Pros of Owning Chlorine Free Swimming Pool
When you have your own personal pool in your backyard, you can just take a nice cold dip whenever the sun gives off its hottest and highest temperature. The minute you’re sweating and feel sticky, you can just grab your towel and your swimsuit from inside the house and dive right into your pool.
Pools are necessities especially in places that often have humid atmosphere, like Florida. If you’ve been to Florida and had seen the movie “The Birdcage,” you would understand why people walk in swimming trunks and bathing suits. The heat alone is hard to bear when you tread the feet-burning concrete in shirts and pants.
Now if you live in a warm state and you have a pool in your backyard, dipping your whole body in the cool water is a great way to get through the warm weather. A swimming pool is way better than taking a shower, even if it is a cold one.
Also, it’s not really known by most people but having your own personal pool allows you to do water exercises. People with back injuries can actually resort to their pool as a place where they can do water exercises. Water supports the back and has minimum impact. Swimming every day, even if it is only for an hour, is also a great exercise that would tone your body.
What is the difference of a chlorinated pool to a chlorine-free swimming pool? Well, for one, the chlorinated pool would not give people much benefits when they conduct their water exercises in it.
If one of your reasons for having a private pool in your residence is so that you can do water exercises, then it is better that you get a chlorine-free swimming pool. It not only has good effects in an individual’s health, it is also healthy for the environment. Installing your own chlorine-free swimming pool is worth it.
Even if your pool is above-ground, fiberglass or in-ground, if it is chlorine-free, then it will still give the owner the same benefits. The only difference is in terms of construction
The above-ground pools have steel frames that include a plastic liner. They are very expensive, usually about $1500. Fiberglass are constructed in the factory then delivered to your backyard with the use of the crane. A hole is dug in your yard and then some deck structure is there to hold it. Lastly, the in-ground cement pool is the most expensive out of the three because its general price is $25,000. The materials are tile and cement but it takes a long period of time to build.
After deciding what kind of pool, the next step is to let it be either chlorinated or chlorine-free.
Chlorine is a toxic chemical which the skin easily absorbs. Interesting enough, the human body absorbs more chlorine than water. Studies show that a child can absorb a maximum ten times of contamination in a swimming pool because of chlorine.
Because our body absorbs chlorine, 100 percent of the contaminants go straight into our bloodstream. Skin in our privates parts absorb the most chlorine. Besides, it is the one that is always underwater, therefore exposed most of the time to the pollutant.
Aside from chlorine in the pool, chlorine can also be found in organic compound such as leaves. These become carcinogenic trihalomethanes. Chloroform is also said to be a contaminated pollutant.
Look at your swimming pool like it is a large pond. When left alone, nature will take its course. In the French movie “Swimming Pool,” the pool was left alone for many months so eventually it sprouted scum on its tiles. Dried leaves were everywhere and fish and frogs already inhabited it. Nature transformed a human pool into animal pond.
Now, if you have a chlorine free pool, the best way is to put oxygen into water that is actually beneficial to anyone’s health as well as to the environment. This is done by selecting a water conditioner that contains the technical grade hydrogen peroxide that is required (35%). Hydrogen peroxide may be very harmful, burning the skin and blinding the eye, but when diluted, it provides oxygen to the water. Handle the solution with extreme care when the process is taking place.
The water conditioner is a little pipe that is connected to the pool water’s plumbing so there is a continuous cycle. In the pipe is a core built from metal adding the charge of electricity to the water while it passes through. Because of this, water becomes 400 times smaller making it silky and soft. No need to add water softening chemicals or salt.
Now that you have your chlorine-free pool, enjoy the healthy benefits you can get from it. You can also skinny dip if you want, all because it’s in your own backyard.
