A salt water system uses a salt chlorine generator to make chlorine from the salt in your pool water. Marina Pool Services installs salt systems on existing pools and services ones you already own. We serve Grapevine and nearby Northeast Tarrant County. Salt water does not mean a pool is maintenance-free.
A salt chlorine generator uses dissolved salt in the pool water to produce chlorine as water passes through the system. Chlorine is still the sanitizer. The system makes it for you instead of you adding it by hand. It runs as part of your circulation equipment. The system makes chlorine from the salt as water flows through. It still needs a working pump, a clean filter and a balanced pool to work well.
Not none. Salt water does not mean a pool is maintenance-free. You still need balanced water, a clean filter and regular equipment checks. Salt levels, water chemistry, circulation and the cell all affect how well the generator runs. Weekly service keeps all of that in range. Marina can help you keep those basics in order through weekly service. Salt levels are part of the water balance list.
Marina first reviews your pump, filter, plumbing, controls and other equipment to see how a salt system fits. We then install the salt chlorine generator and connect it to the circulation system. Finally we configure and test it to confirm water is moving and the generator works. Marina checks that the generator is compatible with your equipment before installation. That planning helps the system work well from day one.
For an existing system, Marina inspects the generator, connections and controls, cleans the cell, and troubleshoots errors or low chlorine output. We also check the surrounding equipment and settings, since the cause is sometimes elsewhere. Call (817) 896-1120 to ask for a free estimate. Salt cells collect deposits over time, so cleaning is a normal part of service. The surrounding equipment and settings get checked too, since the cause is sometimes outside the generator.

Call for a free estimate. Marina checks the pump, filter and plumbing first and explains what a conversion involves.
Yes. A salt system makes chlorine, but you still need to test and balance pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness and conditioner. Marina's weekly service includes salt levels where applicable. Salt systems reduce hand-feeding chlorine but do not remove the need to monitor water chemistry.
Possible causes include low salt, a scaled-up cell, poor water flow, or settings. A pro can test salt and check the cell and flow. Marina troubleshoots salt systems. Marina also checks the surrounding equipment, since flow problems can affect the generator.
