Healthy Swimming Pool treatment at the Mina Seyahi Complex Dubai

The Mina Seyahi Complex is just as famous for its relaxed ambience, superb beachfront and fantastic swimming pools, as it is for its water sports acclaim. The Mina has gone to extra lengths to ensure that guests and visitors can enjoy swimming at the complex in safer, more enjoyable waters! The Engineering team at the Mina uses chlorination techniques that utilize natural salt instead of manufactured chlorine, to make the water more enjoyable, safer and pleasant. Read on...

POOL CHLORINATION WITH SALT - How it Works:
The system empoyed makes its own chlorine for swimming pools by converting mild saline pool water (about 1/6th the concentration of seawater) into chlorine. The saline water is electrolyzed as it passes through a system cell and produces sodium hypochlorite (liquid chlorine) for the swimming pool. Sodium hypochlorite is chlorine in a usable form which purifies and sterilizes the water. Clear benefits include:

  • On site automatic chlorination for swimming pools everyday of the year
  • No need to purchase, handle or store dangerous Chemicals, No more granular chlorine
  • Reduces pool running costs & maintenance in the long run
  • Clear, blue sparkling pools
  • Healthier pools
  • No chlorine smell on your body
  • No fading bathing suits
  • No dry skin and hair
  • No red irritated eyes
  • Safer and more pleasant to swim in
