The latest innovative product from Pool Controls operates on extra-low salt concentrations (as low as 900ppm). At this concentration, the salt is on the threshold of being perceptible by taste - so it’s like swimming in freshwater!

To put things in perspective, seawater has a salt concentration of around 30,000ppm and a human tear drop has a salt concentration of approximately 7000ppm. Conventional saltwater chlorinators operate at concentrations of between 3000 and 6000ppm. The XLM System works effectively at concentrations as low as 900ppm – and it’s worth remembering that tap water often has salt concentrations of around 200ppm.

A great freshwater experience is also kind on the environment.  When you backwash your pool or spa, you won’t be dumping large amounts of salty water.  Extra low concentrations of salt also help protect your investment in your pool or spa.  Metal accessories will no longer rust quickly and concrete surfaces are protected from the hardening that can occur with high concentrations of salt. High salt concentrations can be extremely harsh on pool surrounds – but this sort of damage can be prevented by using an XLM System.

A Freshwater Experience

The XLM System is the latest innovative offering from Pool Controls and operates effectively at extra-low concentrations of salt. The salt is barely perceptible by taste and the experience is like swimming in fresh water. Using an XLM System means saying goodbye to lugging heavy bags of salt back from the pool shop. The XLM System is kinder to you, your pool and surrounds – not to mention the environment!

The XLS range is suitable for salt or mineral pools and offers a “good, better, best” option for each output size.

Good - For those that like to keep things simple, there is a straightforward chlorinator, which represents a “good” option for many pool owners.
‍
Best - The “best” option is provided by the “pH” model, which includes an integrated algorithmic pH Control system in addition to the 3 timed power outlets, offering pool owners full functionality in one unit. Note that a separate pH Control system can be retro-fitted to any XLM system at a later date if desired.

All XLM systems have a built-in “cover-mode”, which at the touch of a button, reduces chlorine output to 20% of normal for when a pool cover is on the pool.
