Enjoy softer, more stable water without the chore of manually adding chlorine, at the best price guaranteed.
What is a pool salt system?
A salt system transforms salt dissolved in water into chlorine through electrolysis, automatically and continuously. The result: crystal-clear water, gentle on skin and eyes, without having to handle chlorine every week. The salt is recycled in a loop, which reduces maintenance and stabilizes water chemistry all season long.
Why switch to salt?
-
Softer, more comfortable water: less irritation to eyes and skin.
-
Less maintenance: automatic and constant chlorine production.
-
Long-term savings: no more repeated purchases of chlorine tablets.
-
More stable water: fewer chlorine spikes, more pleasant swimming.
Which salt system should you choose?
The right model mainly depends on the volume of your pool (in liters) and the type of pool (inground or above ground). We offer the best brands on the market:
-
Hayward AquaRite & AquaRite XL — the reliable benchmark for inground pools.
-
Pentair iChlor / IntelliChlor — smart and compact chlorination.
-
Moov JustSalt & MiniSalt — excellent chlorinators for 50,000 to 130,000 L.
-
Zodiac and replacement cells to extend the life of your system.
Tip: choose a device whose capacity exceeds the actual volume of your pool for better cell longevity.

Frequently asked questions
Does a saltwater pool contain chlorine?
Yes. The system itself produces chlorine from salt: it's automatic chlorination, not a "chlorine-free" pool. The difference is a more stable level and softer water.
How much salt is needed?
This depends on the model, but generally, we're talking about a target level specified by the manufacturer (often around 3,000 to 3,500 ppm). Our team will tell you the exact quantity based on your water volume.
Does a salt system damage the pool?
No, when the water is well balanced. Good pH maintenance and the use of a sequestrant as needed protect your equipment and surfaces.
Can a chlorine pool be converted to a saltwater pool?
Yes, it's very common. Simply install a chlorinator suitable for your volume and add salt. We'll assist you with the conversion.
