Salt water pool systems use electrolysis to convert dissolved salt into chlorine sanitizer. The salt cell generates chlorine from sodium chloride, eliminating the need to manually add chlorine while maintaining proper sanitation.
Yes, cloudy pool water can make you sick by harboring harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites that cause infections, skin irritation, and respiratory issues. The cloudiness indicates poor water quality and inadequate sanitation.
You need chlorine for daily sanitation, but traditional pool shock products are optional. Liquid chlorine can serve both purposes and is often more effective than granular shock for treating pool problems.
Swimming pools with improper water chemistry and sanitation can create conditions that contribute to yeast infections. Maintaining proper chlorine levels (1-3 ppm), pH balance (7.4-7.6), and following post-swim hygiene practices significantly reduces this risk.
