Breathe better with Bromine

A recent study by the Belgian Catholic University of Louvain has found that children exposed to the by-products of chlorine in swimming pools increase the risk of asthma and wheezing by 2-3%.

It is the reaction between the swimming pool chlorine and the sweat and urine which produces harmful fumes which don't do a child's lungs much good.

Swimming has often been linked to helping asthma and other throat irritations as the warm moist hair are very good at relieving the symptoms.

There is a solution though for swimming pools. There are many non-chlorine water treatment chemicals on the market now widely marked as either swimming pool bromine or active oxygen products. Either of these methods is the ideal solution. The benefits include no strong smell of chlorine in and around the pool (or on your body and in your hair after swimming), far less irritation to people with sensitive skin and no more funny coloured hair for people with fair hair colour.

Whilst these products do cost a bit more than your normal swimming pool chlorine you will probably notice that we sell the likes of swimming pool bromine for about the same price you would buy your chlorine from a local swimming pool company.
