The GLX-CELL-15-W is designed to streamline pool sanitation using salt water chlorination. It works by converting dissolved salt into free chlorine through an electrolysis process, which then sanitizes your pool water efficiently. This unit typically handles pools with capacities up to 40,000 gallons.

How It Works

1. Saltwater Input: Your pool, containing a measured amount of salt, is circulated through the system.

2. Electrolysis Process: Inside the GLX-CELL-15-W, an electrical current passes through the saltwater. This triggers the conversion of salt (sodium chloride) into chlorine.

3. Free Chlorine Output: The newly generated chlorine then dissolves uniformly throughout the pool, sanitizing the water by neutralizing contaminants and harmful microorganisms.

Installation & Maintenance Insights

• Installation: The cell is typically integrated into the pool’s plumbing system. Its 15-foot cable aids in flexible placement within the designated chlorinator housing. Always follow the manufacturer’s installation manual to ensure proper alignment and electrical safety.

• Maintenance Tips:

  • Regular Inspection: Periodically check for calcium or mineral buildup on the cell plates. Such scaling can reduce efficiency.

  • Cleaning: When scale buildup is detected, a controlled cleaning process (often an acid wash as per manufacturer guidelines) can restore optimal function.

  • Salt & Chlorine Levels: Maintain recommended salt concentration levels in your pool. Monitoring the free chlorine output will also help identify if any maintenance is needed on the cell.

• Troubleshooting:

  • If you notice inadequate chlorine levels despite proper salt concentrations, the cell might be suffering from buildup or aging.

  • Ensure that electrical connections are secure and that the power supply adheres to specifications.

Broader Context: Salt Water Chlorination

Using a salt chlorination system like the one involving the GLX-CELL-15-W offers several long-term benefits:

• Consistent Sanitization: The continual generation of chlorine means your pool remains consistently sanitized without the need for daily chemical dosing.

• Softer Water Feel: Saltwater pools tend to be gentler on the skin, eyes, and hair.

• Environmental & Cost Benefits: Reducing or eliminating the need for handling traditional chemical chlorine can lead to safer operations and potential cost savings over time.

Imagine your pool as a living system where every component—from circulation to sanitation—plays a role in ensuring a refreshing swimming experience. The GLX-CELL-15-W is a crucial part of that system, quietly working to maintain crystal-clear water so you can focus on relaxation and enjoyment.
