New Freshwater Pool

The ultimate swimming experience for your new backyard pool

Thinking of a new freshwater pool?

Here’s the answers to the six most common question people ask us about freshwater pools. Just scroll down and follow the pointers.

Journey Step 0

What is a freshwater pool?

Freshwater is the innovative approach to pool sanitization.

Naked Pools, the industry leaders in this field, define freshwater as water identical in taste, feel, and softness to the water from your household tap or that of a freshwater stream.

By incorporating natural minerals like copper and silver, the need for chemicals in traditional pools, including chlorine, is significantly reduced.

Freshwater facts

Facts are, there is no real completely freshwater for swimming pools. All water needs some form of balancing. Water in nature finds its own way of balancing through plant life and the earth’s natural minerals.

The fact is that less than 5% of the world’s water is completely fresh water. In a swimming pool, water needs some chemical to assist it to balance and effectively keep water safe for swimming. The way to be closest to fresh is minimising those chemicals and other substances in the water, such as salt or other chemicals. This is classified as TDS (Total Dissolved Solids). The Naked Freshwater System operates on the lowest TDS of any pool sanitiser on the market.

We rule out up to 50% of chemical required in the pool and, importantly, reduce salt requirements by over 80%. The end result is a much more crystal clear, healthier swimming pool that’s not only better for you and the family, but it’s also better for your pool equipment, pool surrounds, and the environment.

Journey Step 1

Why is freshwater the best choice?

Freshwater pools offer an exceptional swimming experience with low chemical content, making them ideal for individuals with allergies, asthma, eczema, or psoriasis.

The reduced salt and mineral levels in the water result in less corrosion, protecting the pool equipment and surrounding areas. Moreover, these pools are environmentally friendly, reducing water wastage. In the long run, freshwater pools require less maintenance, leading to cost savings.

Facts about swimming pool chemicals

Most swimming pools have traditionally used hazardous chemicals such as high amounts of chlorine and cyanuric acid to minimise algae growth and bacteria. Even saltwater pools rely on chlorine, and we are all too familiar with the smell and feel from these pools – it irritates skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, can induce asthma attacks and causes harmful reactions in allergy sufferers. These chemicals are hazardous, they’re costly, and they are a hassle.

The technology used in the Naked System is similar to that used by NASA to sanitize drinking water in space and prevent algae growth by utilising copper and silver. What you’re left with is healthy, rejuvenating, crystal-clear water that contains less chlorine and chemicals than the water from your household tap. While the initial investment in a Freshwater System may be more expensive than a typical salt chlorinator, it will save you hundreds of dollars a year on upkeep due to lower chemical and power consumption.

Not to mention, a freshwater pool extends the life of your pool surrounds and equipment as well as being better for the environment. You will save water as you can repurpose it direct to your garden or grey water tanks, and there is no need to shower or wash your swimwear after taking a dip.

Journey Step 2

How is it different salt water?

Salt systems create and rely on retaining chlorine in the pool and often the water can have an unpleasant taste.

The Naked Freshwater System also produces traces of chlorine but without the need for it to stay in the water due to copper and silver residuals. The end result is the water has less chlorine than tap water.

About salt pools

After many years of swimming in liquid chlorine pools, assuming it was the only option for effectively sanitising swimming pools, owners started to ask, is there an easier and less harmful way?

Saltwater pools became popular as they reduced the need for high levels of straight liquid chlorine or tablets. Unfortunately, they still produce chlorine levels that are high and which remain as the main sanitiser in the pool that can cause skin and eye irritation and damage pool equipment, surrounding outdoor furniture, and plants.

We decided it was time to come up with a sanitisation system that produces clean, soft and pleasant swimming pool water that’s equivalent if not better to tap water! Our pool system is designed to be a true competitor to salt and chlorine pool systems.

Journey Step 3

How does it work?

We use proven methods for managing pool water that have been around for hundreds of years, and designed it specifically for swimming pools and swim spas.

The primary cleaner in the water is a tiny residual of copper and silver – Mother Nature’s natural assistant to help manage algae and bacteria.

Then combined with an automatic Oxidizer that ensures your pool will always have crystal clear water.

Minimal chemicals and maintenance

Our innovative system safely and effortlessly manages your pool water without the need for adding chlorine or large amounts of salt.

The Naked Hybrid Systems are made up of a digital control unit which supplies and manages current to an electrode assembly (OXI & ION Cell). Electrolysis passes through the copper and silver anodes, releasing the ions into the water to maintain and provide the ultimate swimming experience in your pool.

Your pool will be crystal clear all year round with minimal chemicals and minimal maintenance, providing you with the ultimate swimming experience in your backyard pool.

Journey Step 4

How does the cost compare?

Naked Systems are comparable after considering the ongoing costs of chlorine, salt and chemicals required for other pools.

On the average sized pool (14,000 gallons) we expect savings anywhere from $600 – $900 per annum. (All pools vary in use, location, environment, temperature, etc).

This biggest return on your investment comes from the freshwater giving much better longevity to pool equipment, surrounds and landscaping.

Works with all pool types

Designed to work on any kind of domestic swimming pool and surface type for water volume between 500 – 40,000 gallons. This includes plunge pools and swim spas.

Talk with your pool builder and advise the type of water you want for your pool. The builder then installs the system just like any other product but with a lot less chemical and salt put in your pool when it’s being filled.

If you’ve chosen a builder who is not familiar with our Freshwater System, we are more than happy to speak with them on your behalf. Generally, it just means they don’t understand the technology and fear it’s too different to what they’ve been doing for years. However, every time a builder installs their first system, they cannot believe how simple it is it install and use, and then comes the amazing water clarity!
