Why the Aquapark’s Salt-Electrolysis System Makes Swimming Gentler on Your Skin

If traditional chlorinated pools leave your eyes stinging and your skin feeling tight, the Aquapark’s salt-electrolysis system changes the game. At Las Dunas Aquapark, water is disinfected continuously without adding chemical chlorine, creating a noticeably softer swim that’s kinder to your eyes, skin, hair and even your swimwear. In this guide, you’ll learn how the system works, why it feels so comfortable, and how to make the most of your pool day at our waterslides and family pools.

What is a salt‑electrolysis pool?

Salt-electrolysis pools use a small amount of dissolved salt and an electrolysis cell to generate a gentle disinfectant right in the water.

• How it works (in simple terms): An electrolysis process separates chlorine and sodium from ordinary table salt. This produces a steady, low-level disinfectant that keeps the water safe.
• No added chemical chlorine: Because the disinfectant is created from salt in the system, there’s no added chemical chlorine poured into the pool.
• Consistent, low-level disinfection: The process runs continuously, keeping the water reliably clean.
• A hint of salt—far from seawater: The water has a slight salty taste and contains less than 10% of the salt found in seawater.

Why it feels gentler on skin, eyes and swimwear

Salt-electrolysis water is widely appreciated for comfort. At Las Dunas Aquapark, guests notice the difference because:

• Softer on eyes: The mild, continuously generated disinfectant helps keep water clear without the sharp sting many associate with traditionally chlorinated pools.
• Kinder to skin: Swimmers report less dryness and irritation compared to pools treated with added chemical chlorine.
• Protects hair and fabrics: The system helps prevent damaged or discoloured hair and swimwear, so colours stay brighter for longer.
• More environmentally friendly approach: After treatment, only salt remains in the process—there are no additional chemical substances introduced to the water.

Water quality and safety: clear answers

Is a salt‑electrolysis pool as safe as traditionally chlorinated water?

Yes. The electrolysis cell continuously creates a low-level disinfectant from the dissolved salt. This maintains safe, hygienic swimming conditions throughout the day without adding chemical chlorine.

• On-duty lifeguards: Our trained lifeguards supervise the Aquapark and its slides, enforce hygiene standards, and help everyone enjoy the pools safely.

How much salt is in the water?

The pool water contains less than 10% of the salt in seawater—you’ll notice a slight taste, but it’s nowhere near as salty as the sea.

Pool depths and easy access

• Toddler pool: Maximum depth of 40 cm—ideal for little ones who are still gaining confidence.
• Main pool: From 0 cm at the entrance ramp up to 130 cm at the water-slide exits.
• Accessible entry: An amphibious wheelchair with large air tyres is available free of charge; ask a lifeguard. A companion is required to assist.

When is the Aquapark open, and who can use it?

• Open all season and free of charge for camping guests.
• Access is not permitted to visitors from outside the campsite.

The Aquapark experience: slides, spa bubbles and a river current

Las Dunas Aquapark is designed for full-day fun across 5,000 m² of pools, slides and sun terraces with loungers.

Slides and water fun for all ages

• Five waterslides: Two long slides, two medium slides and one broad family slide so you can glide side-by-side.
• Spa-style relaxation: Enjoy jets, benches and bubble loungers, plus a gentle current that creates a small, playful "river."
• Kids’ splash zone: A shallow children’s pool (40 cm) with a playful castle, fountains, two children’s slides and a big tipping bucket that splashes down at intervals.
• Sun terrace: A spacious solarium with loungers surrounds the pools, perfect for breaks between runs down the slides.

Why salt‑electrolysis is a smart choice for families

Salt-electrolysis delivers comfort without compromising cleanliness. For families, that means:

• Happy eyes and skin: Fewer complaints about sting or irritation makes longer play sessions more enjoyable.
• Less worry about hair and suits: Colours and fabrics last better when not exposed to added chemical chlorine.
• Simple routine: With continuous disinfection, there’s no need to time your swim around recent chemical doses.

Practical tips for the gentlest swim

Maximize comfort—especially if you have sensitive skin or swim with young children:

1. Rinse before and after: A quick shower helps reduce irritation and keeps the pool water cleaner for everyone.
2. Moisturize post-swim: Apply a gentle moisturizer after drying off to lock in hydration.
3. Use well-fitting goggles: Protect eyes comfortably on slides and in jets.
4. Ease in via the ramp: The zero-depth ramp is perfect for gradual entry, especially for little ones.
5. Take regular breaks: Alternate between slides, the current, and the loungers to keep skin and eyes fresh.
6. Ask for accessibility support: If needed, request the amphibious wheelchair from the lifeguards—free of charge with a companion.
