Swimming pools could be one of the hardest exterior structures to clean at home. A pool never comes cheap, and for this, you need to clean and maintain it at all times. However, do you want all the swimming fun taken away by your cleaning and maintenance? Do you want to spend your free time tending the pool when you could have been taking the plunge?
If you want to spend more time swimming in your own pool rather than cleaning it, you might want to consider fiberglass swimming pools. A fiberglass pool does not need much cleaning as algae and other micro-organisms cannot easily develop in its non-porous surfaces. With this, you don't need to scrub it and pour lots of chemicals to kill the micro-organisms. But still, it would need chemicals, especially chlorine, right?
Not all owners would be careful with the amount of chlorine they would apply, and too much chlorine can have some negative side effects. For one, it can increase swimmers' risk of asthma as they can inhale the chemical as they swim. For two, the sweat and pee of swimmers can react with the chlorine to form chloramines which are toxic breakdown products. It would be best to consult as expert swimming pool maintenance about the right amount of chlorine to be used for cleaning.
Many pool owners would want to check out swimming pools that will not smell like cleaning products. One option they should look into is a natural swimming pool. Natural swimming pools are designed to be chemical-free. How is this possible?
Well, such pools are built as integral parts of a garden, blending with its surrounding landscape to allow a natural cleaning process similar to the natural cleaning processes of a lake. There are certain water plants that can replace chemicals, thus making the pool look like a pond but more like a natural aquatic garden. These water plants have certain microbes that can break down potential molecules and pollutants in the water. The plants absorb the nutrients from the water to oxygenate the water ecosystem and deter growth of algae. Natural swimming pools are self-cleaning.
Even conventional pools can be self-cleaning with the help of an in-floor cleaning system. It is a programmable circulation and cleaning system. With it, you can program your pool to clean itself automatically. How does this system works?
This system allows nozzles or pop-up sweeping heads to be installed onto the floor of your pool. With the help of a distributor water valve, these nozzles or heads use high pressurized water to clear away dirt and debris and bring them down to the bottom to allow the water to be filtered out and the dirt and debris carried to a container which acts like a waste basket.
The in-floor cleaning system helps circulate the water well and increases your pool's heating efficiency. Because this system always works, you can always have a clean pool every time and anytime.
All or fiber glass pools Sydney can indeed be self-cleaning pools. You should contact your pool builder to install an in-floor cleaning system or turn your pool into a natural swimming pool. With a self-cleaning pool, you can have more time for fun.
