How to Use Less Chemicals in your Pool
In general, water treatment products consist in chemicals
that are neither natural, nor healthy for the body, if used in excess. That is
why it is advisable to try the efficiency of some alternative methods that can
replace, at least in some extent, chemical treatments.

Pool water treatment with Bromine
Bromine is a powerful disinfectant even at high pH levels,
odorless and free of the irritating effects of chlorine. Bromine purifies
water and destroys bacteria, viruses, fungi, organic waste brought by swimmers
or coming from the environment. Additionally, it has algicidal properties, in
cases of preventive use. Bromine can replace chlorine or be used at the same
time as chlorine.

Copper-silver electrolysis of pool water
Copper-silver electrolysis is an electro-physical process
using an apparatus called an electrolyzer, which produces copper de-hiroxide
(flocculant), copper ions (fungicide and algicide) and silver ions
(disinfectant).
·
Active oxygen pool water treatment
Active oxygen is used as chlorine but has no specific odor
and does not irritate the skin or mucous membranes. This product allows
effective disinfection of water as well as oxidation of organic impurities.
Bacteria, viruses, algae and fungi are destroyed. The substance remains
effective for at least one week after being introduced in the water, and for a
maximum of 3 weeks.
The best course of action for your pool and for your health is to rely on weekly experienced pool tech Plano maintenance services.
