Your Swimming Pool or Spa and Your Health

Having a swimming pool or a spa is a necessity
in warmer climates, but can provide lots of pleasure in cooler
ones, as well. Keeping it clean
and safe is important, and doing
so at a relatively low cost wouldn’t
hurt, either.
How clean (or not) is your swimming pool or
spa?
How many people use your pool or spa? Do they
go in all sweaty, wearing their suntan lotions, creams, and
other cosmetics? You can’t even imagine the bacteria
paradise they create in your pool’s or spa’s water.
Grease and grime from cosmetics and body oils
do more than just feed the germs. They also feed the algae,
destroy your pool’s or spa’s finish, and clog
the filters.
All of these factors increase your risk
for disease and your cost of pool
or spa maintenance.
How can you protect yourself?
With proper care and the use of quality, environment-friendly
cleaning products, your swimming pool or spa can be bacteria-free
and safe for your family and friends to enjoy. This
may also lower your overall pool or spa
maintenance cost just by virtue of keeping your filters
unclogged.
Chlorine is slowly (too
slowly…) losing its favor with pool and spa owners.
As you swim or sit in your pool’s or spa’s chlorinated
water, chlorine is absorbed into your body through your skin.
Such exposure to chlorine may contribute to dry skin, acne
breakouts, cancer, and many other cosmetic and health issues.
As you search for an alternative to chlorine,
consider enzyme-based pool and spa cleaners.
What are enzymes and how can they help your
pool or spa?
Enzymes are natural, non-toxic and non-polluting
proteins that speed up chemical reactions. Reactions that
would normally take months or years to complete, can take
place in seconds!
Enzymes in cleaning products transform odor-
or stain-causing molecules into molecules with completely
benign characteristics. They break down grease and dirt, and
make them disappear. They help keep your pool or spa clean,
and its filter unclogged.
Because enzymes need oxygen to perform their
actions, products that contain them work particularly well
in the presence of water.

pool or spa clean and safe while saving you money.
