Saltwater pool maintenance: fewer chemicals, more savings

Saltwater pools have gained ground in Girona and Costa Brava, both for private use and in communities and hotels. As sector specialists, at Piscines Ramser we explain how to optimize their maintenance and the differences compared to traditional systems.

What is a saltwater pool?

The saltwater pool system uses a salt chlorinator to naturally produce chlorine from the dissolved salt in the water. This process guarantees continuous disinfection, without having to add chlorine manually. The result: soft water, less irritation, and a more natural swimming experience.

It is true that the initial cost of a saltwater pool is higher compared to traditional pools. However, these costs are offset by savings in maintenance in the medium and long term.

The main advantage is the reduced management of chemical products, which can pose a risk during handling. In saltwater pools, chlorine generation is continuous, reducing the storage and management of dangerous products. Hence, the economic savings in the medium and long term, as chemical products do not have to be purchased constantly.

Maintenance of saltwater pools

At Piscines Ramser, we suggest maintenance for saltwater pools that includes aspects such as:

• Periodically checking the salt concentration
• Cleaning the chlorinator cells to ensure optimal chlorine production
• pH control, which tends to increase in saltwater pools
• In winter, carrying out circuit cleans, chemical adjustments, and checking the general system to ensure equipment durability

If you have a saltwater pool, now is the time to carry out a maintenance review. This will ensure perfect preservation for the next swimming season. At Piscines Ramser, we will inform you without obligation. Contact us now through our website forms.
