A Salt Water Pool System Is The Healthy Choice
If you have made the decision to have a pool built on your property or already have a pool and have also been diligently working to reuse, recycle and basically help the environment on a daily basis, you need to consider incorporating a salt pool system instead of the old fashion chlorine based systems.
Salt water pool systems have many environmental and health benefits. First, they virtually eliminate algae problems because the chlorine in the pool is not inhibited by high stabilizer levels. When you use chlorine tablets it can cause fluctuations in stabilizer levels making the chlorine ineffective and creating yellow algae and poor sanitation results.
Stabilizer is added only as needed and you will need much less of it to produce positive results with a salt pool system. You will also save on the water you use because salt systems keep levels stable which avoids the need to drain you pool when stabilizer levels increase too much.
In addition to saving on the use of water and avoiding the use of harsh corrosive chemicals there are a number of health benefits. When people swim in traditional chlorinated pools they often get dry itchy skin, irritated eyes, possible skin rashes, discolored hair and especially dry skin. A small fraction of the amount of salt in ocean water is used in salt pools so the negative effects of water from a salt water pool are greatly reduced.
In addition to the environmental, and health benefits that a salt pool system ensures, statistics show that consumers find these to be a cost effective alternative to traditional chlorinated systems. Salt is much less expensive to purchase than chlorine, and the dangers of transporting and storing salt is minimal compared to trying to safely transport and find safe child-proof storage for chlorine. Use as many resources as you can to educate yourself and make an informed decision before buying any pool system.
