Salt Water Generators
There has been a lot of talk of Salt Water Generators causing damage to swimming pool equipment. Salt Water Generators have been on the market for quite some time it is only recently when the Salt Chlorine Generators have been becoming more popular that there has been atack on these products. Salt Generators will not cause corrosion in your swimming pool. It has become a direct attack from other chemical manufacturers where the rumor has started. The problem that many people have is one metal being in direct contact with another different type of metal. For instanse if your stainlees steel pool product is screwed in with a non stainless steel screw the metals will start to corrode. If this is your case please ensure that your products have the same type of metals used in direct proximity. Pumps, Heaters, and Filters unless very old have the proper parts not to cause any type of corrosion problems. Click here for our Salt Chlroine Generator
