Perks of Low-Chem Pool Care

Imagine swimming in water that’s good for you, easy on your pocketbook, and safer for the environment. When we talk about eco-friendly swimming, we’re referring to making sure that the water in the pool is healthy for us to swim in and doesn’t harm the environment. It’s all about finding ways to take care of our pools in a sustainable way.
How can we reduce chemical use and still maintain pool water balance and pool pH control and balance total alkalinity? We’ll get to that, but let’s first talk about why it’s better for our health and the environment to use fewer chemicals in our swimming pools.
Health Benefits
Have you ever noticed how sometimes after swimming in a pool, your skin feels itchy or your eyes get red? That’s because of the chemicals in the water. Using fewer chemicals allows for a healthier swimming experience. Even diluted, muriatic acid can cause issues with some people, which is why a muriatic acid swimming pool should be avoided. Muriatic acid can also cause problems when fumes are inhaled or if it comes in direct contact with the skin, which is why it is imperative to use extreme caution when handling this volatile chemical.
Environmental Impact
Pools with fewer chemicals are better for plants and animals. Keeping your pool clean without using a ton of chemicals is not only good for you and the environment, but it’s also easier than you might think thanks to the three-part Clearwater Pool Systems.
