  Saline Pools

  Most "saline pools" use an electrolysis device that converts the NaCl in the water into Chlorine (and Na2). I believe, like ozone, it reverts back to NaCl when it is done oxidizing the bad stuff. When used in combination with ozone (like in Del Ozone's TrioPure) it is an extremely effective sanitation system and vastly better than a chlorinated pool. Usually the salt levels are below the taste threshold.On Umbra on chlorine posted 2 years, 8 months ago 13 Responses

  Danger of Chlorine

  Hello Umbra!

  Did you know that the US chlorine industry is a major source of mercury emissions? You can find out all about this in a report by  Oceana.

  I used to work as an engineer in the ozone generator industry and have performed a material intensity analysis (using an LCA tool called MIPS)on ozone generation vs. chlorine in pool sanitation. The ozone comes out far ahead in the numbers but does even better in the qualitative results. You don't even know it's there, and when it's done oxidizing the "bather load" it simply turns back into O2.

  Cheers!

  Pablo
