[QUOTE="xumbug, post: 77613, member: 707"] Salt water chlorinators are a very controversial topic. I will give some background! Firstly, you have two electrodes - one is anode and the other is cathode, the chemical reaction that takes place is actually very dangerous and i would personally not use one in a pool that has children swimming in it. The electrodes take the brine solution and turn it into 3 byproduct chemicals (chlorine, hydrogen and costic soda) I studied chemical engineering for 7 years at the then old AECI and worked on their Chlorine Coalplex plant which manufactured chlorine gas in the exact same manner. Anyone that has a chlorinator in their pool should drain their pool at least once a year as a result of the build up of costic soda in the water. You must also consider that if chlorine gas gets in-hailed into the lungs, it mixes with the water in your lungs and turns into hydrochloric acid :o Stu [/QUOTE]
