Imagine swimming in water that feels silkier, gentler on your skin and eyes, and free from the harsh chemical smell of traditional chlorine pools. Salt water pools offer a more natural, luxurious swimming experience while significantly reducing maintenance demands. At Precision Landscaping, we specialize in designing and installing premium salt water pool systems that transform your backyard into a healthy, eco-friendly oasis you'll enjoy for years to come.
Salt water pools use advanced technology to create chlorine naturally from salt, providing continuous sanitation without the need for harsh chemical additives. This innovative approach means no more red eyes, itchy skin, or strong chlorine odors—just crystal clear, silky-smooth water that feels better on your skin and is gentler on your swimwear and pool equipment.
Salt water pools utilize a salt chlorine generator that converts dissolved salt into pure, natural chlorine through a process called electrolysis. Unlike traditional pools that require frequent manual addition of chlorine tablets or liquids, salt systems maintain consistent, optimal chlorine levels automatically.
The result is water that's continuously sanitized at safe, stable levels—typically with salt concentrations similar to human tears—creating a swimming experience that's both luxurious and low-maintenance.
With over a decade of experience creating luxury outdoor spaces across Toronto and the GTA, Precision Landscaping brings expert knowledge to salt water pool installation. We ensure proper system integration for your chosen pool type—whether Fiberglass, Steel-Vinyl, Concrete, or Container Pools.
Our team handles every detail—from design and permits to equipment selection and installation—ensuring your salt system performs flawlessly and complements your full Landscape Design.
Enjoy water that's softer on skin, hair, and eyes—perfect for families with children, sensitive skin, or those who swim frequently.
Automated chlorine generation means fewer chemical adjustments and less time spent on pool care.
While the initial setup may cost more, salt systems dramatically reduce ongoing chemical expenses.
Less chemical use and packaging waste make these systems an eco-friendly choice.
Maintains stable chlorine levels automatically, avoiding the spikes and drops common in traditional pools.
The dissolved salt gives the water a smooth, luxurious texture.
