Green Options for Pool Cleaning
July 22, 2016 6:52 pmThere’s no better place than Southern California to own a pool. You can almost swim year-round in this mild climate, boasting sunny skies. However, harsh pool chemicals can be tough on your body and the environment. The team at Levine Homes has some alternative approaches to pool cleaning. We want to protect our natural environment and our bodies, so we’ve compiled this list of eco-friendly pool cleaning options.
Environmentally Approved Pool Cleaning
A clean, well-maintained pool sells better. Sanitize yours by using one of several natural minerals that can be substituted for pool chemicals. They work just as well, and you probably won’t even notice the difference in the appearance of your pool. You will notice the difference in your skin, hair, and the environment.
Pool Chemicals
Chitin: Made from crab and lobster shells, it effectively removes pool surface stains and removes cloudy water.
Minerals: Copper and silver ions can remove algae and bacteria from your pool.
Enzymes: breaks down organic matter and compounds.
Pool Cleaning Systems
Ozone system: Generates ozone through use of ultraviolet light. May require additional chemicals to thoroughly sanitize.
Ultraviolet System: Uses ultraviolet radiation to eliminate bacteria in filters. May require additional cleaning solutions.
Embrace The Power Of Green
The green movement is absolutely here to stay. The more individuals chip into the effort the more we can help sustain and enjoy this beautiful planet. Who said luxury items can’t accommodate eco-friendly solutions. This type of change in lifestyle can also be a great selling point to discuss if you plan on selling your home in the near future!
