Product Description
Maintain a healthy and sparkling pool with the
BSV Quicksalt 40 Salt Chlorinator. Engineered by BS Pool, this advanced saltwater system (MPN: 5-QUICKSALT-40) eliminates the need for manual chlorine handling by converting common salt into high-purity disinfectant. Designed specifically for residential pools up to 40,000 gallons, it features a modern, compact build that fits into tight equipment pads while delivering professional-grade water quality.
The Quicksalt 40 is renowned for its high-efficiency switch-mode power supply, which minimizes electricity costs and heat loss. With its unique factory-connected cell design, installation is fast and "plug-and-play," making it a top choice for DIY homeowners and pool professionals alike.
Key Performance Features
- Optimal Chlorine Production: Generates up to 1.10 lbs of free chlorine per day to keep your water bacteria and algae-free.
- Ultra-Low Maintenance: Features reverse polarity self-cleaning technology and a built-in audible alarm system to notify you of low salt or flow issues.
- Smart Protection: The IP65-rated control box provides industry-leading protection against moisture, gas, and corrosive pool vapors.
- Eco-Friendly Efficiency: Modern switch-mode technology ensures significantly lower energy consumption compared to traditional transformer-based chlorinators.
- Safe for All Surfaces: Provides "silky smooth" water that is gentle on eyes, skin, and hair, and won't bleach swimsuits or liners.
Specifications
Warnings and Disclaimers
- Warranty Voidance: Operating the chlorinator at extremely high salt levels (>8,000 ppm) or very low levels (<2,400 ppm) for extended periods will damage the titanium cell plates and void the manufacturer's warranty.
- Corrosion: High salt levels accelerate corrosion of metal pool fixtures, heaters, and certain deck materials. Keep levels within the optimal range.
- Testing Errors: Relying solely on the control box reading is risky. Electrical conductivity readings fluctuate with water temperature. Always cross-verify with a manual test kit before adding large amounts of salt.
- Chemical Quality: Using water softener salt or rock salt with high impurity levels can permanently stain your pool plaster or liner. Use only 99.8% pure pool-specific salt.
Pro Tips
- Dissolving Salt: Never add salt to the skimmer or directly into the cell housing. Broadcast salt in the deep end and brush until fully dissolved to avoid damaging equipment.
- Add Gradually: You can always add more salt, but the only way to lower concentration is by partially draining the pool. Dose incrementally.
- Temperature Check: If the water is cold (<60°F), the system naturally produces less chlorine. You may need to supplement with liquid chlorine manually during winter months.
- Maintain Balance: Salt systems consume acid naturally. Monitor your pH and Alkalinity closely to prevent scaling issues on the cell plates.
