Frog Pool Tender Mineral System VS. Salt Chlorine Generators

When you are deciding how you are going to sanitize your pool you may notice you have a few options. The most common way people sanitize their above ground pool is with chlorine, either granular (powder) or tablets.

However, there are some alternative sanitizing systems that are also available. While they may still be using chlorine to clean the pool, it is in different forms and amounts. Two of the most common are mineral systems and saltwater systems, such as:

  • Frog Pool Tender Fresh Mineral Water System
  • Salt Chlorine Generator (ex. Solaxx Saltron Retro XL)

Chambers are prefilled so there’s no mess, no guess, no stress.
