ECT Contracting LLC
Answer: In some cases
Explanation: It may be a more efficient way to keep your pool clean and clear, but most folks don't realize that when you use the solar/chemical reaction process to break sodium chloride, you are actually using that process to naturally create chlorine. The advantage is that it is often more evenly distributed and constant, so it is easier to balance the PH of the pool water...You don't have as many spikes that require the addition of other chemicals to maintain optimal PH and clarity of water.
