Imagine diving into crystal-clear water that not only refreshes your body but invigorates your senses with a touch of the ocean. Picture a pool experience that’s not just about leisure, but about wellness. Saltwater evokes the essence of the ocean. Not only do you feel revitalized, but you also reap several benefits by choosing a saltwater pool. This luxury can be achievable in your own home, by choosing to fill your pool with saltwater.

1) The Saltwater Switch: Enjoy Softer Skin and Stress Relieving Benefits

Saltwater softens the skin and provides a soothing swimming experience. If you have sensitive skin that a traditional chlorine pool irritates or dries out, switching to a saltwater pool may be the choice for you. In addition to benefitting your skin, your eyes are also better off. Submerging yourself under the water in a pool peacefully relaxes your body. Improper chemical balance in a common chlorine pool can impact the enjoyment of this. Over-chlorinated water irritates the eyes when exposed to them, while saltwater feels more natural.

Chlorine produces the feeling of having to take a shower after a dip in the pool, due to a lack of moisture and tightness within your skin. Saltwater makes for one of the gentlest exfoliants as well. Finding exfoliants on the softer side can be very difficult when you have reactive skin, that breaks out in rash from fragrances or other ingredients commonly found with the use of store-bought products. By immersing yourself in salt water, you exfoliate your skin which improves overall health and softness. Repeated exfoliation prevents and aids the treatment of flare-ups with conditions such as psoriatic skin, eczema, and acne. These skin conditions cleaned by saltwater protect them from infections.

Saltwater additionally eases stress and anxiety by acting as a type of therapy, inducing a calming and detoxifying effect along with a Zen mood.

2) Discover the Calming Power of Saltwater Pools: Pain Relief

Finding relief from the pain of sore muscles and joints may feel like a never-ending cycle for some. Many try treatment after treatment to attempt to soothe their discomfort. Epsom salts, which aid in comfort for these types of pains, can have the same effect as salt water. The pain-reducing benefits of salt are associated with the presence of bromine which has been proven to help those suffering from arthritis and other types of muscle pain.

Swimming is a healthy exercise for joints and muscles, however, in combination with salt water, this provides a total immersion of relief to those who need assistance with muscle and joint pain. Putting the pain-relievers to the side, and surrounding yourself in the presence of tranquil water, may be just what the doctor ordered!

3) Protecting Loved Ones: More Benefits of Saltwater Pools

As pools create spaces for friends and family to gather, you want to ensure you choose high-quality water. When you utilize chlorine in your pool, the chemical needs to be stored as a powder, or in block form. Since this is such a highly concentrated chemical, danger can arise if placed in the wrong hands. When used improperly, or misplaced, the chlorine can be poisonous, corrosive, or even a fire hazard. This is important to highlight especially if young children consistently play in the pool area, or where the chlorine is located. With saltwater, however, circulation within your pool’s generator system occurs for cleaning, so you do not have to worry about storing a chemical for future use.

4) Crystal-Clear Bliss: Low-Maintenance Cleaning

The salt contained in saltwater works as well as chlorine found in traditional pools. Saltwater produces chlorine by using dissolved salt to generate the chemical on its own. Electrolysis, the name of this process, produces hypochlorous and acts as an effective sanitizer for the pool. This makes maintaining the pool much easier, as no cleaning properties need to be manually put into the pool. In addition, your saltwater pool will require less overhead expense, as you do not need to purchase chlorine for future disinfecting use. Normally, chlorine for home use is sold in tablet form, or in granules. Upkeep for using chlorine is more demanding, as the product needs to be replenished consistently to maintain clean water.

5) Embrace the Refreshing Benefits

Opting for a saltwater pool provides a multitude of assets. From a positive impact on your personal well-being to ease of maintenance, a saltwater pool remains an excellent choice for any homeowner looking to enhance their aquatic experience. Whether you’re considering a switch from a traditional pool to a saltwater system or starting from scratch with a brand-new pool in your backyard, you’ll derive unparalleled satisfaction by choosing saltwater.
