INTRODUCTION

TechniChlor is a semi-automated, salt water chlorine generation system specifically designed for portable spas up 

to 1000 Gallons.  TechniChlor generates chlorine from a small amount of ordinary salt (Sodium Chloride, NaCl) 

dissolved in the spa water.  The amount of salt added is very small in relation to the volume of the water in the spa.  

It’s about 90% less concentration than ocean water and below the typical taste level of most humans.

  

The small addition of salt also benefits users by providing a softening effect on the water, leaving hair and skin feel

-

ing smoother and healthier than with traditional sanitizing products.  Only 2.5 cups of salt per 100 gallons of water 

is all it takes for TechniChlor to produce fresh, pure chlorine leaving your water clean and clear day after day.
