Pool Controls XLS28PH Low Salt Chlorinator

Pool Controls XLS28PH Low Salt Chlorinator — 900ppm Extra-Low Salt

Most saltwater pools run at 3,000–6,000ppm of salt. The Pool Controls XLS28PH operates at just 900ppm — so close to freshwater that you can barely taste the difference. It's the same sanitising power, with a dramatically gentler experience for swimmers, pool surrounds, and the environment.

Designed and made in Australia, the XLS28PH includes integrated pH control, a self-cleaning cell, and fully automatic operation — making it one of the most complete low-salt chlorinator systems available.

Key Features

• Extra-low salt operation at ~900ppm — near freshwater swimming experience
• Integrated pH control for balanced, hands-free water management
• Self-cleaning cell for reduced maintenance
• Fully automatic operation
• Optional timed power outlets (XLST model) for pump, UV/ozone, and lighting
• 3-year warranty
• Made in Australia

Why Extra-Low Salt?

Traditional salt chlorinators can corrode metal fittings, bleach sandstone, and damage concrete over time. At 900ppm, the XLS28PH is gentle on pool surrounds, accessories, and landscaping — and when you backwash, you're not discharging large volumes of salty water into the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a low salt chlorinator?

A low salt chlorinator sanitises your pool using electrolysis, just like a standard salt chlorinator, but at a much lower salt concentration — typically around 900ppm compared to 3,000–6,000ppm for conventional systems. The result is water that feels and tastes closer to freshwater.

Is 900ppm enough to sanitise a pool?

Yes. The Pool Controls XLS28PH is engineered to produce sufficient chlorine output at 900ppm to keep your pool safe and sanitised. The lower salt level does not compromise sanitising effectiveness.

What does pH control mean on a chlorinator?

pH control allows the chlorinator to automatically dose acid or CO₂ to maintain the correct pH level in your pool water, reducing the need for manual chemical adjustments and helping protect your pool equipment and surfaces.

Is the Pool Controls XLS28PH suitable for spas?

Yes, the XLS 900 range is suitable for both pools and spas.
