Salt Water Pool Systems

Salt water pool systems use a generator to produce chlorine (hydrochloric acid) from salt through an electric current process called electrolysis. Salt water pool systems save you from having to purchase chlorine every so often and take a chance on exposing your body to the harsh concentrated chlorine. You have to purchase salt instead. Other than that, salt water pool systems still result in using chlorine as a disinfectant to kill bacteria, algae, and viruses in your pool water.

Chlorine and salt are harsh compounds that have corrosive tendencies. They will corrode and abuse your pool equipment, both external and internal parts. The severity of these chemicals can do damage to your pool walls by staining and causing scaling to occur. Any metal structures, such as statues or railings near the pool area, will be affected by long term exposure to salt water pool systems because of the chemicals they inherently incur in the process of cleaning.

Alternatives exist to salt water pool systems that are more natural and environment-friendly. Some of these systems include an ionic water purification method of cleaning your swimming pool water. The ionic water purification method includes the mineral, copper, which is a naturally occurring element in the environment. Using skill to combine natural oxygen and these copper ions, your swimming pool can become an atmosphere that is friendly to your skin and your health, as well as to the overall environment.

Wouldn't you prefer natural water pool systems over salt water pool systems, as the salt water pool systems employ chemical ingredients that are harsh to your skin, your health, and the earth?

Salt water pool systems, by way of filtering backwash and splash-outs of the chemically treated water, can cause corrosive damage to stone and rock landscaping that might be near your pool. Vegetation, green and growing organisms, near your pool will likely die when coming into contact with pool water that gets splashed out because of the content of harsh chemicals.

Salt water pool systems, with their use of salt and chlorine, can cause a number of health problems to you, your family, and your guests. Family pets, as well, should not be exposed to the chemically treated water as it is not good for them. Chlorine can burn your eyes and turn them red. It can dry your skin and hair, and even alter your hair's color. Breathing in chlorine fumes can cause breathing problems by reducing lung capacity and has been linked to asthmatic attacks in children. Chlorine can get into your skin through openings and pores in your skin's surface and cause detrimental effects. Chlorine has been linked to bladder and rectal cancers, as well as coronary heart disease. If you swallow a mouthful of swimming pool water accidentally, it will taste bad, and, besides that, it will then have a direct route into your body's system which is not a good thing.

Alternatives to salt water pool systems offer much safer water that you can enjoy and not have to worry about harmful health effects because there are no chemicals and no chlorine in a natural water pool system.
