Many swimming pool owners are opting for ways to clean their swimming pools without the use of harsh chemicals and away from conventional chlorinated system cleaning. Swimming pool owners are looking for methods that are potentially safer and more advanced ways to keep pool water clean and healthy for their families. Swimming pool service contractors in Scottsdale, Arizona also know there has been a growing concern being voiced by their clients, in recent years, about potential health issues with chlorinated pool filtering systems.
Your body potentially absorbs between 600 and 1,000% more contamination in a 10-minute shower than from drinking the same tap water for an entire day, think of how much contamination could enter your system after spending hours in the pool.
The chlorinated water of a swimming pool is designed to kill bacteria and other living organic matter, remember though… we are living organic matter. If you replace the swimming pools’ current filter system with a non-chlorine system, you can get away from the harmful effects of chlorine and other contaminants in your swimming pool water.
You’re wondering what you can use if you want to get away from chlorine. There are two to choose from: reverse osmosis and a high end filtration system. Many filtration systems are use activated charcoal which is mostly carbon. How does this work? Because charcoal is porous and has the ability to absorb impurities as well as poisonous gases, it is high effective in cleaning your swimming pool water.
With high end filters, you get more than just a carbon block to filter impurities. They also incorporate materials to remove particles as small as one micron. When looking for high end filters look for one that adds negative ions for hyper-hydration. This type of filter helps the body fight common skin conditions, rejuvenates and moisturizes your skin and softens your hair without chemicals.
Also, when you’re talking to your swimming pool service professional from SwimRight Pools, ask about a high end filtration system that has no replaceable cartridges. The cartridges are expensive and add to the cost of your pools’ maintenance. A high end filter will need to be cleaned to keep it in good working condition. They will have to be replaced, but have a useful life of seven to 10 years.
Reverse osmosis cleaning is a process whereby the water is pushed through an ultra-fine semi-permeable membrane that then separates the liquid into a storage tank. The brine concentrate will be disposed through a drainage system. This water is stored in a pressure tank and is treated to a final charcoal activated polishing filtration stage. In this final stage the remaining impurities, tastes and odors are removed and the water is then dispensed back into the swimming pool.
A reverse osmosis unit is less expensive than a high-end filtration but conversely the reverse osmosis system wastes a considerable amount of water. For every gallon of purified water produced, two gallons of water are wasted. Regardless of which system you choose to keep your swimming pool clean, either one of these options will offer you a cleaner more enjoyable swimming pool experience.
