The Chlorine Genie: Different Approach to Salt Chlorine Generation

Send us Fan Mail Episode #81 – The Chlorine Genie: A Different Approach to Salt Chlorine Generation What if you could enjoy the benefits of salt chlorination without adding thousands of parts per million of salt directly to the pool? In Episode #81, Lauren Broom sits down with Patrick Lajoie to explore the innovative Chlorine Genie system and how it differs from traditional salt chlorine generators. Learn how this unique technology generates chlorine from a separate brine tank rather than the pool water itself, helping reduce the amount of salt added to the pool while delivering a consistent chlorine residual. Patrick also discusses the system's self-cleaning design, simplified maintenance, pH management capabilities, and how steady chlorine production can improve water quality and reduce chemical fluctuations. Whether you're a pool professional or a homeowner interested in alternative sanitization technologies, this episode offers an in-depth look at a different approach to chlorine generation and the science behind it.
