One of the most common questions we come across is how to keep a pool maintained without the use of chlorine. While chlorine is a fantastic sanitizer, it can sometimes leave your skin feeling dry and irritated. Not to mention it can bleach your bathing suits and clothing. Somar Pools employs a few options to drastically reduce the amount of chlorine necessary to keep a pool clean. While it is difficult to eliminate chlorine from the equation completely, as part of our pool service, we can install an ozone generator to do most of the work that the chlorine normally has to handle. Ozone is actually the best sanitizer on the planet and is widely used in commercial water parks to ensure complete sanitization. Once it is incorporated into your pool system, you will notice the chlorine level can be kept much lower than would otherwise be necessary to sanitize your pool. Ozone is the purest and most natural way to ensure the quality of your pool water. Ozone is 100% natural and can reduce your chlorine use by 60%-90%.

Another fantastic option offered by Somar Pools is to install a chlorine generator, sometimes referred to as a “salt system”. A chlorine generator works by having an electrolytic cell installed in to the plumbing, and adding salt to your pool. The chlorine generator breaks down the salt into hypochlorous acid, the effective killing agent in chlorine, often requiring fewer pool repairs. Having this system will not only save you money on costly chlorine, but because of how it is installed it actually disinfects almost every drop of water that passes by the cell. The only thing we need to do is maintain the salinity of the pool within the proper parameters as well as the other chemicals and your pool will be perfect! The added bonus of salt generated chlorine is the lack of that “chlorine smell”. The salt level needed for the chlorine generation to take place is actually the same salt level as human tears, so it is not overly salty.

With the addition of either of these systems or both, you will help keep the plastics and paper products used to transport chemicals out of our landfills. Not to mention the fuels and energy used to create all of the chemicals necessary to maintain swimming pools. Somar Pools is proud to offer our clients chlorine alternatives that are beneficial to our customers, their families, and the earth.
