Project Healthy Choices

Every year, many swimming pools are built across the world. It is no doubt that all people love spending time in their pools. But, this can cause a huge impact on the environment. The swimming pools consume heavy electricity, leads to loss of water and chemical use. This is the reason people are opting for eco friendly pools. What this means is that it is a chemical free pool system which utilizes ionization method for keeping the pool tidy and clean.

The system of pool ionizer is an effective technique that works through the use of copper electrodes and a low voltage Dc current to put copper ions into the swimming pool water.  This whole method is totally safe, but also fatal to bacteria. The reason for this is that the level of copper in the water is actually less than the recommended drinking water standards.

There are lots of eco-friendly alternatives available these days and this makes is difficult for people looking for such pools, a bit difficult to choose the right one. Due to this many people end up opting for a salt water pools system which can be of real damage to their health as these salt-contained pools create chlorine and very sensitive to the change in temperature. Salt water is harmful to human body.

I am sure that no one wants their children to be swimming in such pools. These pools may even need the use of shock to prevent them from bacteria outbreaks.  As compared to eco friendly pools, salt-chlorine pool systems use more energy and resources from the environment. Eco friendly pools which uses pool ionizer techniques utilizes less amount of electricity.

Pool ionizer method is a safe method and does not require any harmful chemicals to be added into water. However, you may need to add a pH leveller in your pool to make it more cleaner and safer for day to day use. The cost of operating a pool using ionizer technique is much less compared to the chlorine based pool. Copper electrodes need to be replaced after certain period of time, but can last from four to seven years.
Manufactures also provide warranty on casing and electrodes for certain time.

So, if you are planning to join a pool or planning to build your own pool, you should consider the eco friendly pool with pool ionizer system. This would prove economical and well as beneficial for your health.
