So, this creates chlorine with the titanium and copper plates.... how is it different than adding chlorine to a pool?

The titaniun creates pure chlorine the copper creates copper which is a algaecide. Copper in too high a concentration can turn blonde hair green visit troublefreepool.com for more info. The copper electrode can be disabled to avoid to much copper generation

When chlorine is added to the water, it mixes with organic matter -- sweat, saliva, dandruff, urine -- and turns into other chemicals, including chloramines. After chlorine kills contaminates in the water, more chlorine is needed to burn the chloramines out of the water. A pool's chlorine smell means chloramines are airborne and the pool needs to be maintained. Saltwater generators deliver a constant stream of chlorine, making chloramines less of an issue, which is good news for a swimmer's skin or eyes as it is less harsh. I only notice the difference in the overall smell of the pool and less redness of my eyes from swimming in a traditional pool vs. saltwater. And the salt levels are so low, you really dont even notice much difference in taste of water.

It's chlorinating granules for pools and hot tubs , it a sanitizer to keep the water disinfectant for bacteria, it is something you have to have in unless you want a bromine product.

Im sorry, I really dont know the answer to your question. I ordered this product for my son...for his pool! Hope you can find the answer you are looking for.

I have no idea. It's basically the same chlorine, &ct.; you put in pools mixed with a little Oxyclean. I find the tablets rather expensive, so I now go out and get bromine tablets from the pool supply people at 10th the price and have almost no odor and work just as well. I believe that the contents of either tablet simply dissipate into the atmosphere, the same way that chemicals in a swimming pool would, for good or bad...your decision. However the two tablets you put into the dispenser lasts me about 3 months and weighs about 2 ounces. Don't believe that has any serious consequences, but that's up to you. I would use far more than that in household cleaners over that same period. I have no idea. It's basically the same chlorine, &ct.; you put in pools mixed with a little Oxyclean.

I don't know. I will say this: I thought it worked great in my regular tub and someone recently told me to get chlorine test strips from a pool supply place - said she tested this and it did nothing. I've been using mine, thinking it removed the chlorine, etc. and now I want to test it! If it does work, great. If not, I'm going to be quite upset that I soaked extra long in the tub so often, believing I was not soaking up toxic chlorine!!!!!

We have a salt water pool and have had no problems at all! However one of our neighbors ended up getting some special screws-I believe they were some form of acrylic. They have a chlorine pool. I hope this helps. Tiffany

My understanding is that the mineral reservoirs are specific to above ground or in ground, not the chlorine bottles. The chlorine bottles should work in both above or in ground pool mineral reservoirs (and as others have said, gray/white seems to be more a picture quality issue on the site, as I've only seen white as well).

The chlorine container shud sink to the bottom of the pool near the pool drain. It works using the pool water circulation ...

don't know..... but i do know i put the chlorine in the automatic one and it chlorines my pool.it works and it does a great job...Hope this helps...

Get a Copper Ionization System and you will not get algae unless you let the copper get low. No chlorine! I have had mine for 20 years and we really like ours. Extremely easy to take care of.

honestly, i don't know !!! i just fill it to a certain level for my grand-kids, and they have a ball.a add chlorine,and shock to the water to keep it clean.

Yes, you do have to add it. I didn't know that at first and so I didn't add it and the pool turned green. Cyanuric acid keeps the chlorine that is generated from evaporating right away, so that it can do its job of sanatizing.

i usually use chlorine tabs in a floating dispenser. I don't know anything about salt water pools.

My guess is that these are probably somewhat arbitrary claims as the lifespan of the filter is likely dependent on the chlorine content of the water, the hardness of the water etc. I'm no engineer but this probably works by chemical reaction of copper (in filter) and its capturing of chlorine molecules (and others?) somehow...the more chlorine you have, more copper neutralized in the process...? Anyway, I find my filters to last at least six months and seem to be effective for almost a year...

My intex pro series metal frame pool rusted after one summer. Unfortunately the salt water system will rust metal. I plan to purchase a total resin pool which is made for salt water. But in the meantime I will use the metal frame until it gives way from rust. Best of luck

I use Bromine in a floater because I don't like Chlorine or salt. Yes, you can use a salt watersystem. Remember to drain and clean pool and system completely if you change from onesystem to another.

Never add water to pool chemicals. The explosion potential, particularly between Calcium Hypochlorite or Ca(OCl)2 (shock) andTrichlor or Trichloro-s-triazinetrione (3" tabs) in the presence of a small amount of water is demonstrated here: http://www.chemaxx.com/pool_chemical_explosion.htm
