How A Salt Water Pool Can Save You Money And Provide A Safer Environment For Your Family
An every increasing number of people are finding that salt water pool systems are a healthier alternative because the proven technology has been around for a long time and the storage, handling and use of chlorine is unnecessary.
By way of the circulation system, these pools use chlorine generators to filter non-iodized salt (sodium chloride) by naturally electrifying the salt which produces a natural form of chlorine. This will eliminate algae and bacteria from the water, just as using chlorine would do. These chlorine generators can be used with virtually any water supply and only if you live in an area with high amounts of certain minerals in your water will it be necessary to add additional pool chemicals.
Unlike the ocean, the concentration of salt in these pools is very low. Water from the ocean is ten times saltier than salt pool water. The pool will contain 3,500 parts per million and the ocean contains 35,000 parts per million. You will not be able to feel, taste or smell salt in your salt water pool.
The water in these salt water pools is cleaner and softer and people who typically experience skin irritation, itchy eyes and/or hair discoloration in a traditional chlorine pool will have no need to worry about this with a salt water pool.
Make sure you investigate if the equipment you purchase for your pool is designed for longevity of life for these alternative systems. The absence of chlorine and the time and effort not needed compared to maintaining a traditional chlorine pool saves you money. The price of salt pool systems can vary anywhere from $2,000-$5,000. But, if you have an existing pool and wish to switch from chlorine to salt water, do your research, and talk with pool equipment professionals who know what will work best with your pool.
