What is Chlo’?

Chlo’ is an automatic salt pool chlorinator, built to extend the life of small-scale pools. It completely automates the process of chlorination using salt electrolysis, removing the need to cyclically empty the pool for maintenance.

Combat water waste

Private pools can waste up to 50000 Liters of water every year, due to bad maintenance practice and seasonal changes.

Exploded callout diagram of the pod. Titanium plates inside the pod are easily accessible for maintenance and cleaning; counter weights at the top ensure continuous floating during the salination process. The settings button offers Eco mode (low consumption for long periods of usage), Boost mode (for a deep cleaning) and Normal mode (for everyday use). Signal LEDs inform the current mode, signal correct functionality, and signal whether the amount of salt used is correct or if a top-up is needed.
