No matter how crystal clear your pool may look, it is still saturated with chemical contaminants. Using chemicals is a circular cycle that costs a lot of money and occupies your time on top of the risky health hazards. Chlorine is highly toxic, and it is not the only culprit.

The concern to most is not the necessarily the chemicals added to the pools, but the disinfection byproducts (DBPs) being produced.  Chlorine combines with organics such as dead skin cells, body oils, algae, and microorganisms to produce trihalomethanes (THMs).  Other organic compounds such as chloroform, halogenated acetic acids, acetonitriles, and hydrocarbons can be found in swimming pools.  THMS, which are toxic and can be carcinogenic, can be introduced into the body by ingestion, inhalation, and derma absorption.

Salt water pools (SWG pools) use electrolysis to convert sodium chloride into sodium hypochlorite chlorine, with hypochlorous acid being the active.   Therefore, salt water pools mean the same risks as chlorinated pools.  Despite popular belief, salt water pools are indeed chlorinated pools.  How else would the algae would be controlled.  Does not algae grow in the ocean?

Ozone may be considered a chlorine free alternative.  After all, it does occur naturally in the environment.  However, chlorine is still required.   Ozone is fast-acting option, but it leaves no sanitation in the water once it quickly evaporates. It also dissolves rubber washers in pumps, filters, and pool fixtures and must be used in conjunction with chlorine.

Hydrogen Peroxide is non-toxic and probably the most organic method compared to the above, but compared to ionization, is very expensive and cannot boast the health benefits of chemical free pools. 

Copper has 19 very important health benefits and does not produce disinfection byproducts in pools.  To be honest, you would have to drink at least 2 and a half gallons to reach the daily minimal requirement for copper ingestion.  That is not feasible, but the point to be made is that copper ionization is a health and effective alternative to chlorinated pools.  Making it is the best option for a chlorine free pool.  In order to protect your pool and your swimmers, ionization is your safest and most-effective option. A chemical free pool IS crystal clear.

With the Intec Ionization technology, you will have a chemical free pool.  As with ALL swimming pool sanitation methods, one must manage pH and clarity.  To clarify, anything you need to maintain your ionized water is sacrificial and will no longer remain in that chemical. For example, as with ALL pools, you have to maintain pH. Acids are used to lower pH and bases are used to increase alkalinity and pH. There is no other way. When one adds an acid (all acids are hydrogen based), the hydrogen combines with the alkalinity to produce water.    H+ + OH- => H2O. The opposite holds when adding baking soda to increase pH. Since these chemicals no longer exist in your pool, thus chemical free.

Intec has offered these chemical free pool systems since 1973 and has a toll free number to support our clients. Call today and see how you can convert your chlorinated pool into a chemical free pool.  Never be frustrated again.
