Rashes From Chlorine And Other Skin Problems From Pools

!±8± Rashes From Chlorine And Other Skin Problems From Pools

Public swimming pools contain a high concentration of chlorine to kill bacteria, and your own pool, hot tub or whirlpool also require a way to kill bacteria. A rash from chlorine is a type of chemical dermatitis. If you develop an itchy rash all over your body that looks like chicken pox chances are this is not a chlorine rash, but a skin infection caused by pseudomonas aeruginosa. This bacterium is prevalent in hot tubs, spas, and whirlpools that have not been drained and cleaned properly. Pseudomonas aeruginosa can also cause eye, ear, nose, throat and urinary tract infections. It is important to know what the true source is of your rash and because it may not develop immediately, it can be confusing since during the summer we also encounter bugs, plants that we react to and foods that may create allergic responses.

If you develop a rash from chlorine contact, unfortunately the best way to treat it is to stop swimming as frequently, although you may be able to find a lotion that you can put on before swimming that will act as a barrier between your skin and the irritating chlorine. This is a wise idea if you already suffer from any kind of eczema or extremely dry skin.

If you swim for competitive reasons and train frequently, consider using a full body suit, and a swimming cap. The suit will offer a barrier between the chlorine and your skin, leaving only your hands and feet exposed, which can easily be treated with a lotion before you swim. Goggles will help with any irritation to the eyes.

Over the counter corticosteroid creams will often relieve the problem, especially if the rash only occurs in a small area of the skin. The use of a cool compress may also help and/or bathing in water in which baking soda has been added. Aveeno, calamine lotion and other anti-itch lotions may also help.

Rash from chlorine should disappear after a week to ten days, unless the rash becomes infected, which usually happens if you scratch, then it would be advisable to seek medical attention.

It is important that the pool's chemical levels are kept at optimum levels, as too much chlorine can also lead to red, sore and irritated eyes. Showering immediately after swimming is always essential to wash off any chlorine residue. For pool owners who have kids who invite their friends over to swim, add an outside shower and encourage the visitors to use an antibacterial soap before and after swimming.

Are Salt Water Swimming Pools a Better Choice?

!±8± Are Salt Water Swimming Pools a Better Choice?

There has been a lot of press in recent years touting the benefits of choosing salt water swimming pools. Many people still have questions though. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of owning and operating a salt pool system?

Cost

The initial set up for a salt water pool is more expensive then the traditional chlorine set up. This is usually an important factor for those looking to install a pool on a budget. Over time, a traditional chlorine system will cost you more because you have to keep adding chlorine. Chlorine naturally breaks down so it has to be replenished. Salt water swimming pools do this through a chemical process. Chlorine generators constantly replace the chlorine that is created using a cell containing precious metals. The amount of chlorine generated is very small. Some conditions require the addition of extra chlorine and running the system 24 hours a day. This is hardly cost effective even over a long period of time.

The initial cost of salt is much more expensive then chlorine. The major difference though is that salt rarely has to be replaced. A properly built pool minimizes salt loss from splash outs or leaks. In most cases you will only have to replenish water that has been lost through evaporation. Evaporation leaves the salt behind so in this sense it lasts and lasts. Some erroneous reports have stated that salt water swimming pool owners will have to replace about 400 lbs of salt each year. This would only be true if your average owners is splashing out or losing about 16,000 gallons of water each year. This just does not happen.

What you will end up paying for though are the parts that corrode due to exposure to salt. Pumps and gears can easily succumb to corrosion to due to salt exposure. Natural stones and pool furniture will also suffer from regular exposure.

Maintenance

Most people begin looking into salt water swimming pools because they want a pool that is free of all maintenance. Unfortunately there are many salt water pool dealers that will tell you that your pool will clean and maintain itself. This is simply not true. To achieve the best results, a fine balance is needed between salt, pH, alkalinity and the chlorine that is generated. Frequent checking is needed to make sure that your pool is operating at peak efficiency. If not one or several adjustments may be needed.

For help in maintaining your salt pool, you will need to work only with dealers that sell salt water units. If your pool supplier only works with chlorine pools they may not have the right experience or equipment to help you properly maintain your pool.

So what is the better choice for you? Probably neither. The constant care and difficulty associated with both chlorine and salt systems is enough to turn anyone off. Instead consider a chemical free solution. Chemical free pools are cheaper to maintain and do not expose you to extra salt and chlorine.
