Salt Water Swimming Pool Chlorinators Perth

Warm Springs Pool and Spa Repairs

0409 874 343

I have a salt water pool chlorinator in Perth and it is an absolute dream.  I don't have to worry about mixing chemicals or chlorine as the pool creates its own chlorine from salt in the pool.  I only have to put bags of salt in my pool.

Having said that, chlorinators do not last for ever and I have just recently had to replace mine.  Warm Springs Pool And Spa Repairs can supply, install or repair your salt water pool chlorinator.

How do swimming pool chlorinators work?

Chlorinators work by exploiting basic chemistry. Get a full run down on the chemistry involved.

How much salt does my chlorinator require?

This will depend greatly on the size of your pool but for an average size pool you will require about 7 x 20kg bags of salt to get started and then about 1 bag per month.

Where should I buy salt from?

You can buy salt from any reputable swimming pool supply store in Perth but Bunnings sells salt at a very reasonable price and they usually have it out the front so it is easy to load into your car.

How much does pool salt cost?

A 20kg bag of salt will cost between $7 and $12 depending on where you purchase it from.

What is the best way to test my salt levels?

Aqua Chek provide a fantastic test strip for testing the salt levels in your pool.  You can purchase these from pool stores or from Bunnings.

Do I need to service my pool chlorinator?

Usually no.  Your chlorinator should run trouble free for 10 to 15 years.  However if you do have problems you will need to call a qualified technician to come and help.

I was wondering if I could organise a time/day with you to get a quote on repairing a Hurlcon VX 13S salt chlorinator?

I have a Saltigem chlorinator system with a Halcyon pump and I have two problems that have cropped up. The first is that the chlorinator needs repair/replacement - I keep getting low conductivity errors (I've checked the salt levels and all appears within normal). I took the unit apart to clean it and noticed that the zinc cathode is quite corroded, which may explain why it's not working.

The more pressing problem I have is that my pump has been resetting and I've been getting a "no flow/gas in system" warning. I can't seem to narrow down the issue - as best I can tell the water is circulating normally in the pool and through the pump when it's on and I can't see any build-up of air in any of the visible parts of the pump.

I'm in Carlisle Perth Western Australia.
