CHLORINE PRODUCT ABSORPTION IN SWIMMERS IS GREATEST VIA THE SKIN
Lindstrom, A.B., Pleil, J.D., & Berkoff, D.C. (1997).
Implication. In this study the greater importance of transdermal (via the skin) uptake of chlorinated hydrocarbons compared to the respiratory route is demonstrated. This indicates that improved ventilation alone will not have a major impact on exposure to these materials because it is being immersed in the liquid that is the greatest threat. In contrast, ozonation allows markedly reduced levels of chlorine in the pool water.

T. Moore, AustraliaAfter battling eczema and asthma problems due to chlorine, we have now discovered that swimming in pristine water is possible without chlorine! My husband and daughter were so bothered by chlorine that swimming in chlorinated water was no longer an option for them. I am so thankful we found the HealthCare Natural System for our new pool and it is GREAT. The water stays gorgeous and no chlorine.....I thank God that we found out about this system.
J. PriceI've had the HealthCare Pool system now for over a year and I'm very happy with the result. I'm no longer concerned about the health hazards related to chlorine in our swimming pool. Campbell Environmental Systems has been very helpful from the beginning and their service is top notch.
M. KaplanI just want to let you know all the pool readings today are perfect and the water is just crystal clear. I vacuumed the pool this morning and could easily see to the bottom of the deep end. Thank you for your daily guidance of walking me through this new system over the past few weeks. In trying to clear the cloudy water, I never did tell you how much we all love your healthcare system and the quality of the water we are swimming in. It is great!!! ...
Thank you for the wonderful system and your super customer service. I really appreciate your daily step by step instructions and always with a great attitude. I would definitely highly recommend your product and service to any potential customers. You and your family have a blessed day/week!!
J.Ripley, MaineI'm just writing to tell you how pleased we are with our Healthcare Pool System. At first we thought, this sounds too good to be true... but after using it I can say- it sure is possible. It's really exciting when modern technology can provide us health conscious consumers such great products! The water in our pool and water feature stays crystal-clear with very little shocking. And not only that the water is clear, it has a softness to it that is very different from chlorinated water, much like swimming in a lake minus all the algae and organic materials! We have also been pleasantly surprised at how little effort it takes to keep it this way, so we can just enjoy the pool. In fact, two weeks ago our pool pump needed to be replaced. We were without a filtering system for over a week and still our pool remained clear-much to the amazement of our pool guy!
