System Comparison Basics

Both systems sanitize, but management differs

Core Difference

  • Salt systems generate chlorine on site through the cell.
  • Tab systems feed stabilized chlorine through a feeder.
  • Both require balanced water and documented testing.

Coach Note

  • Do not assume salt means maintenance free.
Narration Transcript

Both systems sanitize water, but they deliver chlorine in different ways. Salt and non-salt systems both rely on proper chemistry and circulation. The difference is chlorine delivery method and side effects such as CYA rise from tablets or salt and cell maintenance needs. In field terms, focus on one step at a time, use the checklist, and write clear notes before leaving.
