Pool Chlorine Alternatives: Cleaner Water with Less Chlorine
You can achieve crystal-clear pool water with fewer harsh chemicals by exploring chlorine alternatives. While most pools require some chlorine, Doheny’s offers proven alternative sanitizers that reduce chlorine use while maintaining excellent water quality.
Popular Chlorine Alternatives:
- Saltwater Systems: Convert your pool to saltwater with easy-to-install systems that generate chlorine naturally.
- Bromine: A gentle sanitizer ideal for spas and pools, providing better pH stability.
- Mineral Sanitizers: Use minerals like silver and copper to keep your water clean with less chlorine.
