Someone asked me recently the following question regarding my concern about salt pools and the fact that they are just chlorinated systems.
What’s healthier swimming in a chlorine pool or the SF Bay? Is there a public swimming pool in LA or SF you recommend?
The answer is tougher than you might expect. One is high levels of mostly one very reactive chemical. The other is a hodge podge of bacteria and known and unknown componds that can have many types of interactions with our bodies.
I also personally know some people who swim in public/community pools and they hate the chemicals and the chemical smell on their hair and clothes afterwards. So it got me thinking about all the people I know who have swimming pools that are hardly ever used. And in my opinion they would love to have a new friend join them in getting more use out of their pool.
And here is an idea. Talk to, call your neighbors. Talk to people at work. Look at an aerial view of your neighborhood and look at the pools. Talk to people you know and find out if someone has a swimming pool that they would be interested in converting to a non-chemical system.
One person can supply the pool and the other could pay for the installation of my system. You could also get a group of three or more. You all benefit, and it is far less of an impact on any one of you. And guess what- you generate a community as well
Just an idea.
