So, What Makes the Sun-Chlor Solar-Powered Pool Chlorinator Unique?
Unlike conventional saltwater generators which requires installation into the pool’s circulatory system and electrical power to operate, the Sun-Chlor Chlorinator requires no installation and no electrical connections. The Sun-Chlor harnesses the power of the sun with its hardy solar panel, converting it into energy to power the premium-quality electrode for electrolysis. The unit simply just floats on the water surface and produces chlorine from the salt that has been added in the pool. Simple and convenient!
Sun-Chlor Solar-Powered Pool Chlorinator Benefits:
- Automatic chlorine production during daylight hours.
- It requires no installation.
- Is not dependent on the pool pump operating for chlorine to be produced, unlike in-line salt chlorinator systems.
- Not reliant on the national power grid to operate, during day-time load shedding Sun-Chlor continues to produce chlorine.
- Works during cloudy weather conditions too although the chlorine output will be reduced.
- Energy saving system.
- Easy, effective and economical.
Sun-Chlor Solar-Powered Pool Chlorinator Models
SUN-CHLOR P-10 – for pools up to 25 000 Litres
SUN-CHLOR P-20 – for pools up to 45 000 Litres
SUN-CHLOR P-30 – for pools up to 65 000
Please Note: For pools that are heated by solar or heat-pumps and very close to the maximum volume that the Sun-Chlor device can chlorinate, it is strongly recommended to select the model size up. This is to ensure that the pool will be chlorinated adequately.
For every 4 degrees rise in pool water temperature, a swimming pool will require between 50 - 80% additional chlorine to sanitise effectively.
Sea Salt has a range of intelligent saltwater chlorinators – perfect for new or existing filtration systems.

How does Sea Salt work?
Quite simply, your pool’s saltwater is converted into chlorine molecules through a process of electrolytic-chlorination when it comes into contact with the Sea Salt patented electrode cell. The chlorine molecules sanitise the pool water and converts back to salt. This process is repeated and requires only a small amount of salt to be added periodically.

Chlorinators use electrolysis to sanitise your swimming pool, by passing salt water through an electrolytic cell which converts chloride contained in the salt water into chlorine
A chlorinator is an Appliance like any other Appliance within your household. It has to be treated and cared for as you would you washing machine, tumble drier, fridge, etc, they all have a specific function and run off electricity, JUST like ours!.
The pH is an important part of water chem
istry. The effectiveness of the Sanitiser you are using depends largely on the pH of your swimming pool water. However, the TOTAL ALKALINTY of your pool plays a large part in how stable the pH will be. It is a known industry fact that Total Alkalinity keeps the pH from fluctuating high or low; commonly know as “bounce”.
The chlorine gas produced by the chlorinator needs protection from the ultra violet rays of the sun. In the absence of Stabiliser, the chlorine produced will be rapidly dissipated into the atmosphere, giving the impression of zero chlorine reading in the water. Adding the right amount of stabiliser will enhance the effectiveness of your pool sanitizer. Stabiliser effectively prolongs the active life of the produced chlorine, allowing sanitization to take place.
After the initial dosing of salt and Stabiliser, top up quantities should only be required when the pool water is diluted with fresh water. This will only occur after rain, or additions of water by the pool owner. Test your pool water for salt and Stabiliser (ISO Cyanuric Acid) levels before adding these two chemicals. Other chemicals should be added as indicated by pool chemical test. Pool chemical status should be checked at least once a week during summer months. All chemicals should be added in small quantities, checking the chemical change after each addition. Following this procedure saves using excess chemicals and the problems associated with correcting such errors.
The advantage of a chlorinator is that the chlorine produced inside the chlorinator cells is pure chlorine. This allows you to eliminate the fillers and additives in over-the-counter chlorine that usually irritate your skin and eyes.
Models
J100 Standard
This unit is designed to operate in one direction (unidirectional), the electrode will have to be cleaned on a regular basis. J100 units are for pools with a volume up to 60 000 litres in capacity.
J100 Self Cleaning
Self Cleaners operate on a reverse polarity process (bidirectional) utilising the main pump timer to facilitate this switching process, namely; every time the timer switches OFF the pump and chlorinator, the chlorinator internally changes its polarity and on re-energisation for the next cycle, operates in reverse cycle. This process facilitates the self cleaning process. During this cycle, one will observe that the calcium built up (white chalky deposit) on the one set of electrode plates, will be shed and seemingly transposed onto the opposing set of plates.
J200 Standard
J200 Units are typically used for pools that have a volume of between 60 000 and 120 000 litres in capacity. This unit is designed to operate in one direction (unidirectional), the electrode will have to be cleaned on a regular basis
