Using Sanitisers
Sanitation is the priority reason for using swimming pool chemicals. Left not treated, a swimming pool can become a breeding ground for bacteria and algae. The algae can damage the pool but the bacteria can damage you!
The solution is a sanitiser like Bromine or Chlorine. You will need to ensure that the levelsare maintained at all times and the level should be checked and topped up weekly or if needed. Don't Forget, if you need to lower the levels, just put more water to your pool to dilute the chlorine. There are different options for delivering the Chlorine to a 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!
Fortnightly you also need to dose your pool with additional products to deal with the waste materials left by the Chlorine, i.e. the sterilised bacteria and algae. Most will, of course, have been removed by your filtering system but some will remain and decompose leading to unpleasant smells and skin and eye irritation. You will soon know when this is appropriate because the water will appear , you can use clarifiers and flocculents to sort this out.
When managing your pool, watch your ph levels. This measures the acidity in your pool. The balance needs to be kept steady to enable the Chlorine to work effectively. After that, an effective pool filtering system will help you to keep your water clean and healthy. And that is the key to an enjoyable swim every time!
