Swimming Pool Maintenance

The air, bathers, and the environment are all continously introducing dirt into the swimming pool water. This dirt causes cloudiness and becommes the food for bacteria and algae. Because of this, it is necessary to remove it with the aid of filtration equipment. The filter removes the dirt particles in the water, keeping it transparent and clean. It is important that the filter and that the entire volume of swimming pool water is filtered at least once a day.

Disinfection of the Water

Even though the water is clean and transparent, it might still contain bacteria and viruses which transmit diseases and infecti ons. For this reason, it must be disinfected to eliminate all the micro-organisms present. When chlorine is added to the swimming pool, some is used to destroy the contaminants in the water. The remainder stays in the water as residual chlorine, ready to act against any new contaminants that are introduced by the wind, bathers, etc. This residual disinfectant is called Free Residual Chlorine must be maintained between 0.5 and 2 ppm. Chlorine consumption varies with temperature, sunshine, the number of bathers, and the degree of pollution. It is therefore necessary to analyse the chlorine level daly using a chlorine and pH test kit.
