What Are the Benefits of Salt Water Pools?
Chlorine is not the only way to keep swimming pool water clean and inhibit harmful bacteria and algae growth. A salt water chlorination system is an eco-friendly alternative to the harsh chemicals once considered an industry standard. This system converts salt naturally into chlorine and keeps the water clean, regardless of whether the pool is vinyl, plaster, or fiberglass. Consider the benefits of salt water pools when contemplating building or modifying a pool. Does this Spark an idea?
-
Safe
-
A salt water pool eliminates the need to store and handle hazardous chemicals such as chlorine tablets.
Cost Effective
-
While a salt water chlorinator system is slightly more expensive than a traditional system, the money is recouped within a year or two because pool salt is cheaper than chlorine.
-
Healthier
-
The salt water will not turn hair green, nor will it cause itchy, red eyes or dry, flaky skin; plus, the harsh chemical smell of chlorine is gone.
Easy Upkeep
-
Maintenance is easy because there is less to do to maintain pH levels, and salt does not evaporate like chlorine so there are fewer applications of it needed.
Non-Damaging
-
Salt water does not damage pool equipment, and swimsuits will not fade or fall apart from salt water exposure.
