for others, and if they do. Then great, I hope it works and gives you a long sanatising life. My experience with them hasn't been great, same with a few other hotels I know of.
MrBigStuff.. DE huh? Didn't think very many people/places still use DE, maybe it's just gone by the wayside around here. Although I haven't heard of the Alternative DE you are using. I do know they filter real well, but the downside is/was the media. It can be messy.
