We hear so much these days about ways to green our homes, but very little about extending that eco-awareness into the backyard. However, many are looking for ways to make a move towards environmentally responsible pool care. And, with recent reports that chlorine levels in pools are often 200 to 400 times higher than what's considered safe for the environment (source, Yahoo! Green) and findings that link regular swimming in chlorinated pools by young children to an increased risk of developing asthma (source, The Green Guide), the call to action becomes all the more pressing. It's good to know that there are alternatives out there.

Zodiac's Nature² mineral sanitizing products for the pool and spa dramatically reduce the need for heavy doses of chlorine and provide an eco-friendly choice for pool and spa maintenance.

For spa owners, Zodiac offers Nature² Spa. Its patented mineral water treatment reduces the use of chlorine and bromine for a relaxing soak, free of harsh chemicals and overpowering odors. When used with Zodiac's Cense, aromatherapy MPS (the most recommended oxidant for spas) Nature² Spa becomes the only EPA-approved chlorine-free mineral sanitizer system for spas on the market, delivering crystal clear water quality and an irritant-free spa experience.

Nature² Express is a quick, affordable and eco-friendly sanitizer that uses the mineral elements of silver and copper, with a very small amount of chlorine, to inhibit bacteria and eliminate contaminants. It installs easily on most existing pool plumbing systems, reducing the harsh effects of chlorine while vastly improving water quality and feel.
