Great Tips From Plumbers On How To Use
Alternative Disinfectants For Chlorine in Your
Pool

• Chlorine is a substance commonly used in keeping
  most
• swimming pools clean. However, too much chlorine
• mixed with water can provide some disadvantages
• such as eye irritation, strong odor, and constant
  supervision of
• its pH level. Some plumbers would recommend
  alternative
• pool disinfectants as substitute for chlorine as
  they can also
• provide the same benefits without the chemical
  side effects.
• Some pool owners prefer to use bromine in their
  pools since it
• shares much of its benefits with chlorine, except
  the odor. This
• chemical can also kill bacteria, as well as to
  break down and
• eliminate waste such as skin flakes, oil and
  lotion. Using a
• floating bromine dispenser, also called the
  brominator, is the
• best way to add bromine into the pool.

• A certain group of chemicals, called persulfates,
  can also be used
• as substitute for chlorine. They can eliminate
  bacteria as well as
• bather waste. However, they are not that
  effective in preventing
• algae growth around the pool. Persulfates can
  come in tablets or
• packets that dissolve into the pool's water.
• Polymeric biguanides are also used to disinfect
  swimming pools.
• They are ideal for pools that have not been
  treated with chlorine
• before. If a chlorinated pool is to use polymeric
  biguanides, the
• pool owners should have their pools rid of any
  traces of chlorine first,
• since the two substances cannot be used together.

• While some pool disinfectants totally replace
  chlorine, other substances are
• used along with small amounts of chlorine in
  order to lessen the negative
• chemical effects. Copper and silver share the
  same advantages with
• chlorine. They kill bacteria, as well as prevent
  the growth and development
• of algae around the pool. Silver forms ions and
  dispenses them into the
• water when an electric-powered ionizer is
  attached to the pool's plumbing
• system.
• If you have your own pool at home, it is best
  that you find a plumbing contractor
• and get some good advice on which substance would
  be best as substitute for
• chlorine in your pool. Getting informed about the
  different substitutes that you
• can use other than chlorine will allow you to
  maintain your pool. Remember that
• it is important that you filter your pool
  regularly to ensure that it is safe for use. Too
• much buildup of waste can be a health risk for
  the bather therefore you should
• ensure that your pool is properly maintained
  especially if your kids are using it as
• well. In this regard, you can enlist the help of
  plumbing experts, like the plumbers
• Sacramento or plumbers San Jose, to ensure that
  the water in the pool is free of
• any form of contaminants to ensure a pleasurable
  swimming experience.
