Don’t Forget

* If the water is cloudy then it is not safe to swim, swimmers cannot see the bottom and might dive into shallow water!
* Bathers in difficulty under the water will not be seen!
* Foggy water is a sign that there is a problem with the treatment.

Sanitation is the priority reason for using pool chemicals. If not treated, a swimming pool can become a breeding ground for bacteria and algae. The algae will damage the pool but the bacteria can make you sick!

The answer is a sanitiser like Bromine or Chlorine. Make sure that the levelsare maintained all the time and the level should be monitored and topped up weekly or as needed. Don’t Forget, if you want to lower the levels, just add more water to your pool to dilute the chlorine. There are different choices for delivering the Chlorine to your pool. Consider using slow dissolving tablets in conjunction with a chlorinator or, alternatively, a floater. You may need to be very careful that the floater stays in your swimming pool though!

Keeping Things Healthy

Fortnightly you also need to dose your swimming pool with additional chemicals to deal with the waste by-products created by the Chlorine, i.e. the dead bacteria and algae. Most will, of course, have been removed by your filtering system but some will remain and decompose creating to unpleasant smells and skin and eye irritation. You should soon tell when this is necessary because the water will appear , you can use clarifiers and flocculents to solve this.

When testing your pool, watch the ph levels. This determines the acidity in your pool. The balance needs to be kept steady to enable the Chlorine to work effectively. After that, an effective pool filtration system will help you to keep your water clean and sanitary. Which is the key to an enjoyable swim every time!
