Care Home Pools
Safety and optimal water quality for elderly residents
Typically, the users most sensitive to traditional pool disinfection systems are children or elderly people. Thanks to its benefits, with much softer and non-aggressive water, salt chlorination becomes a perfect alternative for pools in care homes.
As you well know, water has therapeutic effects on body and mind, and is increasingly used to improve the daily lives of elderly residents. With a salt chlorinator, care home managers can have peace of mind knowing their pool has the highest quality water. In addition, we greatly reduce the costs and time spent on facility maintenance.
Health for elderly residents
A salt chlorination system installed in a care home pool greatly helps us to maintain a healthier and safer space.
Non-aggressive water for the skin and eyes of elderly residents
With age, our sensitivity in both skin and eyes increases. Salt chlorination helps us avoid the typical eye irritation and makes the water non-aggressive for the skin.
Longer and more pleasant swims
The therapeutic effect of water is well known. It is logical that the softer and more pleasant the water we swim in, the longer we want to stay in the pool, with the consequent beneficial effects for body and mind.
