Your pool chlorinator is one of the most important pieces of equipment in your swimming pool. It is responsible for producing the chlorine that keeps your water sanitised, healthy and safe for swimming. When a chlorinator begins to fail, water quality can deteriorate quickly, leading to cloudy water, algae growth and increased chemical costs.
At Illawarra Pool Cleaning, we specialise in professional pool chlorinator replacement and salt chlorinator installation for residential swimming pools throughout Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama and the South Coast. Whether your existing chlorinator has stopped producing chlorine, your salt cell has reached the end of its life or you’re upgrading to a newer, more energy-efficient model, we can recommend the right system for your pool.
Our experienced technicians supply and install trusted chlorinator brands, ensuring reliable operation, efficient chlorine production and simple day-to-day maintenance.

Why Your Pool Chlorinator Is So Important
A salt chlorinator converts dissolved salt in your pool water into chlorine through a process known as electrolysis. Instead of manually adding chlorine every few days, the chlorinator continuously sanitises your pool while the pump is running.
A properly functioning chlorinator helps to:
Maintain safe, sanitised swimming water
Prevent algae growth
Reduce harmful bacteria
Improve swimmer comfort
Lower manual chemical handling
Keep chlorine levels more consistent
Reduce long-term maintenance
Without a reliable chlorinator, maintaining healthy pool water becomes much more difficult and time-consuming.

Yes. If the control unit is still operating correctly, replacing only the salt cell is often the most cost-effective solution.
Not always. Low salt warnings can be caused by genuinely low salt levels, incorrect water balance, sensor issues or a worn salt cell. We can inspect and diagnose the problem before recommending repairs or replacement.
