Organic Pools Introduction
Did you know that using chlorine is an option?
Can you safely use a swimming pool that is completely chlorine free? Yes you can and the simple solution is to follow the template that mother nature created for us.
Organic swimming pools are also referred to as natural swimming pools, swimming ponds or biological swimming pools (bio-pools). This type of swimming pool refers to a swimming pool which has been specifically constructed to recreate the natural water chemistry found in nature. In other words a natural swimming pool does not utilize traditional swimming pool chemical treatments such as chlorine, bromine or other water sterilization chemicals.
Origins of organic swimming pools
Organic swimming pools are almost unheard of in North America, however they have been in use in Germany and Austria since the mid 1980’s. Leading health research suggests that chlorine found in traditional swimming pools is directly linked to a near epidemic of asthma in bathers, especially children.Is chlorine bad for your health?
Yes. Given that chlorine is a known carcinogen as well it would seem that this form of water treatment for swimming pools is likely to be replaced at some point. The question remains though as to which chemical to replace it with in maintaining a safe and clean swimming pool environment. There are a number of options available such as bromine but these harsh chemicals have many of the same negatives that make chlorine a poor choice for your pool.learn about conventional and organic pool chemicals
