I had been searching for further reviews of salt chlorine generators for their effectiveness in swimming pool use. I have read from other reviews that for commercial pools, this type of equipments are not effective thus are only being utilized for home personal use. Has any of the readers have any experience with this?

Thank you for explaining Chloramines, I was confused when it was mentioned by a friend of mine. I think I may stay away from them, but I feel better informed. Thanks again!

There are several inaccurate comments being posted.
1) Ionization does not work on indoor pools. If it did, you would see them on large numbers of pools.
2) Chlorine free pools, Hmmm. No such thing for commercial pools. Salt water pools do, and will have chlorimines, even more, than chlorinated pools. Just like ionization, if salt generators made sense, and were a better option than good old chlorine, the generators would take over the industry.
3) You can get rid of, or lower to respectable levels, chloramines in pools. You have to eliminate, or reduce to legal levels, both organic and inorganic
combined chlorine. Have a combined chlorine problem?
4) Algae problems can be a complex issue. The best, and most common method is to raise your chlorine level to 3-5 ppm. Keep your cyanuric acid level under 50 ppm. Keep your TDS 1500 ppm under the source water and not over 2000 ppm.

Hey Denis… I have always heard that to much solids in water is not a good thing. You have to keep on shocking a pool that constantly is having solids added to it. Liquid cl2 is a good alternative to use or even salt generated systems.

Denis,
Have you considered ionization? It works great for indoor pools, no vaporization of chlorine, no smell. Chemical free.

Try placing some safety cover cover in your pool. That way it can protect it form something unusual.

ive been involved in a indoor waterpark , we frequently experience heavy bather loads , and have been fighting chloramines on a more frequent level . use clarifier if you have an algae problem , shock the pool first with at least enough to have a 2.2 ppm . then 12 hrs later throw in double the ammount of clarifier then recomended . it will keep the organics low and youll have a nice healthy pool….
atmm were looking to install a uv system..more on that after we have it running for at least a month or so…

Have you ever tried this Pool Magic product, Its fantastic for removing algae and you can either use minimal chlorine or some other oxidiser. Maintains the swimming pool to a very high standard at low cost and great convenience in time and chemical saving. try it……………..

We have serious problems with two things:
1) Algae keeps coming back despite ever-other-day brushing and vacuuming.
2) Our pool does not retain chlorine at all.
Also a question: has any of you heard about Ahh-some water clarifier? If so, what has been your experience with it?
Thanks,
Geronimo in SoCal.
