What does chlorine do to pools?

Answer 1

Chlorine sanitizes (cleans) the pool water chemically. However, chlorine also has negative health implications. Just look at your eyes in the mirror after ten minutes of swimming in a chlorine pool. That is your body saying "what are you doing to me?". No Salt...No Chlorine Systems make the pool water drinkable (NSF-61 Certified Drinkable) and do away with all the destructive chemicals in the pool water. I believe by 2020 using chemicals in pool water will be a thing of the past.

I am the President of Lazy Day Pools out of Atlanta and my company has been retrofitting Swimming Pools to provide drinkable pool water for the past five years. The system does not use salt or chlorine and instead uses copper ionization mixed with titanium oxygen generation and ionized glass filtration to render the water crystal clear and drinkable (NSF-61 Certified Drinkable). We are now offering the same system we put on our swimming pools to purify drinking water in whole house systems to every tap. We have had such great success with the drinkable pool water over the past five years that we no longer salt or chlorine systems anymore on new pools we build. The average cost to retro an existing pool with these systems is around $3K. I thought your question was interesting because with all that is going on in the world today it is nice to know that as long as I have electric power (generator, etc.) I will continue to have 30,000 gallons of drinkable water in my backyard. I think we aren't the only ones who think about this stuff because sales are though the roof! Hope this information helped.
