How we repair your Pool Chlorinator/Salt System
A pool chlorinator or salt system produces chlorine automatically, either by electrolysis of salt water in a cell or by dissolving chlorine tablets in a feeder. A pool chlorinator/salt system usually combines a heater, pumps, filters, sanitizing systems and a control panel with sensors, often outdoors and near water. A technician checks power and safety switches, water flow, heating and sensors, and inspects for leaks and corrosion.
