Low salt electrolysis/hydrolysis has become a very popular way of disinfection in the recent years for both pool as natural swimming ponds/biopools. The big advantage with hydrolysis is that strong oxidants are made from water by splitting it in O and H atoms. These O and H atoms can then form these oxidation products: O (atomic oxygen), O2 (oxygen), O3 (ozone), H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) and ??OH (radical hydroxide). These disinfectants are as powerful or more powerful than chlorine (see table) but do not produce any harmful by-products (like chloramines for example). After reacting with an organic compound they will fall back to water. At salt levels of 1,5 – 2 g/l it also produces a small amount of chlorine that has a residual effect in pools. For natural swimming ponds a maximum salt level of 1 g/l is recommended when chlorine is not desired. (Not suitable in combination with EPDM foil)
