Did a summer cooling off in your pool leave your skin, hair and swimsuits damaged from constant exposure to chlorine? It is a common complaint by pool owners that are tired of the harsh effects of this effective and popular pool sanitizer. Although chlorine is one of the most effective ways to keep your pool healthy and safe, there are ways to reduce the amount that is needed. Here are a few alternatives that can be used to sanitize your pool without the harsh side effects of excessive chlorine.
Ozone System
Commercial water parks must have the best sanitizing equipment to keep their water clean and safe for their guests, which is why they often use ozone generators. Ozone is one of the most effective water sanitizers available. These systems are available for residential pools and can reduce the amount of chlorine needed to keep your pool safe by up to 90%, making your pool much gentler on your skin, hair and clothing.
Salt Systems
Another option to reduce your chlorine use for pool sanitization is a salt system or chlorine generator. These systems use salt to create the active cleansing factor in chlorine, giving you the same sanitizing effect without the harsh effects. Owners of these systems enjoy the fact that their pools no longer have that chlorine smell, yet are still safe to swim in on a daily basis.
If you are looking for an alternative to chlorine, talk to your local pool service provider about either an ozone or chlorine generator system. It can help reduce the amount of chlorine needed to maintain your PH balance and protect your family from the ill effects of chlorine.
