Once your salt water pool is up and running, it is critical that you take care of it. By adding simple chemicals to your water, like Sparkle Salt Quest or Poolife Cell Protect, you can extend the life of your chlorine generator. All salt cells require cleaning at least once during the pool season, and at the end of the season. Soaking you generator cells in a mild bath of vinegar and water, you can clean off any calcification that may have built up during use.
Proper chemical balance of your pool water is also a big factor in the operation of your salt generator cell. A slightly lower than normal alkalinity and pH are necessary due to the positive effects of the chlorine generation process. Just ask your water test specialist at the store what levels would be good for your pool.
Remember to maintain the appropriate salt levels required by your generator manufacturer. Always use High Quality salt that is as pure as you can find. It is also recommended to use a slat that has additives such as stain fighters. These stain fighters help in protecting your pool surfaces from staining caused by the electrolysis in the salt cell.
Proper use and maintenence of your salt generator will guarantee long life and quality chlorine generation for year.

Memorial Day is here!
Well, another Memorial Day has snuck up on us. Make sure to stop by Chemex Pools this week to get your pool up and running. A shock treatment and some algaecide will go a long way to help clean up a pool that has turned to "The Dark Side" over the long winter months. After the pool has been running for 24-48 hours, bring us a water sample and we will balance the pool chemically to insure your sanitizers will function to their ultimate. Give us call at the store or ask us a question here on the blog.
