How Salt Chlorine Generators Actually Work
00:00 - Intro
01:07 - Giving credit where credit is due
02:25 - Saltwater pools ARE chlorine pools
04:13 - Salt (NaCl) dissolves in water and the sodium (Na) separates from chloride (Cl-). That chloride is what the salt system converts into chlorine
04:43 - What a salt cell is and how it works
08:45 - Electrolysis converts 2Cl into Cl2, and Eric attempts to read through the three chemistry formulas in order...
13:51 - Because Hydrogen gas (H2) does not dissolve, it bubbles off and creates aeration, which leads carbon dioxide (CO2) to also leave, which raises the pH
17:00 - All of this chemistry depends on having enough conductivity in the water
17:49 - Two factors drive conductivity: water temperature and salinity
22:45 - Summary of the episode in just 3 breaths. Thanks for listening!
