Salt water conversion

Salt water pool conversion in Jeddah

Softer-feeling water, steady chlorine levels and fewer chemical deliveries. We convert existing pools to salt chlorination and service salt systems so they keep working the way they should.

How a salt water pool works

A salt water pool is still a chlorine pool. A low concentration of salt, far less salty than the sea, is dissolved in the water, and an electrolytic cell turns it into chlorine as the water passes through. The chlorine sanitises the pool, then reverts to salt, and the cycle repeats.

Because chlorine is produced continuously, levels stay steadier than with manual dosing. Many swimmers find the water gentler on eyes and skin.

Things to know

Is salt right for your pool?

Salt systems are excellent for most Jeddah villa pools, but it is worth knowing what they need:

  1. 1pH tends to rise, so it still needs checking and adjusting.
  2. 2The cell scales up with calcium and must be cleaned regularly.
  3. 3Some natural stone and older metal fittings can be sensitive to salt.
  4. 4The cell is a consumable and will need replacing after several years.
  5. 5In summer, output and pump run time usually need to increase.

Servicing

Keeping your salt system working

The most common reason a salt pool turns green is a scaled or worn cell producing much less chlorine than the display suggests. We inspect the cell, measure salt and chlorine independently and clean the cell in a mild acid solution when needed.

If the cell or control unit has failed, we test it, source a compatible replacement and set it up correctly.

Frequently asked questions

Is a salt water pool chlorine-free?

No. A salt system makes chlorine from salt. The difference is that it is produced steadily inside the system instead of being added by hand.

Will the water taste salty?

Barely. Salt pools use a low concentration, far less than sea water. Most people only notice a slight softness.

How much does a salt conversion cost?

It depends on the pool volume and the system chosen. We quote after checking your pool and equipment.

Do salt systems damage pool equipment?

Not when correctly installed and balanced. We check that your heater, fittings and coping are suitable before converting.

How often does the salt cell need cleaning?

In Jeddah's hard water, typically every two to three months. We inspect it monthly as part of maintenance.

Can you repair my existing salt chlorinator?

Yes. We diagnose cells and control units and replace parts or the whole system if needed.
