TRANSFORM YOUR POOL OR SPA INTO A THERAPEUTIC OASIS

25 May 2022

As a pool or spa owner, you’ve probably already experienced the soothing effects water can have on your body, particularly with relieving tired, aching muscles. Spas, in particular, are often used for hydrotherapy purposes but at the end of a long hot summer’s day, stretching out your muscles with a few laps in the pool can be just as rejuvenating on your mind and body.

Now you can enhance this experience simply by adding Swimart’s fast-dissolving mineral crystals to the water, which contain high quality magnesium salt and work alongside your pool’s existing water balancing chemicals. The comprehensive range features seven specialised categories that protect your investment from the elements. They include algaecides, balancers, clarifiers, oxidisers, sunscreens, spa chemicals and trouble shooters.

Magnesium’s proven therapeutic benefits

Magnesium has been documented for decades as having the ability to alleviate a variety of inflammatory ailments relating to the skin, muscles, and nervous system. Water enriched with magnesium – a naturally occurring mineral in the human body – can help improve skin hydration, soothe conditions such as eczema and psoriasis (unlike chlorine which exacerbates them) and temporarily relieve muscle inflammation and fatigue.

In addition to a large amount of anecdotal evidence, considerable research has been undertaken by a number of medical establishments on the benefits of bathing in magnesium-enriched water. The Department of Dermatology at Germany’s University of Kiel credits the Dead Sea’s high content of magnesium salt with soothing and strengthening skin by improving its barrier function and enhancing hydration, which in turn reduces roughness and inflammation[1].

These therapeutic benefits are widely known and each year hundreds of thousands of people from around the world travel to the Dead Sea to bathe in its magnesium-rich water. However, with Swimart’s mineral crystals in your pool or spa, you don’t have to travel thousands of kilometres to experience similar therapeutic benefits!

Add Aqua-Health for a sparkling pool

The mineral composition in the crystals has mild ‘flocking’ abilities, which helps filter out fine particles of dirt and dust – regardless of whether you have a freshwater or saltwater pool. This in turn reduces the need for additional chemicals such as clarifiers and algaecides, saving you time and money next time you visit your local pool shop.

Healthy pool water is not only good to look at but also feels beautiful to swim in. Alternatively, talk to your local Swimart pool and spa professional for more information or call us on 1300 991 104.
