For pool maintenance many chemical products are used which are necessary to ensure that the water not only has the ideal appearance, but that it is in hygienic conditions so that it does not affect the skin or eyes. At Quimipool we have a wide range of pool chemicals that are necessary at every stage of the cleaning or maintenance process.
Swimming pool maintenance What chemicals should I use?
how to maintain a swimming pool? This is a very common question. All swimming pools require various chemical treatments to keep the water in optimum condition.
Pool maintenance is very simple, but it is necessary to have the essential chemical products. From Quimipool we show you what you need to keep your pool always ready and in the best conditions.
correct water pH
The correct pH value for swimming pool water should be between 7.2 and 7.6. This keeps the water in optimum condition and does not affect the eyes and skin of bathers. If the pH level is not correct, the disinfection effect does not work. In order to control the pH of the water we need the following products:
Analytical strips
These are paper strips that change colour depending on the pH, indicating the state of the water. Depending on the model, they can also help you to measure other parameters.
Chlorine-pH analyser kit
This is a more complete product that indicates the pH values of the pool water, it is recommended that this measurement is taken daily. These analyser kits are essential for every pool.
Disinfection of the pool water What products can I use?
This treatment is necessary to keep the water completely clean and fit for use by bathers without the risk of infection or possible health problems. Water should not be relied upon to be clear and appear clean, as there are many micro-organisms that need to be removed. In this process, chemicals play a key role. Here are our recommendations:
Chlorine
It is the most effective product for water disinfection. Chlorine helps to eliminate a large number of pathogens found in water.
It can be found as Trichlor which is suitable for regular disinfection of the pool, then there is Dichlor which works to restore the water after use, bad weather or not using it for a long period of time. There are also the multi-action tablets that disinfect, anti-algae and flocculant in one tablet.
Bromine for non-chlorine disinfection
Another chemical product used for disinfection is Bromine, an antioxidant that is just as efficient as chlorine. It manages to eliminate any virus, fungus or bacteria found in the pool water, unlike chlorine it does not leave a strong odour nor does it cause irritation to the eyes or mucous membranes.
Balancing the pool water
After the water has been disinfected, it should be kept balanced in this way for as long as possible, otherwise the water will lose its crystallinity and algae will start to appear. The products needed for this are as follows:
Flocculants
The action of the flocculant is to facilitate the work of the filter in the absorption of the smallest particles, as it groups them together and helps them to be quickly expelled. The weekly application of this product avoids the appearance of foam and prevents the water from becoming cloudy due to the rest of the creams or oils that lodge in the water.
Anti-algae
Although it may not seem like it, algae can appear even if a disinfection treatment has been applied to the water, so the best way to avoid it is with a phosphate remover, which is the algae's food. A weekly or constant application of anti-algae is recommended, as once they appear it is very difficult to eliminate them.
Liquid chlorine
Also known as sodium hypochlorite, liquid chlorine for swimming pools is recommended in a concentration of 10.
Pool water chlorination
This treatment consists of adding a little salt or sodium chloride to the pool water and using special equipment to separate the chlorine and sodium(salt chlorinators). To carry out the chlorination the pool chemical that is required is pool salt. This process avoids irritation of the mucous membranes or eyes and drying of the skin.
Salt pools are very fashionable lately and are becoming very popular among the population. Many swimming pools are changing their disinfection system for a salt system.
Pool Maintenance Steps to follow!
By following these simple steps, your pool will be perfect to enjoy at all times. As an extra tip, before filling it, clean the surfaces very well with special pool cleaner. Leave it on for 30 minutes and then rinse with plenty of water. After this, follow the steps we indicate:
1. Test the pH of the water
With test strips, check the pH of the water, and with a pH increaser adjust it to the correct level (7.2 to 7.6).
2. Chlorination of the water
Chlorinate with 15 g per m3 of water or if in tablets 1 or 2. Chlorination and disinfection are key to water hygiene!
3. Recheck pH and Chlorine
Readjust the pH and chlorine every time water is added to the pool.
4. Use anti-algae
Apply anti-algae to prevent algae growth.
Salt Swimming Pool Maintenance
Salt pools are much easier to maintain, environmentally friendly, affordable and do not affect the water quality at all. Many people think that salt water cannot be as hygienic as conventional water, but this is far from the truth!
Salt chlorination products
With the help of a salt chlorinator you can keep the water in your salt pool in top condition. In the section on these products we show you in more detail the steps to follow for the care of your salt pool.
