- 24gttghh 8y agoWhich still produces chlorine[0] [0]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_water_chlorination https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_water_chlorination Seawater salt is NaCl after all.
- learc83 8y agoSaltwater pools still use a chlorine generator so they aren't chlorine free.
- nkozyra 8y agoWhich still results in chlorinated pools.
- ISL 8y agoSalt = NaCl.

- 24gttghh 8y agoChlorine Gas = Cl2, which is generated by electrolysis of NaCl in a saltwater pool setup.
- SCAQTony 8y agoDoes chlorine hurt your eyes: "...22 April 1915 shortly after 17:00; French troops in the path of the gas cloud sustained about 6,000 casualties. Many died within ten minutes and others were blinded. Chlorine gas reacts with water to form hypochlorous acid, destroying moist tissue such as the lungs and eyes..." Bromine, ozone, osmosis and of course chlorine are what makes pool water safe. Bromine is usually used in warmer pools, hot tubs and spas. It's weird to swim in for your lips taste salty. I seem to float better in bromine water but it is most likely my imagination. Ozone or ozonated pools are so clean you can drink from them. the 2008 Beijing Olympic pool was ozonated. Caveat, in a public pool setting with lots of bodies and such an ozonated pool will need some chlorine to augment its safety. Nature loves stagnant water, (as do mosquitoes) so filtration is very important. Osmosis is very good and as a result, you need less chlorine. The water in the Bahamas is so clear because of the sun radiating it and the circulation. I am a swimmer and I blogged about the subject for years at the SCAQblog
