If the climate is sunny, do apply sun screen cream to protect yourself from radiations.

Chemicals in the water

Chemicals are typically added to water at treatment plants. These include chlorine and fluorine. It is known that these chemicals kill many or most of the bacteria and viruses that may be found in ground water. But many question what effect chlorine and fluorine might have on human health. The thought is that chlorine may react with substances in the water that might have a negative effect on the human system. Here again water filtration might be in order.

Salt water pools

Salt water pool systems use a generator to produce chlorine (hydrochloric acid) from salt through an electric current process called electrolysis. Salt water pool systems save you from having to purchase chlorine every so often and take a chance on exposing your body to the harsh concentrated chlorine. You have to purchase salt instead. Other than that, salt water pool systems still result in using chlorine as a disinfectant to kill bacteria, algae, and viruses in your pool water.
