Serving Santa Clarita & Surrounding Areas

How Salt Systems Work

Gentle, consistent chlorination from dissolved salt

Saltwater chlorination uses a generator cell with coated titanium plates to convert dissolved salt into pure chlorine through electrolysis. The chlorine sanitizes the water and then reverts back to salt, creating a steady, low-dose production cycle that maintains clear, safe water with fewer harsh odors and less handling of traditional chemicals.

With typical salt levels around 3,000–3,500 ppm, water feels silky and is easier on eyes, skin, hair, and swimsuits. Because chlorine is produced continuously while the pump runs, free chlorine stays stable, reducing peaks and valleys common with tablets or shock and helping protect surfaces and equipment when chemistry is balanced.

Right-sized equipment, clean plumbing, and smart controls

Special Pro Pools sizes your salt system at 1.5–2x your pool’s volume to ensure ample production during hot weather and heavy swim loads. We place the cell after the filter and heater for best water quality, adhere to proper straight-pipe lengths for the flow switch, add check valves when needed to safeguard heaters, and use unions for easy service access.

Our technicians handle safe electrical connections, bonding, and interlocking with your circulation pump so the cell powers only when water is moving. We integrate with automation for set-it-and-forget-it control, provide owner training on runtime and output settings, and support leading brands with factory-authorized components and warranty guidance.

Keep your generator efficient and your water balanced

Routine care extends cell life and keeps water pristine. We verify salt at 3,000–3,500 ppm, maintain pH 7.4–7.8, total alkalinity 60–80 ppm, stabilizer (CYA) 60–80 ppm, and free chlorine 3–5 ppm. We inspect the cell every 2–3 months, gently remove scale with manufacturer-approved descalers only when needed, and adjust pump runtime/output seasonally. Many systems reduce or pause production in cold water—this is normal.

If you see “low salt,” “low flow,” or “check cell” alerts, our diagnostics isolate the cause—anything from a clogged filter or air leak to a worn flow switch or power board issue. Special Pro Pools repairs or replaces faulty components, re-plumbs for correct flow, updates firmware where applicable, and verifies production with on-site testing before we leave.

For severe staining or algae remediation, instead of an acid wash, Special Pro Pools offers chlorine wash and complete pool startup. We reset water balance, fine-tune LSI, and dial in salt system output so your pool returns to safe, sparkling, and swim-ready condition.
