More control over water treatment
Let the salt chlorinator produce the pool's chlorine
Want to simplify part of your pool water treatment? A salt chlorinator produces chlorine from the salt in the pool water and can make everyday life more automated. At Pooltime, you will find several models from brands such as Zodiac and Albixon. Choose based on the size of your pool, the equipment, and how much measurement and control you want in the system.

Production in the pool system
Chlorine is formed in an electrolytic cell when salt water passes through it during operation.
Selectable level of automation
Compare the product's functions for regulation, measurement, and any accessories.
Models for different needs
Start with volume and operating conditions, and check what salt level the model requires.
A salt pool still means chlorine treatment
The difference lies in how the chlorine is added. A salt chlorinator produces it in the system, while other chlorine treatment relies on the agent being added separately. The pool is therefore not chlorine-free. You still need to monitor the water values, maintain the correct water balance, and take care of the filtration.
This makes the choice easier: look for the solution that suits your everyday life, not a promise that the pool will be maintenance-free. With the right equipment and settings, you can automate parts of the work while still retaining control over how the pool is maintained.
Choose capacity with your usage in mind
The pool volume is an important starting point, but how much you swim, the water temperature, and sunlight exposure also affect the need for water treatment. Compare the recommended pool volume and chlorine production for each model. Check what conditions the manufacturer bases the model on.
Also check the specified salt level. A low salt model and a model for a different salt level may place different demands on operation and additional equipment. Pumps, heaters, lighting, ladders, and other parts that come into contact with the water need to be suitable for the water environment you choose.
What level of automation do you want?
- Basic chlorine production: check how production is set and monitored.
- Measurement and regulation: see whether functions for, for example, pH or redox are included or require separate equipment.
- Control: compare the connections and control options supported by the current model.
- Service: plan access to the cell and sensors and check the maintenance procedures.
At Pooltime, you will find, for example, Zodiac EXO iQ, EXO iQ Low Salt, Zodiac eXPERT, as well as Albixon NEOSALT, HIDROLIFE, and OXILIFE. Compare the specific model and its contents; do not assume the same functions are included across the entire range.
Frequently asked questions before your purchase
Do I still need to test the water?
Yes. The salt chlorinator does not replace the need to check water values and maintain the correct water balance. Follow the instructions for the system and the pool.
Can all pools be converted into salt pools?
This needs to be assessed based on the entire system. Check that the pool's materials and all affected equipment can handle the model's salt level.
Is automatic pH regulation included?
It depends on the model and version. Read the product information and check which sensors, dosing functions, and accessories are included.
