The Benefits of Switching to Oxygen-Based Pool Sanitisers
The Benefits of Switching to Oxygen-Based Pool Sanitisers
Introduction
Pool sanitizers come in various forms but chlorine remains the most widely used choice despite its limitations in different pool environments. Oxygen-based pool sanitisers provide an alternative option for pool owners who want to reduce red eyes and dry skin while avoiding chlorine sensitivities and strong chemical odours.
Deep Blue offers complete oxygen-based sanitizing solutions that provide strong water cleaning without the strong chlorine chemicals. This blog post explains what these products represent as well as their operating principle and the reasons why thousands of UK pool owners select them.
What Are Oxygen-Based Sanitisers?
Oxygen-based sanitisers employ active oxygen as potassium monopersulfate or MPS to destroy bacteria together with viruses and organic waste by oxidisation. These sanitizers do not generate toxic byproducts or pungent smells like traditional chlorine systems.
The systems operate independently or as part of UV or ozone systems to provide complete chlorine-free pool maintenance.
Top Benefits of Oxygen-Based Sanitisers
1. Gentler on Skin and Eyes
The gentle composition of these treatments protects skin and eyes from irritation and dryness while offering suitable use for children and people with sensitive skin as well as swimmers who visit the pool frequently.
2. No Harsh Smell
The “chlorine smell” that results from chloramines becomes a thing of the past when you use oxygen-based sanitisers. The water treated with oxygen-based sanitisers remains both fresh and free of unpleasant odours.
3. Compatible with Hot Tubs and Small Pools
These sanitisers function best at high temperatures since chlorine usually breaks down quickly. Hot tubs together with spas and splash pools benefit from these sanitizers.
4. Biodegradable and Environmentally Friendly
Deep Blue offers oxygen-based granules that decompose and uses sustainable packaging materials for their containers. The product breaks down on its own and remains safe for grass and plants and aquatic life when it spills or drains into the environment.
5. Quick Re-Entry Time
Swimmers can re-enter the water 15–30 minutes following dosing which is significantly faster than chlorine shocks that need up to 24 hours of waiting.
How Oxygen-Based Sanitisers Work
Oxygen is released when the granules dissolve in water
This oxygen reacts with organic material and bacteria
The process leaves no chloramines or long-lasting residues behind.
Oxidation operates as an efficient clean system that reaches its peak effectiveness through proper filtration and water circulation.
When Should You Switch?
Oxygen-based sanitisers are ideal if:
You or your family have chlorine sensitivities
You own a hot tub or indoor pool
You want to reduce your environmental impact
You’re looking for a low-odour, low-maintenance sanitising system
The process of moving from chlorine-based products to oxygen-based products requires the following steps.
Complete drainage and cleaning of the pool and spa system
Fresh water should be added to the system followed by pH level adjustment to the range of 7.2-7.6.
Deep Blue’s Oxygen Shock Granules should be used as directed for initial treatment
Use our multi-use test strips to check pH and TA and oxygen activity levels in the pool water.
The UV or ozone system will operate normally because oxygen-based products work completely without interference.
The Maintenance Procedures for Pools Sanitised with Oxygen
Shock weekly: Apply a full dose to maintain oxidation levels
Perform pH and TA checks twice per week using Deep Blue balancers for adjustments.
Clean your filter: Every 1–2 weeks to remove oxidised waste
Preventative algaecide application is necessary because untreated warm water promotes algae growth.

FAQs
Does oxygen-based sanitizer work as effectively as chlorine does in water treatment?
Oxygen-based sanitisers achieve effective contaminant oxidation and maintain clear water when applied correctly.
The use of oxygen products is possible in saltwater pool environments.
Yes. The sanitizers function as alternatives to chlorine or as additional treatment in salt-based systems.
How often should I dose?
A typical oxygen-treated pool requires weekly shock dosing. The amount of time needed to refill hot tubs with oxygen products depends on their usage levels.
Is this a suitable option for pets?
Yes. Pets that swim under supervision will find oxygen-based systems safe and gentle.
Will I need to buy new equipment?
No. The oxygen sanitisers operate with your present pump system and filter equipment and existing pool infrastructure.
