4 Types of Chlorine | Saltwater Pools

This episode and the next three are an overview of chemistry considerations and Orenda recommendations for how to manage pool chemistry based on its primary chlorine. Today, Eric and Jarred are back in the rumor mines, chipping away at salt pools. A common misconception is that a salt pool doesn't use chlorine. But, salt pools are chlorine pools. The chlorine is just generated on-site. These types of pools have different chemistry needs from pools that rely on bleach or cal hypo for sanitation. Our hosts will explain every grain. BE AWARE! Different types of chlorine are volatile if exposed to each other. They can cause fires and literally explode. Never store two different types of chlorine in the same enclosed area. When handling chlorine, always follow manufacturer instructions and exercise caution.
