Without the use of chemicals, pool water quickly loses its clarity and becomes cloudy. This is how bacteria and parasites breed, and whitish plaques form on the walls. Water filtration alone is not enough to prevent the growth of microorganisms. Viruses, fungi and bacteria are killed only if water disinfection is carried out, algae growth is inhibited by algaecides, coagulants help remove water turbidity. Therefore, the use of chemical products cannot be refused. The range of types of chemical means for pool maintenance is wide, so it is possible to achieve maximum cleanliness in both indoor and outdoor pools.
The most necessary chemical products for swimming pool maintenance
Although there is a wide range of chemical pool care products, some of them are necessary to keep the pool as clean and suitable for use as possible. What is included in the set of mandatory measures to maintain pool hygiene and water purity?
Disinfectants based on chlorine and active oxygen. Disinfectant must be used continuously in the pool. Of course, most swimming pools are equipped with filters, but they cannot fully cope with bacteria and viruses. Therefore, the water itself must be bactericidal, i.e. it can destroy microorganisms brought from outside. Chemical substances containing chlorine or active oxygen help to solve this task. Disinfection of water with chlorinated preparations assumes that after complete destruction of bacteria and organic matter, the concentration of free chlorine in water will not exceed 0.3-0.5 mg/l. This value meets the drinking water standard, which means that it is not harmful to the human body. Chlorine is available in tablets (quick or slow dissolving) and liquid. "ChloriLiquid" is an excellent liquid chlorine solution for swimming pools. This preparation contains a special water hardness stabilizer that prevents the formation of limescale deposits at the injection site and at the intake opening. "Chloriklar" are quick-dissolving chlorine tablets. Do not put these tablets directly into the pool. For this, you need to use a special dispenser or, if there is none, you should dissolve the tablet in a separate container and only then pour it into the pool.
Active oxygen preparations effectively destroy pathogenic microorganisms and therefore do not smell, do not irritate the skin and mucous membranes. However, active oxygen lowers the pH of water, and its disinfecting effect is much lower than that of chlorine. Therefore, it can only be used in indoor pools. Active oxygen is available in tablet or granule form. Pool water should have a pH of 7.2-7.4. Too low a pH can cause skin irritation, and if it is high, the water can become cloudy and deposits will form on the walls of the pool. To maintain the correct pH, pH regulators (lowering and increasing pH) should be used, and with "Baylor pH Minus" you can lower the pH level. It is an excellent and high-quality tool, specially designed for swimming pools. In order to determine the pH of the pool water, you should purchase a tester from the "Bayrol" manufacturer for determining pH and active oxygen.
Pool interior chemical cleaning products. The inside of the pool is cleaned by draining the water. Means based on solutions of inorganic acids are used to clean pools. Special products are also required for cleaning stainless steel. They remove rust and other mineral contaminants, protect metal products from environmental effects, and provide shine. With the "Adisan" pool cleaner, you can easily and quickly clean the edges and film of the pool from grease and soot marks. After cleaning the pool bowl, it is necessary to cover the walls and bottom with a solution that prevents the growth of algae. "Desalgine" is an algaecide that does not contain heavy metals, so there is no negative effect on human health. "Desalgine" prevents the growth of bacteria, makes the water clear, low foaming and pH neutral. The algaecide is available for both hot tubs and swimming pools (outdoor and indoor).
The water disinfection process is carried out in two stages:
• The first stage - chlorination - this process will depend on a variety of external (ambient temperature, sunlight) and internal (intensity of pool use) factors. Chlorination is recommended with "ChloriLiquid" or "Chloriklar" (according to the instructions for use).
• The second stage - is to maintain the level of active chlorine from 0.3 to 0.5 mg/l. It is possible to do this with the preparation "Chlorilong" for long-term disinfection. With this product, your pool water will always be hygienically clean.
Preparing the pool for winter. As the cold weather approaches, you should also take care of your pool. By using certain pool care products, you can enjoy clear pool water in the spring as soon as the weather warms up. Thus, preparing for winter includes several steps: first of all, the water level should be reduced, it is possible to release the water altogether; it is necessary to remove water from the pump, filters and heater; if necessary, the entire pool can be cleaned; and finally - installation of winter pontoons and skimmers. "Puripool" is a pool care product designed to prepare outdoor pools for winter. After using this product, it is recommended to change the water as it may cause foaming. After winter, in spring, you can easily clean the pool of calcium deposits with the "Decalcit Super" gel. Calcium deposits must be cleaned regularly as they attract bacteria and algae. It is recommended to descale the pool at least once a year.
