Ever wonder why your nose and eyes sometimes hurt after you’ve been swimming in chlorine and saltwater pools? If you enjoy swimming underwater, your nose and eyes might be feeling the effects of high levels of chlorine or pool salt. You may have gotten a burning or stinging sensation and wondered what exactly that meant, well, we have the answer. You are actually getting burned by the byproducts of chlorine, a harsh and harmful chemical that most people use to keep their swimming pools clean and free of algae and bacteria.
Chlorine kills just about everything it comes into contact with. While it does kill the contaminants in your swimming pool, it’s also poisonous to humans and pets. Just by being around a chlorinated or saltwater pool, your nose and eyes can start to tingle and burn. If you are Asthmatic, it can induce an Asthma attack.
Despite the trickery of deceptive marketing, saltwater pools are 100% chlorine based swimming pools. By dumping in large amounts of pool salt into the swimming pool and using high voltage electricity into the salt cell, chlorine is generated. The actual correct name for salt cells, is Hypochlorous Acid Generator but the name sounds a little too scary, so they are branded as a saltwater system. Chlorine levels are often very high in saltwater pools, this is due to the fact that they are consistently creating and generating chlorine. Traditional chlorine based pools often have lower levels of chlorine due to rapid break down of chlorine by UV from the Sun. That is why you have to consistently add chlorine to your swimming pool. That is why your pool guy tells you not to go swimming in your pool for 24 hours after they dump chlorine in your pool that is because the Sun’s UV will rapidly break down the chlorine.
If this has you worried, fear no more because there is a way to ensure that your pool stays sanitized without exposing you and your family to dangerous caustic chemicals.
The Go Chemless Bio Sanitizer system is a revolutionary device that sanitizes your swimming pool using natural silver and copper ions which does not break down from the Sun’s UV rays. Copper is used many applications, we have copper pipes in our house and we eat with silverware. Hospitals in Europe have been using the cooper and silver to sanitize the water since the 1980’s. Copper and Silver are very effective with very low trace levels of TriChlor to combat Legionnaires’ disease which is a type of pneumonia that is caused by Legionella and is also excellent in combating BioFilm to name a few.
