Here’s what’s happening at BioNova® Natural Pools North America…
How Natural Pools Improve Skin and Respiratory Health:
As awareness grows about the impact of chemicals on health and the environment, natural swimming pools are gaining popularity as a cleaner, eco-friendly alternative to traditional chlorinated pools. As we know, these pools rely on biological filtration and/or aquatic plants that allows beneficial microorganisms and plants to break down contaminants, keeping the water clean without the use of chlorine or bromine. Beyond sustainability, natural pools offer a range of health benefits, especially for skin and respiratory systems.
Skin Health Benefits
1. No Harsh Chemicals
Traditional pools use chlorine, which can strip natural oils from the skin, leading to dryness, irritation, and conditions like eczema. In contrast, natural pools are gentle and non-irritating, making them ideal for sensitive skin.
2. Natural pH Balance
The water in natural pools is naturally balanced close to a neutral pH, which aligns better with the skin’s own pH, helping to preserve the skin barrier and prevent inflammation or allergic reactions.
3. Mineral Enrichment
Depending on the source of the water and the filtration materials used, natural pools can contain trace minerals like magnesium or silica, which may promote skin healing and hydration.
Respiratory Health Advantages
1. No Chlorine Fumes
In traditional pools, especially indoor ones, chlorine can volatilize into the air as chloramines, which is the smell that people associate with chlorine. Chloramines are irritating compounds that may trigger asthma, coughing, and lung irritation. Natural pools eliminate this risk, offering cleaner air around the swimming area.
2. Better for Children and Sensitive Individuals
Children, the elderly, and people with asthma or allergies are particularly susceptible to respiratory irritation from pool chemicals. Natural pools provide a safer environment with no synthetic fumes.
Additional Health and Wellness Perks
1. Stress Reduction
Being surrounded by natural elements like plants and moving water enhances relaxation and reduces cortisol levels.
2. Microbiome Support
Exposure to beneficial microbes in the natural pool ecosystem may support a healthy skin microbiome, potentially boosting immune defenses.
3. No Eye or Hair Damage
Swimmers don’t experience the common red eyes, dry hair or green hair, or faded swimwear that result from chlorine exposure.
Conclusion
Natural swimming pools represent a harmonious blend of health, beauty, and sustainability. By eliminating harsh chemicals and mimicking natural water ecosystems, they offer tangible benefits for the skin and respiratory system while also reducing environmental impact. Whether for a private residence or a public facility, embracing chemical-free swimming is a smart move toward holistic wellness.
Stay Safe and Healthy.
We hope you all continue to stay healthy during these trying times and wish all of our BioNova® Dealers our best to you and your families.
