For safe swimming in a swimming pool the testing of the water’s chemical balance is crucial.   Too much chlorine may cause burning eyes, green hair and itchy skin. 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. For people who don’t have the time to care properly for their pool, professionals are available who will analyze the water, add the right swimming pool chemical products, clean and properly maintain it for summer or winter.

Summer Shocking

It is usually good to “shock” your pool by using 10 times the amount of chlorine to remove any germs that may have developed over the winter when the water was not cleaned as often. During the “shock” no one should swim in the pool.  Children and anyone not needed for the cleaning should keep a distance for at least two hours because the gasses on the top of the pool at this time can  make breathing difficult.

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. Many people have discontinued using chlorine partly for ecological reasons and partly because of the toxic gasses and found other means such as electronic oxidation, salt chlorination and ozone .

Chlorine Action

Chlorine becomes defunct once it has reacted with the bacteria or pathogens in the pool and renders them harmless.   This is why chlorine needs to be added regularly either by hand or through an automatic device.  For quicker cleaning and faster dissolving us Stabilised chlorine granules.

When To Add Swimming Pool Chemicals

For best results the swimming pool chemicals should be added in the evening so they have more time to operate before the sun begins evaporation.

The appearance of the water is part of sanitation along with the chemistry. An inviting pool for swimmers is clean and disinfected.
