Frequently Asked Questions
What about treating the pool?

Why
does my pool/spa need to be chlorinated?
Pools should be disinfected
continuously by a chemical which imparts a residual
effect. Disinfectants, or sanitizers, destroy living
microorganisms and bacteria, keeping the pool water
safe. Chlorine is the most common type of disinfectant
used in pools, but you don’t have to choose chlorine;
there are many pool/spa disinfectants available.
What
options do I have other than chlorine?
Today there are several alternatives to chlorine. One
is bromine. This is really only for indoor pools or those
that are primarily covered, like a spa.
A salt-chlorine generator is another option. You’ll
never have to add chlorine again, and the water will
be balanced to a saline solution and is much easier
on the eyes and hair.
