Saline pools are becoming increasingly popular, especially since many families are trying to live a more natural, eco-friendly lifestyle these days. In the U.S. alone, over 1.5 million pool owners are enjoying the benefits of salt water chlorination. One of these benefits is an amazing swimming experience – there is a luxurious, silky-smooth feeling to the water. And unlike chlorinated water that can irritate your skin, cause red eyes and dry, itchy skin, saline pools leave your skin feeling great. You also won’t have to worry about your hair turning green!
Another important benefit to note is that your pool and spa are chlorinated automatically, not manually.
This means no more mixing, measuring or messing with liquid or tablet chlorine. Now you can automatically have the cleanest, softest, and safest water possible.
Salt systems work by turning ordinary salt into a self-regenerating supply of pure chlorine for pool and spa water that’s clean, clear and luxuriously soft. The salinity is actually gentle to the skin and eyes because the salt levels are relatively low—about half that of a human tear drop (a concentration of 0.5 percent). At recommended salt levels of 3,000 – 4,000 ppm—compared to an ocean’s 35,000 ppm—the pool water doesn’t taste salty or make your skin feel sticky, though you may want to wear goggles if swimming in the pool for extended periods.
