Long-Life Calcium Protection for Salt Chlorinator Cells
Lo-Chlor Salt Cell Protector Plus is a magnesium-based calcium inhibitor developed to help protect salt chlorinator cells from calcium scale build-up, particularly in hard-water conditions.
By softening existing calcium deposits and limiting new scale formation, it supports more consistent cell operation, reliable chlorine production, and easier ongoing maintenance.
This long-life treatment provides extended protection with a simple twice-yearly application, helping reduce the need for aggressive manual cell cleaning.
Features & Benefits
- Softens calcium build-up – helps loosen existing scale on salt chlorinator cells for easier cleaning.
- Limits future scale formation – supports ongoing protection against calcium deposits.
- Long-life performance – one treatment lasts for approximately 6 months.
- Supports efficient chlorine production – increases chloride concentration in the water.
- Magnesium-based formulation – soft compound that works without harsh action.
- Sulphate-free formulation – avoids sulphates that may contribute to long-term deterioration of cement, grout, and certain pool finishes.
- Helps protect pool surfaces – assists in protecting marble sheen and exposed aggregate finishes from scaling.
- Highly economical – low application frequency with long-lasting results.
How It Works
Salt Cell Protector Plus works by using a magnesium-based compound that interferes with calcium crystallisation on salt chlorinator plates.
This process helps prevent minerals from hardening onto the cell surface while softening existing deposits, reducing adhesion and making routine cleaning less aggressive.
How to Use
- With the pump running, add the required dose directly to the pool water.
- Allow the product to circulate fully through the filtration and chlorination system.
- Continue normal pool operation.
Dosage & Coverage
- Standard dose: 5L per 50,000 litres of pool water.
- Application frequency: Once every 6 months.
Important Usage & Compatibility Information
- Suitable for salt-chlorinated swimming pools.
- Does not contain sulphates, which can contribute to cement and grout deterioration over time.
- Helps protect marble sheen and exposed aggregate surfaces from calcium scaling.
- Compatible with normal pool operation and filtration systems.
Why Choose Lo-Chlor Salt Pool Aids?
Lo-Chlor salt pool treatments are developed to support the long-term performance of salt chlorination systems through targeted, professional-grade formulations.
Salt Cell Protector Plus focuses on protecting one of the most critical and costly components of a saltwater pool system — the chlorinator cell — through long-life scale control and reduced maintenance demands.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe for pool surfaces?
Yes. The sulphate-free formulation helps protect cement-based surfaces, grout, marble sheen, and exposed aggregate finishes.
Is this product a salt cell cleaner?
No. Salt Cell Protector Plus is a calcium inhibitor that helps soften and prevent scale build-up. It supports easier cleaning but does not replace periodic physical cleaning if heavy scale is present.
Can it be used in hard-water areas?
Yes. It is particularly beneficial in hard-water conditions where calcium scale formation is more common.
Does it replace acid cleaning of salt cells?
It helps reduce how often aggressive acid cleaning is required by limiting and softening scale, but occasional manual cleaning may still be needed depending on conditions.
Can I swim after adding it?
Yes. Once the product has been added with the pump running and allowed to circulate, normal pool use can continue. Maintain normal sanitiser levels and balanced water before swimming.
How often should it be applied?
A single dose provides protection for approximately 6 months. Reapply twice yearly for ongoing scale control.
