They're ABSOLUTELY THE BEST, especially when utilized with Sodium Bromide. My suggestion is to go with the SWG or chlorinated tablets as the primary and add on the Ozonator as a secondary if they choose to.ĭon't be fooled about what folks may say about the Ozone generators. I'm no fan of the residential grade ozone generators because the manufacturer doesn't point out the entire truth of the system, how it functions in amount of ozone generated, and how it can only be used a a support sanitizer. This is probably bogus information from the mfg's rep. I don't know how true it is but I've heard it's like 50 times stronger and 5000 times faster than chlorine. Together they form sort of really badass sanitizing acid that blows away any other form of disinfecting. In addition you'll be utilizing another chemical (sodium bromide) to best activate the ozone. You must hit a minimum of 3 turns per day and 4 to 5 are preferred. This will cost multiple 1000 dollar bills, and the need to run your pool on a high speed.

However to use it as your only form of disinfecting a full size pool you'll need a commercial/industrial grade Corona Discharge Ozonator. Ozone is the most AWESOME sanitizer of them all. Anyone out there who can offer an opinion? Our pool installer is short on imagination. Would need to see what your sunshine quota is as a cooling off area in summer in FL is a bit of a paradox! Hope this helps.

We are considering a seating area in the catchment basin but not a spa (again budget constraints) Plus it is hot in our area cooling off is more attractive than heating up most of the time. You are not looking for heat giving capacity but drama - these fireplaces do this for much less cost and good bang for your buck. Then look at bioethanol fireplaces which are much easier to maintain and a lot less of a headache. Is 60' to far away to appreciate the effect? I imagine we would only light these occasionally. What do you think of two fire bowls located at the end of the pool next to the infinity edge? We are not wanting to have a gas line installed and are considering adding propane BBQ tanks under the columns supporting the fire bowls. Please for your sake do research further. (the same system that is used to filter drinking water in some municipalities). Purchase a book 'what colour is your swimming pool?' There are much better systems now, such as injecting pH into water etc. Does anyone have advice if a salt system pool is going to be a problem with the cover's mechanical function? Yes. We are planning on installing a built in automatic cover to avoid a pool cage or fencing. Also play with perspective: your furthest border should either look wider to match the border closest to the home OR if you want to make the pool look wider, go for a thinner border riverside. Since the pool is narrow (only 8' due to costs not space constraints) and we only planned to put 16' of border should we try to match the color of the pool water to make it appear a bit wider than it is? If you have an infinity pool why not have it spill out to all edges - bear in mind in FL your feet will get hot on dark surfaces so you will need to distinguish between the overflow and the beach area. But the darker you go, the more you reflect back the sky. Would a dark turquoise green look attractive? Try going for black or deep grey - I will try to find an invaluable article I came across that demonstrates how pool tile colour affects the water. Love your ideas and they pretty much match my aesthetic Question 1: The river is brown/green and we want a natural feel but a brown pool sounds terribly unattractive. I'm sure other people have different opinions. It cost around $500 to replace it about every 5 years, but I think the lower maintenance out weighs the cost. One has been using SWG for ten years and has had no problems with it. I opted for the SWG system because of the ease and fairly low mainteance of it. Also have to maintain the chlorinator with tablets and they have a tendacy to clog up. But with the Nature2 you have to change the cartridge every 6 months at a cost of $70 each. Ozone only kills certain bacterias and Nature 2 takes care of the rest. But after some research decided against it because the ozone only last a few seconds in a pool, which is why you need the back up of the chlorinator. With Nature2 mineral and Rainbow chlorinator. I was considering going with the Paramount ozone system That would mean less jet action at the spa. They should also take into account how far the spa will be from the pump, since a longer distance would require the pump to push the water farther. I think it's all a matter of preferance and most logical for each individual. Our pool is going to be about the same size, 14 x 32 withĪn 18" raised 7' spa in the deep end.
