Eco-Friendly Swimming Pool Water Treatment
Swimming pool chemicals are nasty, corrosive and potentially harmful. Every year a huge number of people visit hospital accident and emergency departments as a result of injury caused by pool chemicals. But are are there any alternative ways to keep your pool water clean and safe to use?
Many people looking for a green alternative will resort to using salt water treatment. But they don’t reallise that salt water pools actually create chlorine and they are very sensitive to temperature changes.
One effective alternative is to use a swimming pool ioniser system. These use copper electrodes and a low DC current to put copper ions into your pool water. Algae and bacteria don’t like copper so they are effectively killed off, but the copper levels are low enough to be safe for humans.
So if you are looking for a truly green alternative to swimming pool water treatment chemicals then a pool ioniser system should be just what you are looking for.

This is very timely, I rent a house in spain which has a pool and have been using chlorine - didn’t even think about alternatives.
