Questions & Answers
How salty is the water?
Approximately one-ninth (1/9th) as salty as sea water,
or just half as salty as your own tears. Do your own
taste test - add half an ounce of salt to a gallon of
fresh water. you will find that the salinity
is very mild and the water pleasant to taste.
Will the salt corrode my pool or the pool equipment?
No. The salt level is not sufficiently high to create
a corrosion problem. The salinity is similar to that
of eye-wash solutions (very mild). If corrosion was
a problem, ECO-MATIC simply could not have
enjoyed worldwide success since 1976.
Will I need to change my pool water?
In most cases, no. We only encourage changing the water
if its hardness and dissolved solids level suggest that
it should be changed anyway (if it already has too much
"gunk" in it).
Can existing pools (and spas) be converted to ECO-MATIC?
Yes. Virtually any existing new pool or spa can easily
be converted to the salt water system, without the need
to alter the pump or filter equipment.
How easy is it to install ECO-MATIC?
Installation usually takes 1 - 2 hours. ECO-MATIC
hardware is mounted near the filter equipment
(no components and no electrics need to be attached
inside the pool). Existing pool equipment need not be
altered. Many pool owners install ECO-MATIC themselves.
How often do I need to add salt?
Salt is addded at the time of installation. After that,
only top-up salt needs to be added, to make up for salt
lost due to splash-out, filter back-flushing, leaks in
the pool etc. Your ECO-MATIC will automatically
indicate when salt is needed
(on average, 2 or 3 times per year).
Does ECO-MATIC effect the pH?
The ECO-MATIC process is close to pH-neutral and
therefore has less effect on pH than does most
"pool chlorine". The pH must be controlled, as
before, and is influenced mostly by the Total
Alkalinity of
the water (as is the case with any pool or spa).
Can I measure ECO-MATIC'S effectiveness?
Yes. Unlike some other so-called "alternatives",
ECO-MATIC'seffectiveness can be measured using
normal pool Test Kits - providing you with the
assurance that your pool/spa water is healthy
and safe for
swimming.
Will I need to increase pump operating time?
No. ECO-MATIC comes in various sizes, to suit
your pool size and normally recommended filter
operation times.
What warranties come with ECO-MATIC?
Our realistic warranties ensure that your ECO-MATIC
will not let you down. Ask your local Dealer for
details of warranties, extended warranty and our
MONEY-BACK Guarantee.
Why have I not previously heard of the salt water system?
Reluctance to change age-old chemical habits has the
USA pool industry lagging behind the countries where
natural salt dominates pool and spa water purification.
At last, the trend away from packaged chemicals
is now well under way in the USA.
What are the disadvantages of ECO-MATIC?
We can't think of any. Some pool owners have initial
doubts about swimming in mild sat water, but inevitably
it IS the fantastic feeling of the water which ECO-MATIC
owners like most. (You must also be
prepared for frequent visits from friends and neighbors
who still have "chemical" pools).
