The testing of the water’s chemical balance is essential for safe swimming in a swimming pool. Itchy skin burning eyes and green hair can be caused by excessive chlorine. With too little pool chemicals you can get disease causing bacteria, infections and cloudy or bad-looking water.
Test Pool Chemicals Weekly
With a simple kit the water chemistry can be tested each week. To test the water, add the proper swimming pool chemical products, clean and properly maintain it for summer or winter, professionals can be empoloyed if you don’t have time to properly care for your pool.
Summer Shocking
When spring/summer comes it is generally good to “shock” your swimming pool by using 10 times the amount of chlorine to expel any germs that may have flourished over the winter when the water was not cleaned as often. Don’t swim during the ’shock’ period Also, during this process the gasses on the top of the pool can make breathing hard so children and anyone not needed for the cleaning should stay away for at least two hours.
Safety Issues
Sun light and other chemicals in the water change the pool chemicals. When chlorine combines with sweat, dander or urine they form dangerous chemicals that can cause asthma in some people. Partly because of this and partly for ecological reasons many people have given up using chlorine and found different ways such as electronic oxidation, salt chlorination and ozone.
Chlorine Action
The bacteria or pathogens in the pool become safe when they interact with the chlorine which then becomes inactive. Chlorine needs to be added frequently either by hand or through an automatic device because of this. For quicker cleaning and faster dissolving us stabilised pool chlorine granules.
When To Add Swimming Pool Chemicals
The pool chemicals should be added in the evening so they have more time to function for the best reaction before the sun begins evaporation.
Sanitation is not only the chemistry of the water but also how it looks. A pool that is appealing for swimmers is a clean disinfected pool.
