*Our heated saline pools - environmental and safety information

All Kasteliades swimming pools are saline treated pools, as opposed to treated with hard chemical chlorine. This is generally considered to be gentler on the environment as well as on your skin, eyes and hair ! The salinity of the pool water is ten times less than that of seawater and you hardly notice it.

The swimming pool uses a heat pump, the most environment friendly method for heating an outdoor pool. The pump extracts heat from the air to warm the pool water circulating through it. If the air temperature falls below 15°C, we cannot guarantee that the pool will be warm enough.

All Kasteliades swimming pools have a cover to protect the pool and ensure the safety of children when closed. The covers are either flat or raised structural elements.
