Water Treatment & Sanitization
Automatic feeders, salt chlorine generators, UV, and ozone each have different jobs. We can review existing equipment and discuss adding, repairing, or replacing treatment systems suited to your pool.
Automatic chlorine feeders
Feeders can automate the addition of chlorine. The type of chlorine used matters: repeated use of stabilized trichlor tablets adds cyanuric acid to the water, which needs to be monitored over time.
Salt chlorine generators
A salt system generates chlorine from salt dissolved in pool water. It offers another way to supply chlorine automatically; it does not make a pool chlorine-free.
UV treatment
As water passes through a UV chamber, properly delivered ultraviolet light can inactivate microorganisms. UV treats water inside the unit and leaves no sanitizer residual in the pool.
Ozone treatment
Ozone introduced into a treatment system helps oxidize contaminants and inactivate microorganisms. It is short-lived and does not replace a lasting sanitizer residual throughout the pool.
The important distinction: UV and ozone can supplement a pool's sanitation system, while chlorine provides a measurable residual in the pool water. Product choice, system sizing, water flow, and maintenance all affect results. We will discuss the tradeoffs for your particular pool.
