The revolutionary new saltwater chlorine generators, ColorChlor® & TechniChlor™ have been specifically designed as a spa chlorine generator and takes into effect the higher water temperature and smaller water volume than above ground pools. These portable and easy to use electronic chlorine generators automatically sanitize spa and hot tub water by converting skin softening saltwater into sanitizing chlorine. This eliminates the time and need to store and pour traditional liquid or tablet sanitizing products. There are no buttons, no moving parts, no separate control boxes or timers. These products are so easy to use! Simply program each model to one of ten chlorine generation power levels based on spa size and usage, and they'll take care of the rest. Product installation is simple and requires no equipment modification. A GFI or GFCI protected outlet is all you need.

Special Salts for Spa Chlorine Generators

ControlOMatic now has three types of salt. Sonoma pure sea salt from the coast of California, Dead Sea salt from Israel to turn your Spa or Hot Tub into a mineral bath and pink Himalayan salt with 84 minerals. Check out the salt page. When adding a spa chlorinator why not make your spa a mineral bath at the same time.

Above Ground Pool Chlorine Generators

The ChlorSimple above ground pool chlorine generator has been designed with the same easy to install technology as the spa chlorine generators. Simply add salt to the above ground pool, plug in the ChlorSimple and drape it over the side into the water to enjoy the benefits that in-ground pool owners have had for over 30 years.  The ChlorSimple is the big brother of the TechniChlor without light shows and the ChlorSimple Ultra is the big brother of the ColorChlor, with light shows. Since most above ground pools do not have lights adding the ChlorSimple Ultra lets you take care of the sanitizer while making your pool fun at night.

ControlOMatic develops and manufactures water care products for the pool and spa industry throughout the world.  For the last 30 years, saltwater chlorination systems have been in high demand by pool owners due to improved water quality and the huge reduction in maintenance that saltwater chlorination systems provide.  During that time, the options for Hot Tub and Spa chlorinators have been limited.

ColorChlor and TechniChlor are saltwater chlorine generators uniquely designed for spa and hot tub use, while ChlorSimple and ChlorSimple Ultra are Chlorinators specifically developed for aboveground pools, bringing the same water quality and maintenance reduction benefits that in-ground pool owners have enjoyed for years.  Simply add salt to your spa, hot tub or above ground pool water and let our electronic chlorine generator take care of your sanitation needs day after day.  You can also find a dealer for a live demonstration.

Electronic Salt Chlorine Generators

Pool and Spa Chemical Automation

Back in 1994 a company called Acu-Trol came out with the AK1000, the first 2 pool controller with a built in modem as standard. Since ControlOMatic was founded by the same inventor there is now the PoolWarden, a 2 pool controller with WIFI as standard. The Internet has become so widespread that WIFI is the clear choice for communication support as most commercial establishments have it and it is low cost. The PoolWarden supports temperature, pH, ORP and a special free chlorine sensor. The PoolWarden  single pool version has 3 output relays and the two pool version has 6. More info on the PoolWarden.

What Our Customers Are Saying

I purchased your ColorChlor chlorinator unit 1 month ago and want to share the results of my experience. Based on my experience so far:

• ColorChlor effectively maintains my spa in clear-water condition without any burdensome addition of sanitizers. No longer do I worry about the condition of my spa between uses because the product maintains a sufficient level of chlorine (hypochlorous acid) so my spa is ready when I am.
• I feel confident in ColorChlor because it continually generates chlorine over time, so free chlorine is always present, but levels stay low and stable. This maximizes sanitation and minimizes the risk of corrosion, present with any sanitizing system in spas.
• The one-time setup and ongoing use is simple: 8 pounds of salt one time from my local store (~$4) and plug-in ColorChlor to a standard outlet (weather protected). This took less than 1 hour. Now using it is as simple as Drop-and-Go!

Previously, I used chlorinating granules which required frequent and continual addition, whether I used my spa or not. I never minded adding this to my spa when I used it, but to have to add it when not using the spa felt like I was babysitting it. Plus, when I took trips for as little as a week, I had to take time to drain the spa or risk returning to a skunked, murky spa – yuck! Now, when I leave, I can trust ColorChlor to maintain my spa so its clear and clean when I return.

True, I still have to maintain pH and check the filter, but those change little when my spa is not in use. And for large parties (like my Memorial Day bash with 12 guests in/out of the spa all day), I need supplemental chlor (bleach) to offset extreme amounts of organic material. But since I am at the spa anyway – adding a cup of chlor occasionally is not inconvenient. It’s remembering to constantly add sanitizer that’s inconvenient – which I no longer need to do with ColorChlor.

And I should cut my water replacement frequency at least by half every year, because using ColorChlor does not accumulate compounds (stabilizers/cyanuric acid) found in sanitation tablets/granules that eventually lead to spa water that must be replaced because it cannot be cleared. Technically, my spa water should now be like my pool – and I never have had to change that water (6 years+).

This is a terrific product. As a spa owner for 14 years (two different hot tubs) I’ve used Ozone Generator, chemicals and other filtration solutions to simplify hot tub maintenance and reduce chem use and costs. This product is the read deal. I’ve been using Dead Sea Salts (bokek) with this product and it works great!

I never have an issue with checking levels or getting too much chemical or odors. Better still, the feeling after using the spa is amazing. Never have that “hot tub itch” and dry skin associated with bromine. Whether I’m home or away, this product is doing its job…and I use my spa A LOT!

Better still, they stand behind their products. When I have had performance issues or questions, they have always taken care me immediately, and have provided me with updated improvements to their products as they became available. The price might make some hesitate, but if you’ve owned and maintained a spa before, you know how often you’re running out spending $$$ on this chemical or that. Salt is cheap! Even the rarest fine Spa Quality sea salts…by comparison. And the time savings, alone, and hassle-free solution makes it worth every penny!!!

ControlOMatic News

ControlOMatic and HornerXPress team up to distribute and market the ColorChlor and TechniChlor electronic saltwater hot tub and spa chlorine generators internationally.

ControlOMatic introduces ColorChlor and TechniChlor packages for use as electronic hot tub and spa bromine generators. Simply use sodium bromide instead of sodium chloride and the chlorinators work the same, but make bromine instead of chlorine.

A limited quantity of the ChlorMaker Inline spa chlorine generators are available.

The PoolWarden test site at ControlOMatic is now online and viewable. This is where the ColorChlor, ChlorMaker, ChlorSimple and PoolWarden were developed. Data is uploaded from the PoolWarden via WIFI to the database server at www.colorchlor.com.

Spa Bromine Generators

Salt chlorine generators can use either sodium chloride or sodium bromide. ControlOMatic uses the phrase spa chlorine generator but could also use spa bromine generator. The ColorChlor and TechniChlor support both types of salt as no modifications are required. Some prefer bromine over chlorine because it causes less irritation of the skin and eyes but that is less of a problem when the water is made soft by adding salt. Bromine is commonly used to sanitize spas and hot tubs because it is more stable than chlorine in the warmer spa water.
