Salt electrolysis has many qualities and provides a appreciated service, but it should be noted that this system has certain constraints that must be taken into account.
First and foremost, the cost of purchasing the device.
Although, in use, salt electrolysis is financially very advantageous since no other additional product is needed; the initial investment is significant.
In addition to special salt and the device with its installation, it is highly recommended to install an automatic pH regulator.
Indeed, the sodium hydroxide produced for water disinfection significantly affects the pH.
The cell is essential for the operation of the device.
If it is dirty or scaled, electrolysis cannot perform its function.
Therefore, it must be cleaned regularly or an electrolysis with self-cleaning by polarity inversion must be purchased.
In any case, it needs to be replaced after a few years of service, costing between 200 and 500 euros.
Salt electrolysis does not tolerate cold water.
Therefore, the device must be restarted or winterized when the water reaches 12/15°C (depending on the models).
If swimming is planned all year round, a pool heat pump will be necessary.
The slightly salty taste may cause discomfort for some people.
Salt electrolysis is a device that facilitates pool water treatment, relieves the homeowner of a number of tasks, and improves bathing quality.
However, certain checks and cleaning of the pool should not be overlooked for proper equipment operation.
