COLONY POOL SERVICE, INC. wants you to know that you no longer have to rely on pool chemicals to sanitize your swimming pool. Saline pools employ common table salt as a natural, gentle cleanser. The process is as follows:

1. A pool would have common table salt poured for an average 22,000 to 25,000 gallon pool into the water
2. A salt chlorine generator installed within the pool's mechanical system then separates the salt molecules into sodium and chlorine.
3. The clorine dissolves instantaneously in the water to form hypochlorous acid, a gentle cleaning agent.
4. After the hypochlorus acid destroys the microorganisms, the sodium and chlorine revert back to salt, and the process repeats itself.

THE BENEFITS
Unlike seawater, saline pools contain less than a third to a little more than half the saltiness of human tears. The water is very mild and almost impossible for human taste buds to detect. Many compare the experience to that of taking a shower in soft water and find it smooth and refreshing, not drying to the skin or damaging. Saline is also environmentally friendly.

INSTALLATION
Colony Pool Service can intall a salt chlorine generator, even if you are just retrofitting an existing pool. Saltwater pools can be any shape or size, but porous stone must be sealed. We are highly trained in all aspects of saline systems so be sure to ask about further information regarding what salt chlorine generator is the best fit for you and its maintenance.
