Zodiac – GenSalt OE iQ salt chlorinator 20 g/h – 77382

The Zodiac GenSalt OE iQ 20 g/h is a compact and reliable salt chlorinator designed to automatically generate chlorine for residential swimming pools directly from dissolved salt in the water. Rather than manually adding chlorine chemicals, this system electrolyses the salt water as it passes through the electrolytic cell, producing fresh chlorine continuously and maintaining a consistently sanitised pool environment. The result is softer, more comfortable water that is gentler on skin and eyes compared to traditionally dosed pools, while still achieving effective disinfection.

The unit is characterised by its versatility and ease of installation. Its compact footprint makes it suitable for a wide range of installation environments, including plant rooms with limited space. The iQ designation indicates integrated smart functionality, allowing the user to monitor and adjust chlorine production conveniently. The system is designed for straightforward commissioning, making it accessible even for installers working on residential retrofits as well as new builds.

Technical characteristics and operation

The GenSalt OE iQ produces chlorine at a rated output of 20 grams per hour, which defines the maximum sanitisation capacity of the unit under standard operating conditions. This output determines how much active chlorine the system can introduce into the pool water over time, directly influencing the maximum pool volume the chlorinator can handle effectively. The electrolytic cell converts dissolved sodium chloride into hypochlorous acid and sodium hypochlorite — the active disinfectants — as water flows through it, before the salt is naturally reformed in the pool and the cycle repeats.

The iQ platform offers integrated controls that simplify day-to-day management of chlorine production levels. The control unit is designed to be user-friendly, with clear indicators and straightforward adjustment options. The system is built to Zodiac’s quality standards, ensuring durability and consistent performance over extended operational periods. Installation involves inline fitting within the pool’s existing circulation pipework, connecting to the filtration system downstream of the pump and filter.

Suitability and application

The Zodiac GenSalt OE iQ 20 g/h is intended for residential swimming pools where automated, low-maintenance sanitation is a priority. With a 20 g/h chlorine production capacity, it is well suited to pools of small to medium volume, making it a practical choice for domestic pool owners who want to reduce their reliance on manual chemical dosing. It is compatible with standard residential filtration and circulation systems and is designed for straightforward inline installation.

This chlorinator is an ideal choice for pool owners looking to transition from traditional chlorine dosing to a salt-based system, or for new pool installations where a convenient, consistent sanitation solution is required. The compact design and simplified setup process make it equally appropriate for professional installers and for technically confident homeowners undertaking their own pool equipment upgrades.
