Designed specifically for above-ground installations, it installs without plumbing, includes a built-in timer so production is independent of your pump schedule, and requires only about 3,000 ppm of salt — far less than seawater — for operation. The unit's replaceable inner cell extends service life and reduces long-term costs, and because it’s made in the USA, it follows high quality and safety standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Saltron Retro simplify pool care?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Saltron Retro automates chlorine generation so you spend less time measuring and adding chemicals. Continuous, low-level chlorination keeps water clearer and reduces the need for frequent shock treatments.
