A device, often web-based, that determines the amount of sodium chloride required to achieve a target salinity level in a swimming pool. For example, inputting pool volume and desired parts per million (ppm) of salt generates an output specifying the pounds or kilograms of salt needed.
Precise salt levels are critical for the efficient operation of salt chlorine generators, ensuring optimal chlorine production and sanitation. Maintaining proper salinity extends the lifespan of the generator cell, minimizes algae growth, and contributes to a more comfortable swimming experience. Historically, pool owners relied on trial and error, leading to imbalances and potential equipment damage; this technology provides a far more accurate and efficient alternative.
