The latest innovative product from Pool Controls operates on extra-low salt concentrations (as low as 1200ppm).
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 XLS System works effectively at concentrations as low as 1200ppm – 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 XLS System.

A Freshwater Experience

The XLS 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 XLS System means saying goodbye to lugging heavy bags of salt back from the pool shop. The XLS System is kinder to you, your pool and surrounds – not to mention the environment! Pool Controls XLS chlorinators comes in a wide range of output sizes – 12g/hr, 18g/hr, 23g/hr and 28g/hr.

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

Better - A “better” option is the “T” model, which includes two additional timed power outlets to control pool accessories such as pool or garden lighting.

Best - The “best” option is provided by the “pH” model, which includes an integrated algorithmic pH Control system in addition to the , offering pool owners full functionality in one unit. Note that a separate pH Control system can be retro-fitted to any XLS system at a later date if desired.

All XLS 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.

Pool Controls XLS pH Control

Pool Controls tried-and-tested pH Control system is available on all XLS models.  Keeping the pH of your pool water within the correct range is essential to ensure the sanitiser works efficiently. The pH Control System is available as a separate “plug-and-play” upgrade kit for any XLS chlorinator that does not already have an integrated pH control system.
