Advantages of saltwater pools
Before delving into the technical details of poolside lighting, it is important to understand why saltwater pools are becoming the preferred choice for many residential and hospitality situations.
Reduced risk to skin and respiratory tract: prolonged inhalation of chlorine can be irritating and cause respiratory problems in more sensitive individuals such as children and the elderly. Chlorine, if dosed incorrectly, can cause respiratory tract irritation as well as dryness and skin irritation with prolonged exposure.
Less chemical maintenance: saltwater pools use a natural chlorination system that reduces the need to add chlorine manually. This results in less maintenance work and more pleasant water for the skin and eyes.
Better swimming experience: salt water is generally softer and less irritating to the skin than water treated with traditional chlorine, making the swimming experience more pleasant.
Long-term savings: although the initial investment may be higher, saltwater pools are generally cheaper to maintain in the long run due to reduced chemical costs.
Lower environmental impact: the use of salt instead of chemical chlorine significantly reduces the release of harmful chemicals into the environment. Traditional chlorine, in fact, can have harmful effects not only on the ecosystem, but also on air and water quality.
