Chlor King
ChlorKing Incorporated, the leader in saline chlorination, is proud to introduce an exciting, safer and more economical way of maintaining swimming pool and spa water. This revolutionary method of water treatment has completely changed how pools and spas are maintained. No longer is it necessary to handle hazardous chemicals or struggle with large, bulky and heavy containers. The ChlorKing system totally eradicates the need to purchase expensive chlorine.
ChlorKing has developed a patented, on-site hypochlorite generator (chlorinator) that removes the need for expensive and potentially unsafe compounds. We manufacture, distribute, and install these generators as part of overall systems for the chlorination of all sizes of swimming pools and general industrial water treatment. The ChlorKing system has been effectively used in many applications abroad for over 20 years.
We are proud to announce that ChlorKing has received accreditation from the National Sanitation Foundation for all models of chlorinators that we manufacture. The registered NSF certification Mark on a pool, spa, or hot tub system component confirms that NSF has assessed – and certified – its conformity with the relevant section of NSF/ANSI standard 50 and UL 1081. In addition, NSF audits each authorized production facility to assure that certified products continue to comply with the appropriate requirements of the standard.
Audits Include:
Verification that only materials and components authorized are used in the fabrication of certified products.
Review of quality assurance and quality control procedures.
Verification that certified products are sampled and retested on schedule.
Verification that labeling and product literature are true and accurate with respect to the NSF Certification.
What is Saline Chlorination?
The decision to convert your pool to saline actually creates a much safer environment than with your old pool. Saline chlorination is a safer, more effective and environmentally friendly method for sanitizing swimming pools. South Africa, Canada and Australia have been using saline chlorination to sanitize swimming pools for over 20 years now.
Let me begin with a little history about chlorine. For nearly 200 years, chlorine has been produced through a method known as electrolysis. This technique involves the passage of an electric current through saline water to produce chlorine gas. All of the commercial chlorine production in the world uses the same basic technology as used in saline chlorinators. By using saline chlorination, you will actually be producing 100% pure chlorine for sanitizing your pool, as opposed to the chlorination methods you previously used.
Without getting too technical, let me try to explain how your new system works. To begin, pure non-iodized table salt, or sodium chloride, will be added directly into your swimming pool. As the saline pool water passes through the chlorine generating cell located in your pump room, electricity is applied to the metal plates inside the cell. As the low voltage electricity is applied to the saline water, this in turn produces the chlorine used to kill the bacteria and algae. Once the chlorine generated from the salt has killed the bacteria and germs, it reverts back to salt, and the process begins all over again. Occasionally, you will have to add more salt to replace what is lost to splash-out, overflow and filter back-washing. Unlike other chemicals which require that the pool be closed when it is added, salt can be safely poured directly into the pool while everyone is swimming.
The ChlorKing saline chlorination system will virtually eliminate the chloramines and other chlorine compounds so often associated with conventional methods. You will no longer experience the obnoxious side effects commonly associated with your old method of chlorination.
As for testing your swimming pool or spa water, the same test kit you are now using will allow you to test the water in the manner you have become comfortable with. Your chlorine residual, often referred to as FAC or Free and Available Chlorine, can be maintained by simple adjustments to your ChlorKing system.
Greetings and salutations! Please allow me give you a little insight into the money saving benefits of a saline chlorination system.
For decades, technicians and engineers have been using gas chlorine, granulated chlorine or liquid chlorine injection for water treatment when installing pools in hotels, communities and municipal equipment.
More recently, ozone technology has aroused certain interest. However, it has also been criticized due to its high purchase costs, maintenance costs and the need to add chemicals (commercial pools require a chlorine residual).
It is far more economical to produce chlorine on-site in the pool than to purchase chlorine. Significant cost savings can be achieved by owners of commercial pools and spas, water parks and other applications which consume large amounts of chlorine. On average, using the ChlorKing saline chlorination system can reduce running costs by up to 80% annually.
Is ChlorKing an economical system?
Yes. ChlorKing saline chlorination technology is the most economical system to run. It offers superior results at a lower cost than conventional chlorine. Our system reduces the need for the routine purchase, storage and addition of potentially hazardous chemicals, making your pool easy and inexpensive to maintain. The costs associated with running your saline chlorination system are also much lower than the alternatives.
Is there salt consumption?
There is very low salt consumption. The chemical reactions take place within a closed process in which no product is wasted away, it is simply used over and over again. Therefore, the concentration of salt remains constant apart from that which will be lost through backwashing, draining or heavy rain.
Isn't salt water corrosive?
It can be, but water with a saline concentration of about 5,000 ppm is hardly corrosive, so ChlorKing treated water has no damaging effects. That is a great advantage over gas, liquid and calcium hypochlorite chlorines that can indeed damage the equipment and surface of pools. Mildly saline water does not affect the PVC plumbing, filters or pumps of most brands.
