Why Saltwater Swimming Pools Are Perfect for Maryland Homeowners

Now’s the time of year that Maryland homeowners are beginning to think about what the warmer weather will bring. Perhaps this is the year that you finally feel ready to get a swimming pool installed in your yard. If this is you, you’ve probably seen a lot of buzz around the web about chlorinated and saltwater swimming pools. Today, we’d like to explain why saltwater is such an appealing option for your new pool!

Why Saltwater Swimming Pools Are Perfect for Maryland Homeowners

Are you curious about the benefits of saltwater swimming pools? Take a look.

No Smell

If you’ve ever spent any time in a typical chlorinated swimming pool, you’re probably all too familiar with the smell it can leave on your body and your hair. Most people would probably agree that this smell is unpleasant, and—in the case of indoor pools—it can be completely overwhelming. With saltwater swimming pools, you can say goodbye to the harsh and unpleasant smell of chlorine.

Better for Your Skin

Chlorine is a harsh chemical. In its pure, undiluted form, it can burn your skin and eyes. It is also a known respiratory irritant. Of course, these effects diminish drastically when properly diluted in your swimming pool. Still, contact with chlorine is not known to have any therapeutic benefits for your skin.

In this way, chlorine stands in stark contrast to saltwater. Salt is a far more naturally occurring substance than chlorine, and it’s much better for your skin. It will soften the water, and prevent your skin from feeling dried out after a dip in your pool. Saltwater swimming pools won’t cause the coloring to fade on your swimsuit so fast, either.

Less Maintenance

If you are one of the many Maryland homeowners who has had to maintain a chlorinated swimming pool in the past, you know just how much of a nuisance it can be. Not only do you constantly have to manage chlorine levels to keep the water’s chemistry in check, but handling chlorine in its manufactured form can be demonstrably unsafe.

Saltwater swimming pools require far less maintenance than the chlorinated alternative. Once you’ve invested in one for your Maryland home, you’ll be glad you did.

The Other Side of the Coin

As appealing as saltwater swimming pools are, it’s important to acknowledge the flipside of the coin. They aren’t for everyone. For one thing, you’ll have to pay more upfront to have one installed. Additionally, if you do have issues with your saltwater pool, not just any pool maintenance company will do. You’ll need help from someone specializing in saltwater pools.

Saltwater swimming pools may be more expensive. But here at Honeysuckle Nursery & Design, we believe they’re worth every penny.
