Naked Freshwater Pools
A Pool With a Fraction of the Chlorine
The Naked Freshwater System keeps your pool clean with copper, silver, and far less chlorine. Soft water, gentler on your eyes, and clear enough to read a quarter on the bottom.

A Third Option for Your Pool Water
Chlorine, Saltwater, or Freshwater
For decades, pool owners have had two choices: a chlorine pool or a saltwater pool. Both work, and both keep chlorine in the water. The Naked Freshwater System, designed in Australia, offers a third option. It keeps your pool clean with copper and silver minerals and only a trace of chlorine, so your water feels fresh and soft instead of harsh.

The Difference You Feel
What It Feels Like to Swim in a Naked Pool
You know the feeling after a swim in a typical pool: burning eyes, tight skin, and a chlorine smell that follows you around. A Naked pool changes that.
Open them underwater with far less sting.
With very little salt and only a trace of chlorine, the water feels fresh, not harsh.
Much less lingering on your skin, your hair, or your towels.
On a calm day, you can drop a quarter in the deep end and read the date. That's Mike's favorite test.
Side by Side
Saltwater or Naked Freshwater?
We build both, and both are great pools. Here's how they compare.
A Naked freshwater pool is for people who want the softest, cleanest feeling water they can get, and more of our customers are choosing it.
Your Installer Matters
Why Choose Pools by Jiffy for Your Naked Freshwater Pool
We install the Naked Freshwater System on our Latham fiberglass pools, and we took the time to learn it right.
- Trained on the System
Mike and Julie were among about 30 Latham dealers invited to a seminar on the Naked system at Latham's plant in Zephyrhills, where they met the Naked team from Australia.
- Checked in the Field
A Naked representative from Australia has visited our Naked installs here to review them.
- Pool School With Every Pool
After your pool is finished, our pool pro handles startup, provides a month of cleaning service, and teaches you how to run your equipment, including your copper checks.
- Family Roots in Palm Coast Since 1979
You deal with the owner, start to finish.
Gentler Than Your Kitchen Faucet
Less Chlorine Than Typical Tap Water
The water from your kitchen faucet starts out in rivers, lakes, or underground aquifers. Before it reaches your home, your city treats it to kill germs, and chlorine is one of the most common ways it does that. The amount is small enough that you usually can't taste or smell it.
A Naked pool works on the same idea. It keeps just enough chlorine in the water to do its job, and no more. Naked's user manual calls for 0 to 0.5 parts per million of free chlorine. City water in Florida is commonly treated at higher levels, and the EPA allows up to 4 parts per million in drinking water. The result is crystal clear water that feels like a fresh swim, not a chemical bath.
Inside the System
How the Naked Freshwater System Works
The Naked system installs with the rest of your pool equipment and does two jobs as water flows through it.
Copper and Silver Keep the Water Clean
A small electrical current releases tiny amounts of copper and silver into the water. Copper keeps algae from growing, and silver helps purify the water. The minerals stay in the pool and keep working around the clock.
Titanium Plates Oxidize the Water
As water passes over the plates, the system makes a trace of chlorine that clears out organic matter. Because the minerals do most of the work, a Naked pool doesn't need to hold chlorine in the water the way other pools do.
That's where the freshwater feel comes from. You still run your filter and brush your pool like any other pool. The difference is what's in the water.
What Goes on the Equipment Pad
The Equipment
The one part Naked addsNaked CellAdds copper and silverThe Naked system works with the equipment every pool already has: a pump, a filter, and a heater if you have one. The Naked cell sits in line after them, and its control unit runs it. The pH controller is an optional add-on that plugs into the control unit and adds small doses of diluted acid to keep pH in range.
Maintaining a Naked pool
Straight Answers
What to Know Before You Choose
A Naked pool is easy to live with, but it's still a pool. Here's what to expect.
It's an Upgrade
The Naked system costs more than our standard saltwater setup. Ask us for a quote on your pool.
It Still Uses a Little Chlorine
Far less than other pools, and that small amount helps keep the water safe to swim in.
Copper Gets a Quick Check
A simple copper test on a regular schedule, and a little more often after heavy rain or a busy pool weekend, keeps the water and your pool surface looking their best.
pH Still Matters
Keeping pH in range helps the system work its best. Naked's optional pH controller adds small amounts of acid automatically, so you don't have to.
The Mineral Cell Wears Over Time
Like a filter, it's a part that gets replaced with use.
Normal Pool Care Still Applies
Run the filter, brush the pool, and keep the water level right.
We walk every new owner through all of this at handoff, so nothing comes as a surprise.
Questions We Hear
Naked Freshwater Pool FAQ
Is a Naked freshwater pool chlorine free?
No. It makes a trace of chlorine. Naked calls for 0 to 0.5 parts per million, far less than a saltwater or chlorine pool.
Is it a natural swim pond?
No. It's a regular pool with regular filtration. The difference is how the water is kept clean.
Can the Naked system go on an existing pool?
Naked says the system can be added to existing pools. Ask us about your pool and we'll tell you what makes sense.
Is it hard to take care of?
No. The system does most of the work, and we teach you the rest at pool school.
Do I have to choose freshwater?
Not at all. Saltwater is standard, and it's an excellent pool. A Naked freshwater pool is an upgrade for people who want the gentlest water possible.
