Naked vs Saltwater Pools: Setting the Record Straight At Naked Pools, we often hear from homeowners who are interested in a healthier alternative to traditional salt or chlorine pools—but who also receive conflicting advice from builders or pool professionals. A recent enquiry from a Perth-based customer summed it up perfectly. Discover how our chemical-free system compares to saltwater pools, handles high temperatures, lowest levels of chlorine —plus real feedback from Aussie pool owners.

Salt Water Pool Maintenance Salt water pool maintenance can be costly and time-consuming and often requiring many trips to the local pool shop. And in the end, a salt water pool is still just a chlorine pool that requires the same harmful chemicals that can irritate sensitive skin and breathing to asthma sufferers. So what’s the better alternative?
winterising pool
Why Winterising Your Pool Isn’t Necessary With a Copper-Based Pool System Copper is a natural and highly effective algaecide. That’s why it's a constant residual in your pool rather than part of a winterising kit. At Naked Pools, copper isn’t a seasonal afterthought – it’s the backbone of our mineral-based system which also assists in lowering chemical usage and reduces chlorine to record low levels compared to other swimming pool water.
asthma swimming
Melbourne - The Asthma Capital of the World If you or your children swim regularly in traditional chlorinated pools, you may already have noticed red eyes, coughing fits, or a tight chest after a swim. These are not just minor inconveniences, they can be real health risks for asthma sufferers which is why the water in your pool can be more critical than you think.
minerals or freshwater
Mineral Pools vs Freshwater Pools When it comes to pool sanitisation systems, pool owners now have a lot of options, with a wide range of technologies and competing performance claims to choose from. Let’s separate the truth from the myths and see how Australia’s most popular freshwater pool system, the Naked NKD-R stacks up against the mineral pool option.
Comparing the NKD-R & NKD-M Freshwater Systems The Naked Pools NKD-R and NKD-M MINI Freshwater Systems are innovative pool sanitisation solutions designed to provide a healthier, chemical-reduced swimming experience. While both systems share core features and benefits, they are tailored for different pool sizes and needs. Below is a detailed comparison of their differences and benefits.
fish and swimming pools
Can you keep fish in a Naked Freshwater Swimming Pool? Could you keep fish in your Naked swimming pool? While it’s an interesting idea, there are several important factors to consider before turning your pool into a backyard aquarium. While the Naked Pools System offers a safe and enjoyable swimming experience, it’s designed for us humans (and often some of our pets), but typically not fish.

Frequently asked questions

What are pool systems, and how do they work?

A pool system is basically everything that keeps your pool water clean and swimmable. It’s not just one product but rather a whole setup. From the chlorine generator to the pump, filter, and everything else that makes sure harmful elements like bacteria aren’t thriving in your pool. For example, Naked Pools uses a mineral-based process that skips the heavy chemical load altogether. It still sanitises for all pool types and conditions, but more naturally.

What types of pool systems are available?

The main types of pool systems available include:

  • Chlorine-based systems. Traditional pools where chlorine is manually added to disinfect water. Tried and true, but they come with that chemical smell and skin irritation.
  • Saltwater pool systems. Use a salt chlorinator to generate chlorine automatically. The difference with traditional pools is that saltwater pool systems produce chorine in an automated manner so they are slightly easier to maintain.
  • Mineral pool systems. Similar to saltwater but uses minerals like magnesium in place of pool salt. Mineral pool systems are a bit gentler. They still produce chlorine but with softer-feeling water and added minerals. The minerals are expensive but they also hide the smell of the chlorine in the pool water.
  • Freshwater or low-chemical systems. The standout for people wanting a more natural, eco-friendly pool system is freshwater. These modern pool systems (e.g., the Naked Freshwater System) use mineral ionisation like copper and silver. The best thing about them is that they require minimal chlorine to maintain crystal-clear water that provides the ultimate swimming experience.
How do I choose the right pool system for my needs?

It really depends on what you care about. If you’re looking for something that’s low maintenance, easy on skin, and good for kids or pets, freshwater is the best pool system for home. A traditional chlorine or saltwater system might also suffice. These have a lower inital cost but they do require more maintenance and ongoing chemicals. Also, the size of your pool should match the system you choose. Naked Pools’ NKD-R and NKD-M Freshwater Systems are tailored to different pool volumes. Researching these options and consulting your pool builder will help ensure you choose the ideal solution for your needs.

Do pool systems require regular maintenance?

Newer systems like freshwater certainly require less time and maintenance these days. Chlorine pools need a fair bit of attention—testing, balancing, shocking. Saltwater isn’t as bad, but you still have to maintain the chlorinator and chemical balance in the water. With a freshwater system like Naked’s, the weekly grind pretty much disappears. There’s still some light upkeep, maintianing pH, but with 90% less salt and 50% less chemicals you’ll spend more time enjoying your pool rather than maintaining it.
