Pool Chemical Advice
Looking after your pool need not be a
chore
Clear, clean and sparkling water is easily achieved
but there are several key points to consider:
- Maintaining Clean and Hygienic Pool
water.
It is of vital importance to keep water clean
and free from the developments of algae, bather
pollution and bacteria etc. If left untreated,
these pollutants build up in the water to cause
discomfort and risk of infection to the bathers.
With regular dosing and testing, your pool water
should be safe and fresh at all times.
- Pool-water Circulation and Filtration
Swimming-pool water cannot be regarded as satisfactory
for use, however adequately disinfected, if
the water becomes cloudy due to an excess of
organic matter or particles in suspension.
Good filtration will remove any small particles
from the pool but larger particles and debris
etc will be removed with a strainer basket
Circulation is also necessary to ensure that
all water in the pool is balanced not just the
area that you dosed. So regular circulation
is needed in the pool.
- Preserving the Lining and Structure
of your Pool
After investing money in your pool, you will
want it to have a long lasting life! There is
a possibility that you will experience some
damage due to the tap water used to fill your
pool (see section on ALKALINITY / WATER
HARDNESS) but this is easily countered by
regular water testing.
Maintaining the correct conditions in your pool
will ensure that it is safe from water corrosion.
Further Points to Consider.
External influences such as rain, sunlight and
air pollution can affect the balance of your
pool-water.
The number of bathers using the pool can alter
the balance of the water dramatically. Various
lotions, cosmetics and perspiration can make
the water cloudy or irritable to eyes and skin.
The information contained on this site should
be all that you require to successfully maintaining
a clean, safe and sparkling pool!
