2. Salt Water as a Pool Option
• Most people don’t think of salt water when
they think of pools, but they are actually an
excellent option.
• Find out if the benefits of salt water pool
systems are right for you.
3. Salt Water is Sanitizing
• Did you know that salt water can be made into
a sanitizer?
• Salt water pools use this characteristic along
with chlorine to keep the pool purified.
4. Salt Water Pools and Chlorine
• Salt water pools do not use chlorine the same
way other pools do.
• Their filtration systems use electrolysis to
create chlorine in a much less harsh form.
5. What is Electrolysis?
• Electrolysis filtration uses charged titanium
plates to break down the salt.
• This process creates hypochlorous acid.
6. Why Hypochlorous Acid?
• Salt water pools naturally produce their own
version of chlorine.
• This is not as harsh on skin and eyes as regular
chlorine.
7. Salt Water Pools are Not Chlorine Free
• They naturally produce their own chlorine, salt
water pools are not chlorine free.
• They also use chemicals for disinfecting, but
the method they use to extract these
chemicals is better for your body.
8. No Side Effects
• Because their disinfection process is so much
healthier, there are almost no side effects
from their chemicals.
• That means a salt water pool can be enjoyed
without itchy eyes and irritated skin.
9. Fewer Problems
• Even with less chemical side effects, salt water
pools still have fewer problems.
• For example, they often have less algae and
bacteria growth.
10. Better Hair
• If you enjoy frequent swims in traditional
chlorine pools, you know they can make your
hair fragile.
• This is not the case with salt water pools.
They will not turn your hair green and are less
likely to cause damage to the hair strands in
general.
11. Great Benefits and Less Work
• Yes, you will need to maintain your salt water
pool with mineral balancing and salt water
pool filters to keep it from getting too salty.
• However, you won’t need to scrub off green
scum and you enjoy less maintenance overall.
