Teap salt chlorinators

Salt chlorinators Teap Saliclor: the Valencian bet without frills

Teap is a Valencian brand with several decades of experience in public and industrial pool equipment (filters, pumps, electrical panels, professional filtration systems). That technical heritage is what distinguishes its line of Saliclor salt chlorinators: instead of competing for added features (Wi-Fi, app, low salinity, inverter), Teap bets on robust Spanish manufacturing, concentrated catalog and a direct sizing system that any customer understands at the first time: you do not choose grams per hour or configure setpoints, you choose the model whose number matches the size of your pool.

On this page you have the 5 Saliclor models distributed by Quimipool, in a price range from 699 € to 1.599 € covering from the small family pool up to 50 m³ to the large or small community pool up to 220 m³. No optional kits, no loose accessory modules, no complications. Here I explain when Teap is the right choice and when to look at other brands.

Why Teap and for whom

Three features make Teap a concrete proposition:

• Industrial background brought to residential. Teap has historically manufactured equipment for public swimming pools, hotels and sports centers. The Saliclor range transfers that philosophy to the domestic pool: robust components, simple and proven electronics, long life without the need for sophisticated maintenance. It's the opposite of the "all-in-one with app and sensors" approach - and for many customers, that's a plus, not a minus.
• Catalog simplified to the max. Only five models in the entire range: L-50, L-80, L-120, L-180 and L-220. No variants with or without pH, no optional kits in the Quimipool catalog, no Pro vs Touch vs Connect line. You choose the model according to the size of your pool and that's it. For customers who are overwhelmed with catalogs of 30-40 references per brand, this is a relief.
• Direct designation per m³ of pool. The number of each model (L-50, L-80, L-120, L-180, L-220) matches the maximum pool volume in cubic meters that the equipment treats without stressing. It is the most transparent nomenclature on the market: your pool is 75 m³, you get an L-80. Period. There is no need to make the mental conversion "g/h × regime × climate" that the g/h nomenclatures of the other brands require.

It is the natural choice for pragmatic owners who want a chlorinator that works, not a technical project; installers who value simplicity of stock and choice of model; and customers with medium to large pools (the L-180 and L-220 cover a range where many domestic brands already fall short).

The Saliclor range: five models, five pool sizes

The choice is straightforward: locate the volume of your pool and take the model whose number covers it. The only additional decision is to go up a step if:

• Your pool is in a warm zone (Andalusia, Levante, Balearic Islands) with long seasons
• You have a slat or louver cover that extends the useful period
• You have a high bather load (large family, holiday rentals)
• Your pool regularly suffers from algae or high chlorine demand problems

This "step up" rule is not specific to Teap, it applies to any salt chlorinator: working at 50-60% of nominal capacity under normal conditions significantly prolongs the life of the cell.

Technical characteristics common to the entire Saliclor range

All five units share a consistent technical base:

• Titanium cell with noble metal oxide coating: the technical standard in the industry, the difference between manufacturers is in the quality of the coating and the geometry of the electrodes. Teap uses cells sized for continuous use.
• Self-cleaning by polarity inversion configurable according to the hardness of the water in your area. In very hard water, it is programmed with more frequent reversal; in soft water, with less frequent reversal to extend the life of the cell.
• Integrated safetygas sensor that stops production if there is no flow circulating.
• Manual production adjustment between 0 and 100%. There is no automatic ORP control from the factory; if you want to automate, you have to add a pH dosing pump and, optionally, external probes. For this it is advisable to look at the general catalog of dosing pumps and automatic pH control.
• Cover sensor: if you have a shutter, it is connected to reduce production when it is closed and avoid overchlorination.
• Basic LCD display with status information, current production and alarms.

What it does not include and should know: no native Wi-Fi or mobile app; no integrated pH/ORP control as standard; no "Plus" or "Touch" version with additional features. The Saliclor range is what it is and nothing more: a well-built salt chlorinator, with simple and robust interface.

Subsequent configurations and upgrades

Although the Saliclor does not come with optional kits in the Teap catalog, the general ecosystem of Quimipool allows you to complement it:

• Automatic pH control: add an external dosing pump from brands such as Seko, Etatron or Astralpool with probe and acid reservoir. They work independently of Saliclor and are compatible with any salt chlorinator.
• Automatic ORP control: the same, by means of an external control panel with ORP probe. There are automatic control panels that manage both pH and chlorine production according to the real redox potential.
• Water grounding: as in any salt chlorinator installation, we recommend a Pool Terre type system (109 € for 50 mm, 139 € for 63 mm) that neutralizes eddy currents and protects the submerged metal components against galvanic corrosion.
• Water analysis: complement with a photometer or a digital pool meter to check free chlorine, pH and conductivity.

The Teap philosophy: if you need automated control, you add it on the outside with standard market components, you don't pay a premium for integrated features that many users don't use.

Teap vs. other brands of salt chlorinators

Every brand has its place. I tell you honestly:

• Teap is the simple, robust and well-dimensioned Valencian option per m³ of pool. For pragmatic customers who want an uncomplicated chlorinator.
• Innowater is the consolidated Spanish option with long life cells (14,000 h in SMC) and historical compatibility with NaturalChlor.
• BSV provides hardware modularity (upgrade Evo Basic → Evo Touch without works) and the Low Salt low salinity line.
• Idegis is committed to native Wi-Fi connectivity as standard and the Scalable line (expandable production without replacing equipment).
• Astralpool is the widest range on the market with the Fluidra Pool ecosystem, CellWare 18,000 h cell and semi-industrial Easy Salt Next VC.
• Aquark/QP offers inverter technology and all-in-one (pH + ORP + WiFi + low salinity as standard).
• Hayward is the American multinational with a shared platform with Sugar Valley.
• Sugar Valley differentiates itself with combined treatments (chlorinator + UV + ozone).
• Zodiac has a wide range with Ei, Gen and XA lines very well established in the domestic market.
• Davey is the Australian option with an international range.

If your priority is simplicity of choice, Spanish manufacturing and low price, Teap Saliclor is among the best options on the market. If what you value is advanced automation, mobile app or premium technologies (inverter, low salinity, 18,000 h cell), you will fall short and you should look at Astralpoolaquark or Idegis. For large pools with a tight budget (the L-180 and L-220 cover 120-220 m³ at a very reasonable price for its range), Teap is difficult to beat.

Maintenance and service life

Four practical tips:

• The lifetime of the cell depends very much on the hours of operation, the hardness of the water and maintaining the correct salt concentration. A Saliclor cell in a domestic pool with normal use can last 7-10 years; in areas with very hard water or intensive use, less.
• Manual cleaning of the cell once a year in soft water; twice a year in hard water. Self-cleaning by polarity reversal helps a lot, but does not replace periodic inspection.
• In wintering, turn production down to 0% but do not switch off: many units lose internal calibration when de-energized and need reprogramming. Consult the manual for your model.
• If you need diagnosis or repair, contact the technical service of Quimipool: we have experience with the Teap range and availability of spare parts.
