Why Choose Copper?
Choosing the right sanitation system is crucial for maintaining a healthy and enjoyable swimming environment. While all three options provide effective sanitation, Copper / Oxygen stands out for its low maintenance, gentle water feel, and eco-friendly attributes. If you're looking for a modern, efficient, and sustainable solution, Copper / Oxygen is the ideal choice for your swimming pool.
Swimming Pool Sanitation Options
-
Copper / Oxygen
How It Works: Copper ionization involves the release of copper ions into the pool water, which effectively inhibits the growth of algae and bacteria without the need for harsh chemicals. Oxygen is generated to boost dissolved oxygen as a sanitizer awaiting your bathers.
Benefits:
• Chemical-Free: Enjoy a pool with minimal chemical use, resulting in a more natural swimming experience.
• Long-Lasting: Copper ionization systems require infrequent maintenance and are cost-effective over time.
• Environmentally Friendly: Copper is a natural element that is safe for the environment and gentle on pool surfaces.
Considerations:
• Initial Investment: While copper systems may have a higher upfront cost, they offer long-term savings and reduced chemical usage.
• Regular Monitoring: Ensuring optimal copper levels is essential for effective sanitation. -
Chlorine
How It Works: Chlorine is the most common method of pool sanitation. It effectively kills bacteria and algae, ensuring your pool water stays clear and safe.
Benefits:
• Proven Effectiveness: Chlorine has been used for decades and is known for its reliable disinfection properties.
• Availability: Widely available and easily accessible in various forms such as liquid, tablets, and granules.
Considerations:
• Maintenance: Regular monitoring and adjustment of chlorine levels are required.
• Chemical Smell: Chlorine can produce a distinct odor, which many swimmers find unpleasant.
• Skin and Eye Irritation: Sensitive individuals might experience irritation after swimming in chlorinated water.
• Material Degradation: Pool items such as swimwear, floats, and other soft goods deteriorate rapidly from chlorine water. -
Salt
How It Works: Saltwater pools use a salt-chlorine generator to convert salt into chlorine, providing a gentler alternative to traditional chlorine pools.
Benefits:
• Softer Water: Saltwater pools are known for their smooth, silky feel, which is gentle on the skin and eyes.
• Reduced Chemical Handling: With saltwater systems, there's no need to handle chlorine directly.
Considerations:
• Initial Cost: Saltwater systems can be more expensive to install compared to traditional chlorine pools.
• Maintenance: Salt cells require regular cleaning and periodic replacement.
• Corrosion: Saltwater can be corrosive to pool equipment and surrounding surfaces, especially masonry.
• Design Limitations: Pool owners cannot utilize most masonry in their pool design because salt etches the stone quickly.
