If you are a pool owner and want to upgrade the features of your pool, then choosing the right treatment system for your pool water is necessary. There are different types of pool systems that you can choose from. Each of these systems has a different method of working. You’ll need to do complete research about these systems to know which system is the best for the needs and requirements of your household. The main purpose of the pool treatment system is keeping your pool water completely clean. But you have to keep in mind that not all systems offer the same features. Here are the different types of pool systems.
Types of Pool Systems
The different types of pool systems include chlorinated systems, saltwater systems, UV systems and ozone systems.
#1: Chlorinated Systems
Chlorine is the traditional form of pool sanitation. It is used widely by many households as it is easily available and can be found in different forms, while accommodating different pool materials and finishes. Whether you want it in a gas form, granular form, liquid form or tablet form. Chlorine acts as a sanitizer that can effectively work for sanitizing the pool even long after it has been added to the water. The only drawback to this system is that it poses risk of some chlorine-related health problems such as lung infection, allergies, red eyes and asthma.
#2: Saltwater Systems
This system was introduced in the market in the 1980’s and it became quite popular gradually. If you compare this to the traditional pool system, you will find the salt system needs least amount of maintenance. It also has noticeably much less harmful effects. There are many pool owners who choose this saltwater system for a number of reasons, including softer water in the pool. But even if many people believe that the saltwater pools are completely free from chlorine, they are not 100% chlorine-free.
#3: UV Systems
Another system that you can consider for the pool water is the UV system. This system functions by destroying the bacteria in the pool water that are passing over the UV bulb. This system offers a great reliable form of sanitization for your pool by successfully destroying all the microbes that are resistant to chlorine. It can also destroy other unwanted contaminants reducing the use of some toxic chemicals.
#4: Ozone Systems
An ozone system uses a very effective and advanced process of oxidation that injects the ozone gas (O3) into the circulation system of the swimming pool. This helps in oxidizing the contaminants of the pool and also helps in destroying the chlorine-resistant microbes. The ozone system that generates an electrical energy can break the oxygen molecules for creating a chemical reaction that can produce ozone. The best part is that ozone system is 100 times stronger than that of the traditional chlorine.
Conclusion
So, these are the different types of pool systems that you can consider for your swimming pool. You must choose the best system that perfectly suits with your pool system, material and household needs. Every system has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. You have to consider all of them before you finally take a decision. Make sure to consider ease of use, maintenance, price and environmental impact while you are buying one for your pool and now it’s time to get your pool party started!
