If you're thinking about a new pool or changing your pool sanitising system, why not opt for saltwater chlorination? It has more benefits than you might think!
So why can saltwater chlorination be better than traditional chlorination? Firstly, traditional chlorination can cause skin to dry out. This can make swimming an uncomfortable experience for some people, especially those with sensitive skin and allergies. Saltwater chlorination is gentler on the skin, as the chlorine produced is milder. If you suffer from red, stinging eyes every time you swim in a chlorinated pool, switching to saltwater can help eliminate this problem. This is because the saltwater chlorinator destroys the dead chlorine (chloramines) in the water. Are you sick of smelling like chlorine after every swim? Saltwater chlorinators mean that you don't get that smell, making it more comfortable to laze around the pool on a hot day.
The standard chlorinated pool means that you may need a lot of room to store the necessary chemicals. You also have to worry about making sure that they are correctly and safely stored. Because saltwater chlorinators generate their own chlorine, you don't need to store chemicals. Saltwater chlorinators are also much lower maintenance – just check the salt and pH levels. No more adding chlorine to the pool again.
Finally, one of the biggest benefits is that over time, you'll end up saving money. While saltwater chlorinators can cost more to install initially, they will save you a lot of money in maintenance costs over the life of the pool – no more buying chlorine!
