Pool Water at its Best - Meet Eddie Lloyd from Theralux.

When building your very own pool, there are lots of decisions to make. There’s the size and shape of the pool, there’s the tile selections, and there’s how many steps you want included to perch on and enjoy a refreshing beverage on a Saturday afternoon. But there’s one feature many people don’t consider at all – and that’s the feel, the look, and the taste of the water.

You might not have thought at all about the water you’d like to be swimming in. But let me tell you, you should. It’s everything. It’s the experience when you first dive in, it’s the effect on the kids’ skin when they spend hour after hour, day after day in the pool in summer. The water you decide to go with in your pool is make or break, and at Cronulla Pools we only use Theralux.

Since Cronulla Pools was born, we’ve worked closely with Theralux because we are all about perfect water and protecting your family. Theralux produces a beautiful, silky water that is just as stunning to look at as it is good for the body. Looking after the people who’ll be swimming in our pools is our priority, and Theralux shares this value. It’s also the most stunning body of water in the market.

“You have to actually experience it to know what it’s like,” says Eddie Lloyd from Theralux. “From a touch, feel and taste perspective, the feedback we get is people saying they never knew water could feel like this.”

Ever since Eddie’s dad entered the pool market 40 years ago, Australians have known and trusted Theralux, the healthiest, most affordable and environmentally friendly way to create a mineral bathing destination in your own backyard.

“This product has been built into the bloodlines of the family really early on,” Eddie says. "It started out as me and my dad, my brother, my whole family, at the kitchen table at home. We would be packing different pool products and I’d get paid a cent for every pack I put together.”

Eddie credits “water experience led innovation” as the key factor in the creation of Theralux. Utilising the cleansing elements found in mineral baths and oceans around the world, this product eliminates germs and bacteria from the water and delivers massive health and wellbeing benefits.

“Magnesium is used in every Theralux pool,” Eddie says. “It’s a really important mineral, providing essential B and D vitamins. A lack of magnesium leads to poor sleep, muscle pain, cortisol increases and migraines. We’ve spent decades developing a product that not only looks beautiful, but genuinely makes our customers feel good, too.” 

This process of innovation is something Eddie remembers always being in action in the Lloyd family, even as a kid.

“We were lucky enough to have a swimming pool and it was kind of the firsthand data research lab, if you like,” he laughs. “We’d be in the pool and say, ‘No, dad, that’s a little bit itchy. Try again.’ He’d go back to the drawing board. It was more a home laboratory at times, than a pool.”

We’re obsessed with Theralux because of what it does for the body of water in your pool.  It is soft and moisturising, doesn’t smell, and is great for muscle aches. There’s no harsh chemicals thanks to the Quantum Purity Product which naturally sanitises the water – and say goodbye to green hair and stinging eyes! – and is the safest product there is in terms of protecting sensitive skin. It’s affordable, lasts all year round and the actual filtration equipment is super sleek in appearance. Also, with their state-of-the-art Theralux Pool + Manager system app, Theralux are way out in front in terms of pool automation, making your pool a total dream to maintain.

“The app connects your pool to your phone so it enhances the ease of management,” Eddie says. “You can turn things on or off, put your pool cleaner on, change your temperature, and actually control the balance of the water chemistry as well. It’s about ease of maintenance and improving lifestyle.”

At Cronulla Pools, the only pools we build are mineral pools, and the lucky winner of our Wanna Win a Pool competition is going to get to experience all the benefits a mineral pool has to offer. We are so grateful that Eddie and the team at Theralux have agreed to generously donate to the competition.

“If I look from a personal story, if you like,” Eddie says, “cancer is pretty close to me. My brother recently passed of it. So from that family perspective there is definitely a personal want to support initiatives like this in the community.”
