What happens to the water in your pool?
This should be a question of prime consideration for all pool owners. In the
past some pools did not use filtering systems, the owner was faced with the
problem of refilling the pool with clean water when this became necessary.
Refilling the pool was laborious; meanwhile the owner had an unsanitary
pool with unpleasant bathing owing to the poor clarity of the water. Today
pool owners demand absolute hygiene, crystal clear water and economy of
effort. These objectives are achieved by effective filtration and chemical
treatment of the pool water.
After filling the pool with clean water in the summer, two basic factors can
take place due to the exposure of water to the sun and the air.
1.-Biological contamination. The water is contaminated by micro-organisms
which may be airborne or introduced by bathers.
These parasites reproduce rapidly in still warm water and algae may
form giving a greenish appearance to the pool water.
2.-Rainfall and wind may introduce dust, with leaves and seeds which
muddy and pollute the pool water.
These two factors generate in little time an unsanitary swimming pool
and unpleasant bathing.
Solutions to the problem:
1.-“CHEMICAL” TREATMENT
Maintain the correct level of sanitizer (chlorine, brome, oxygen...) in the
water to combat existing micro-organisms by its disinfecting action.
As chlorine is the more common method, it will be taken as the
reference point.
2.-“PHYSICAL” TREATMENT
Provide the pool with a filtration system (filter and pump) to remove
suspended particles from the water.
