HTH Dry Chlorine

The system of electrolysis of salt has been around for some time. Historically the system works by having an anode and cathode electrically charged in a brine solution. The hypochlorous acid that is produced is then discharged into the pool.

The system is heavy on maintenance and comparatively costly to operate over a period of time.

The total dissolved solids level must be monitored. The idea of using salt to generate chlorine is fascinating but drawbacks are inevitable.

The chart below compares hth with salt generation

HTH FEATURE	HTH ADVANTAGE	HTH BENEFIT
Concentrated dry product (68% available chlorine, typical)	No expensive equipment required > safe product without hydrogen gas formation > compact product > no expensive probes involved	Significant financial savings > significant safety comparison > better administration > huge savings in ongoing costs
Stable product	Consisten dosing	Savings on amount of sanitiser used
Calcium based	Improves water quality and boosts hardness > reduces corrosion and provides protective scale > enhances pool water appearance and clarity > no problems in hard water	Extends life of plant, equipment, pipes and grouting > improves bather comfort and water appearance > satisfied bathers > hth benefits enjoyed
Low salt content	Low TDS experienced in pool > low corrosion in plant	Bather comfort increased > savings on maintenance and replacement of plant
Manufactured by Arch Chemicals Inc.	Product quality assurance	More pools are sanitised world wide with hth than any other sanitiser brand > free technical support > the industry's best distributor network
