The Astral VX Salt Chlorinator is a reliable and efficient solution for keeping your pool water safe, clear and perfectly balanced. Instead of relying on liquid or granular chlorine, the VX Salt Chlorinator automatically converts pool salt into chlorine, delivering a constant sanitiser supply and reducing the risks of eye irritation, itchy skin, and strong chlorine odour. The VX Chlorinator is easy to use and packed with features, making it a user-friendly choice for pool owners.
Built for tough Australian conditions, this system provides precise chlorine output to suit both temperate and tropical climates, ensuring your pool remains crystal clear year-round. With its self-cleaning cell technology and smart control system, the VX Chlorinator is designed for convenience, performance, and long-term value.

Yes, the VX Salt Chlorinator is perfectly suited for pools with a spa combination. It features a Pool/Spa selection button that automatically adjusts the chlorine output when switching between the pool and the spa, ensuring appropriate sanitisation levels for the smaller volume of water in the spa.
The recommended salt levels for the VX Chlorinators are between 3000 to 8000 ppm, with an optimal level at around 4000 ppm. This range helps ensure efficient chlorine production and optimal performance of the chlorination system without manual dosing of liquid or granular chlorine.
The self-cleaning feature in the VX Salt Chlorinator works by reversing the polarity of the electrolytic cell. This process helps to remove calcium and other mineral build-ups from the cell plates, which extends the life of the chlorinator and reduces the need for manual cleaning.
The frequency and efficiency of the cleaning process are automatically managed based on the chlorinator’s output settings to optimise performance.
