Swimming Pool Chlorinators Ensure Crystal Clear Water

By Cherry Mercer


Leisure time for family and friends around a swimming pool is greatly enhanced by swimming pool chlorinators that guarantee crystal clear water every time a swimmer dives into the water. Whether one is a serious competitor or merely a casual paddler, the quality of the water is important. A green and slimy pool is certain to dissuade everyone from diving in or even floating across on a large blow-up bed.

The home owner demands perfect water condition every day, especially in summer when outdoor fun is at a premium. However, he also expects pool maintenance to be an easy task and not an onerous chore. He does not wish to pay premium prices for upkeep when his budget is already under strain from the cost of outdoor entertainment in the summer months.

Salt swimming pool chlorinators have come to the rescue of many owners in this predicament. Chlorinators have reduced the maintenance budget and decreased the labor involved in maintenance. A bonus is the fact that salt replaces chemicals that may be damaging to the health or personal safety of swimmers.

Traditionally chlorine has been added to keep water clear for bathers. However, the adverse effects of adding chlorine to the water include eye and skin irritation and even bleaching of bathing costumes and hair. Being very careful to add the correct amount daily does not always prevent the irritation or the bleaching effect as the added chemicals react with chlorine created by bodily excretions such as perspiration.

Changing from chemicals to a natural product is not difficult but one must expect the initial cost of the chlorinator method to be high. In order to create the appropriate level of salt in the water, it is necessary to start by adding a couple of hundred kilograms of salt. The exact amount is calculated according to kilograms per liter.

Salt is not expensive but two hundred kilograms of anything is costly. Fortunately, this large amount is a once off requirement. It is also necessary to weigh the expense against the price of chemical cleaners and to take into account that the price is not fixed but rises as rapidly as other living expenses.

Manufacturers are quick to point out that evaporation of water merely leads to increased saline and the initial amount added will only need topping up. The loss of water during cleaning will result in a need to top-up. Excessive splashing by children, or even adults, may also necessitate a top-up.

Many are amazed at this new method of maintenance. Surprisingly the chlorinator system has been in use for more than three decades. It has taken some time for the average owner to convert to this methodology.

The recent rise in popularity of chlorinators is not simply a matter of economics. The benefits of not using chemicals are enormous. Those who suffer from respiratory ailments will notice a positive difference and their swimming pleasure will be greatly enhanced.

Overall, the appeal of easy upkeep and the sanitizing effect of salt should ensure that use of swimming pool chlorinators will appeal to many people. The pleasure of swimming in water that does not burn or cause redness to the eyes is another telling factor when considering cleaning options. Most important for many people is the financial consideration and the inexpensive running costs should swing things. However, do not be surprised if children are expected to have fun without any splashing as they bathe.
