What does salt water Magic do?
Liquid Salt Water Magic is designed for use both at Chlorine Generator System Start-Up and as part of the Monthly Maintenance Kit. Salt Water Magic removes the limiting nutrient for algae growth (phosphates) and organic contaminants from pool water.
Are salt water generators worth it?
Salt systems will save you a ton of money on chemicals in the long run. While it is true that you will save money by not having to buy nearly as much chlorine, those savings are negated by the initial costs of buying the system, and the cost of replacing the cell every 5-7 years.
How much salt water is in the world?
One estimate of global water distribution
| Water source | Water volume, in cubic miles | Percent of total water |
|---|---|---|
| Saline | 3,088,000 | 0.93 |
| Soil Moisture | 3,959 | 0.001 |
| Ground Ice & Permafrost | 71,970 | 0.022 |

How long do salt generators last?
3-7 years
A well-maintained salt chlorine generator will last 3-7 years. Replacing the salt cell costs $700-$1100. Replacing the control board costs $500-$900. You can extend the lifespans by maintaining a consistent salt level, cleaning the cell only when needed, and using the reverse polarity function.
What’s better salt or chlorine pool?
One of the major benefits of saltwater systems is that they have significantly lower levels of chlorine than traditional chlorine systems and don’t require harsh chemicals. As a result, the water is gentler on your skin, eyes and hair, and it does not fade swimwear or towels the way that chlorine pools do.
How much does a salt water generator cost?
Yes, salt water generators do cost a good bit of money upfront. The average system is typically anywhere from $1,400–$2,000. Look at it this way: swimming pool owners who use salt, in many cases, will spend less than $100 a year on chemicals.
Is it better to have a saltwater pool or chlorine?
Is salt water pool cheaper than chlorine?
Chlorine pools are more traditional and are also cheaper than most saltwater pools. However, they can be more difficult to maintain over time. Because there is no generator making chlorine, you will need to add chlorine into the pool on your own.
Should I remove salt cell for winter?
It is best practice to remove your salt cell during the colder winter months. By removing your cell, you limit the potential damage that may occur to the unit during cold or freezing temperatures. The cold water and temperatures can damage the plates and stop the salt cell from functioning as intended.
What is at bottom of Dead Sea?
These are freshwater springs, jetting into the bottom of the Dead Sea from inside craters. Found as deep as 100 feet from the surface, the springs lie at the base of craters as large as 50 feet wide and 65 feet deep. As can be seen, a variety of interesting geological formations surround them.
