Electrolytic Chlorine Generators
Popular fad or technology trend?

By Connie Gibson Centrella

 

The growing use of Electrolytic Chlorine Generators (ECGs) in the public-pool sector is not a fad but a trend--one that has been spurred on by pool operators who have become increasingly aware of the documented benefits of this technology. The efficient and effective use of ECGs has proven not only to provide better water quality, but also to eliminate the dangerous effects of bulk chlorine handling.


Salt has played a major role throughout history for its medicinal properties. Over 2,000 years ago, Greek medicine discovered the topical use of salt for skin lesions and digestive troubles, and the inhaling of salt for respiratory diseases (Science Tribune, 1999). Bathing in a brine solution was increasingly used in the treatment of skin diseases like psoriasis, dermatitis, chronic eczema, as well as for arthritis. While these mixtures are a stronger saline solution than used in pool applications, the theory behind salt utilization in swimming-pool water provides insight into why the process is gaining acceptance.
