Have you ever dreamed of floating in the therapeutic Dead Sea? Maytronics Mineral Swim has created the exceptional pool experience, allowing you to bring a piece of this environment straight to your backyard. Mineral Swim minerals are sustainably sourced from the Dead Sea in Israel. They are 100 per cent natural magnesium-dense minerals that are added to the pool water as an alternative to the more traditional chlorine or salt pools. The high levels of magnesium in a mineral pool swim system mean the water feels softer and moisturising when swimming.p

The Mineral Swim system combines ozone purification with the magnesium-rich minerals, giving the pool owner healthier pool water. It will reduce the owner’s needs for added chemicals by up to 80 per cent, so you get a magnesium-rich pool with less chlorine and fewer harmful chemicals.

Mineral Swim has a tangible therapeutic benefit because of the ozone water purification system that works in conjunction with the minerals to purify and sanitise the water. Ozone sanitisation is significantly more powerful than traditional sanitisation systems. Ozone is a naturally occurring oxidiser that protects our planet in the atmosphere and is used widely to sanitise both air and water. If you drink bottled water, odds are it was sanitised with ozone.

Eliminating the need for harsh chemicals results in a chlorine-smell-free pool, no more itchy and red eyes, and no dry skin. Other benefits include better overall water quality, removing all the negatives of a traditional chlorine and saltwater pool (the corrosive nature), and the health/therapeutic effects of the magnesium levels in the pool water.

The downside is the initial upfront cost. While this is the most expensive option initially, further savings are often realised in things like reduced electricity usage and chemical costs.

Converting your pool is easy and can be done to both newly built pools and existing ones. The conversion is as simple as installing the added ozone purification and other systems based on what is currently installed, then adding in the required amount of minerals.

The Maytronics Mineral Swim system is Climate Care Certified. This means you are not only providing your loved ones with a healthy pool experience, you are also helping the environment.

The Naked System is the latest in fresh-water technology that requires far less chemicals and maintenance than traditional sanitisers. Chlorine, high salt levels and other chemicals used in pool water can irritate skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, and can cause harmful reactions in allergy or asthma sufferers. This breakthrough system safely removes harmful bacteria from your pool without the need for harsh chemicals.

“We’ve combined two very traditional concepts with revolutionary technology to deliver the best in pool sanitation,” says Darren Milne, director of Naked Pools. “It’s a very similar technology used by NASA. What you’re left with is healthy, rejuvenating, crystal-clear water that contains less chlorine than the water from your tap!

“You can use the water from your pool directly on your garden (subject to local council regulations) — it’s clean and safe, plus there are no hazardous chemicals going down the public drainage systems,” explains Darren.

The benefits of a Naked Pool include:

• Healthier freshwater alternative for your family
• Perfect for asthmatics, psoriasis and eczema sufferers
• Savings up to $1000pa on running and chemical costs
• Longer-lasting pool equipment and surrounds
• Customised to pool for easy maintenance
• No need to wash swimwear or shower after use
• No red eyes or irritated skin
• Lowest TDS (total dissolved solids) means crystal-clear water

Features of a Naked Pool system include:

• Digital control unit customised to your pool size for simple maintenance
• Smart intelligence ensures exact copper levels are maintained
• OXI boosts function for very heavy bather loads
• Dual timers for sanitising and then heating/solar/in-floor cleaning
• Simple backwash function
• One-button winter mode function
• Longer-lasting oxidiser
• Automatic notifications for ioniser replacement, high TDS, temperature control
• Highest-quality service and support

Imagine taking a swim in silky smooth fresh water, no chlorine burning your eyes and not having to take a shower after having a dip. Naked Pools’ system makes swimming a more natural, gentler experience.

The post The healthier alternative: a breakthrough pool filtration system appeared first on Completehome.

The good news is that it is possible to reduce pool maintenance and improve water quality with a sanitisation system that relies more on modern technology.

Chlorine – be it tablets, liquid or salt generators – is the most common pool disinfectant. It’s a powerful sanitiser and historically effective at keeping pool water clean. Much of its popularity was based around the fact it performs three essential functions: sanitising (killing bacteria and germs), oxidising (controlling organic debris from perspiration and body oils), and deterring algae.

While chlorine has increasingly come under fire for its strong odour and ability to trigger respiratory conditions such as asthma, it’s actually the presence of chlorine by-products (chloramines) which cause the chemical reactions. Also known as combined chlorine, chloramines are formed when ‘free’ chlorine reacts with ammonia-like compounds called amines, which are introduced into the pool by urine and perspiration.

The secret to healthier pool water is a secondary sanitiser and pH controller

Most pool industry professionals would agree that chlorine alone is no longer the sole solution to maintaining clear, healthy pool water. In fact, there is growing awareness that you can enhance chlorine performance simply by adding an alternative, or secondary, sanitisation system.

Modern pools need an active residual and a secondary system that picks up where the residual stops. By combining proven and tested technologies, it is possible to have a pool that is clean, safe and clear.

Hydroxzone Ozonator produces hydroxyl radical, one of the most powerful oxidisers found in nature

Ozone systems are popular secondary sanitisers because of their ability to reduce the amount of chlorine usage to maintain a free available chlorine residual, which effectively destroys the chloramines that cause red eyes, dry skin and respiratory irritations. It also eliminates “shocking,” providing more oxidation than free available chlorine while simultaneously improving water clarity.

Waterco’s Hydroxzone Ozonators use hybrid patented technology to produce both ozone and hydroxyl radicals, which combine to add another level of effectiveness in terms of oxidation and sanitisation.

Hydroxzone system uses a modified VUV (high intensity ultraviolet light) ozone tube as a corona electrode to simulate nature (hybrid ozone acts like the sun). The result is an ozone generator that produces ozone using corona discharge technology and high energy light in one powerful system.

ChemFlo continuously analyses your pool water chemistry and controls the pool’s pH

Consistent pH levels are important for a number of reasons: they ensure the sanitiser works effectively, protects the pool and equipment from corrosion or scaling, reduces irritations like red eyes, and creates a more pleasant swimming experience.

Waterco’s ChemFlo automatic control system measures and precisely controls set levels of chlorine and pH balance through feedback from inline sensors. This ensures the safest possible swimming conditions. Costs are reduced by minimising chemical use and preventing excessive addition of chemicals that may damage the pool and its equipment.

Chemflo automatically maintains the required chlorine level and eliminate problems associated with periods of very high or low chlorine levels throughout the year. Fewer fluctuations in chlorine levels mean fewer fluctuations in pH levels. This adds up to more stable, balanced water.
