Pool Water Treatment — Cleaner, Softer Water for Your Pool

Your pool needs to be a bottomless source of joy — crystal clear, comfortable, and safe for every swimmer. Modern pool water treatment goes far beyond adding chlorine. Pinnacle Pool & Spa Services installs the full Pentair water treatment lineup throughout Greater Sacramento and the Bay Area, from salt chlorine generators that eliminate the hassle of traditional chlorine handling to UV sanitizers and chemical automation systems that maintain perfect water balance automatically.

Pentair IntelliChlor^® Plus Salt Chlorine Generators

The most popular pool water treatment upgrade we install is the Pentair IntelliChlor^® Plus Salt Chlorine Generator. By converting ordinary table salt into chlorine automatically, the IntelliChlor Plus eliminates the need to buy, store, and handle traditional chlorine products. The result is consistently cleaner, clearer, and noticeably silkier pool water — without the harsh side effects of traditional chlorine.

Why Salt Chlorination?

• No more buying or handling chlorine — the system generates it automatically from salt already in the water
• Softer, more comfortable water — fewer issues with dry skin, irritated eyes, and chlorine odor
• Consistent sanitization — maintains steady chlorine levels rather than the peaks and valleys of manual dosing
• Lower overall chemical costs once the system is installed and running
• Simpler pool ownership — less time spent testing, adjusting, and driving to the pool store

UV Sanitizers — A Powerful Complement to Chlorine

Ultraviolet sanitizers destroy bacteria, viruses, and chlorine-resistant microorganisms as water passes through a UV chamber — including the organisms that cause eye irritation and strong pool odor. UV systems don’t replace chlorine, but they dramatically reduce the amount of chlorine your pool needs to maintain safe sanitization levels. The result is fewer chloramines — the real culprit behind red eyes and that “pool smell.” View all Pentair water treatment products →

Northern California Water Chemistry Considerations

The Sacramento Valley’s naturally hard water creates specific challenges that Bay Area pool owners typically don’t face: calcium scale buildup on tile lines, pool surfaces, and equipment is common. Proper calcium hardness management is part of every water treatment recommendation we make, protecting both your pool and your investment in new equipment.

Extend Your Warranty

Pair a Pentair salt system with a compatible Pentair pump and filter to unlock a 3-year extended warranty covering all three products — more value from your upgrade investment.
