Pool Chlorine Alternatives

It is possible to achieve superior water quality in your swimming pool with less chlorine. While every type of pool sanitizing system requires some level of chlorine, there are several chlorine alternatives for your pool that you can try out today! All of our alternative cleaning agents have been proven to keep your swimming pool sparkling clean while minimizing the use of chlorine. Here are a few pool chlorine alternatives to consider:

  • Pool Saltwater Systems
  • Bromine
  • Mineral-based Sanitizers

Pool Chlorine Alternatives: Why They Might Be A Good Choice

For many years, chlorine has been widely used as the primary disinfectant and sanitizer for pools all around the world. While chlorine is well tolerated by most people, some individuals have certain preferences and concerns that lead them to explore alternative ways of keeping their water clean and fresh.

One of the most common reasons for using a chlorine alternative in your pool is the extensive maintenance and upkeep required to keep the pool water balanced. Most chlorinated pools require regular testing and routine maintenance to ensure that the level of chlorine in the water is adequate. In contrast, many of the alternative sanitizing systems and chemicals on the market can simplify your maintenance routine and reduce the need and frequency of chemical adjustments.

Using a chlorine alternative in your pool is also a great option for anyone who might be sensitive or have an allergy to chlorine. For people struggling with these issues, swimming in a chlorinated pool may cause skin and eye irritation, leading to an uncomfortable swimming experience. In these instances, using a pool chlorine alternative is a great way to keep your pool sparkly clean, while also keeping everyone safe and comfortable.

Lastly, it's important to note that while there are many chlorine alternatives available, each option has its own set of pros and cons. Before considering an alternative, it's advisable to research and consult with pool professionals to understand the specific requirements, costs, and implications associated with each.

Saltwater Pool Systems

A saltwater system, (also called a salt chlorine generator or salt chlorination system) is an increasingly popular alternative to traditional chlorine sanitizing systems that works by changing the chemistry of your water to turn salt into chlorine and back to salt again.

Hayward AquaRite Salt Chlorination System

The AquaRite Salt Chlorination System from Hayward is an affordable way to convert your existing system to saltwater - no plumbing required. The AquaRite is easy to install and requires a very low level of salt to produce consistently sanitized and crystal-clear water. A monitor system that is simple to operate and LED indicator lights make this a top choice in salt chlorine generators.

Natural Chemistry Saltwater Magic Kit

The Saltwater Magic Kit from Natural Chemistry is designed for monthly use in salt water pool systems to optimize chlorine generator performance and water quality. The exclusive mineral-based formula combines salt, metal deactivator, water conditioner, stabilizer, and natural enzymes to increase the life of generator cells, maintain water balance and prevent the buildup of organic matter. Regular use of the Saltwater Magic Kit will save you money and improve your water quality.

Bromine

Using bromine tabs in your pool is a great alternative to chlorine for several reasons. First, bromine is highly effective at disinfecting the water, easily removing any bacteria, viruses, or microorganisms that may be present. Bromine also provides more pH stability than chlorine, especially in hot and cold environments - which is why bromine is a particularly good option for hot tubs and spas.

Mineral Sanitizers

Using a mineral sanitizer system is another effective solution that can be used to clean and sanitize your pool with the use of chlorine. These systems work by releasing minerals like silver, copper, and magnesium into the water, which work to keep your pool clean and free of bacteria and algae. Some of Doheny’s most popular mineral pool cleaning systems are linked below.

What Is An Alternative To Chlorine In Pools?

There are a number of chlorine alternatives available on the market today. These alternatives include saltwater pool systems, algaecides, and mineral sanitizers. In addition to these options, many people interested in chlorine alternatives will look at using bromine, ionizers, and ozonators as an effective solution to keep their pool clean.

How Much Does It Cost To Run A Saltwater Pool?

The cost to run a saltwater pool varies depending on a number of factors such as the size of the pool, the temperature you set the water to, where you live, and more. However, you can expect the utility costs associated with running your pool to range anywhere from $70 to $2,000 per year.

Can You Convert A Chlorine Pool To A Saltwater Pool?

Yes, it is possible to convert a chlorine pool to a saltwater pool, but there are a few things to consider. First, you’ll need to invest in some new equipment including a salt chlorination system, We recommend something similar to the SwimPure Plus Salt System. You’ll also need to buy swimming pool salt for your new system. Lastly, since saltwater pools operate differently, some pool maintenance providers are unable to service them. If you service your pool yourself, make sure to research the pros and cons of a saltwater pool and the maintenance requirements. Doheny’s has many options if you are looking to cut back on the use of harsh chemicals in your pool.
