Keep Your Pool Clean and Environmentally Friendly This Summer

These days it seems everyone is concerned with the environment and what we can do to help keep it clean and healthy. Living in Florida I have had swimming pools in my yard several times during my life, but I never really considered how the
�pools and the supplies we used to keep them clear and working impacted the environment.Now even though I don't have a pool of my own I do have a lot of friends with pools. A few of them have asked me to help them find more environmentally friendly products to use in their pools. Most people would be surprised to at how many chemicals and how much work goes into keeping the normal backyard pool clean. There's also a lot of expense involved in keeping your pool clean.The one thing that most people are familiar with in regards to swimming pools is the chlorine used to keep the water clean and clear. Chlorine is also a very harmful chemical to add to our environment. Chlorine is very strong and gets the job done fast, it's also fairly cheap compared to most other water treatments. But if you're willing to spend a little more there are other products that will get the job done.The Baquacil is a three part system that may not work as fast as chlorine, but it also won't bother your skin or eyes and you won't get out of the pool with green hair. One application will control bacteria for 10-14 days.You may also want to consider the ECOsmarte system which is another gentle way to keep your pool healthy. Imagine how nice it would be to get out of the pool without having to shower or wash your hair to remove the dangerous chemicals.Both the Baquacil and ECOsmarte Systems can be purchased online or at your local pool store. The ECOsmart Water System can even be used in your home to help purify your household water supply.You can also add a little fun to your pool as well as heat the water naturally by using Solar Sun Rings. These cheerful rings absorb up to 50% of sunlight during the day and turn it into deep water heating. At night they insulate the water to keep in the heat from trapped during the day.Solar Sun Rings range in price from 20 to 30 dollars for each ring. So depending on the size of your pool they can be a little expensive.Sources:Keep Your Pool Clean and Environmentally Friendly This Summer
