Chemical Use in the Pool
Swimming pool chemicals and their uses Pool chemicals are very important in keeping pools clean, healthy and hygienic. These chemical products are used to balance, disinfect and maintain pool water. Here is a summary of the uses and benefits of pool chemicals: Chlorine: Chlorine products are the most widely used chemical disinfection products in swimming pools. Chlorine kills germs, bacteria and algae in the pool, keeping the water clean and healthy. pH regulators: The pH value of the pool determines the acidity or alkalinity of the water. pH regulators keep the pH level of the water in the ideal range and provide water balance. It prevents eye and skin irritation and increases the effectiveness of disinfection. Alkalinity enhancers: Alkalinity is important in maintaining the pH balance of the water. Alkalinity agents regulate the alkalinity of water and help keep the pH constant. Hardness Tests: Hardness determines the amount of calcium and magnesium dissolved in water. Hardness regulators regulate the water hardness level, prevent the formation of limescale that damages the water and prolong the life of the device. Algae inhibitors: Algae inhibitors are used to prevent the growth of algae in pool water. Algae inhibitors keep the water clean and prevent algae growth. Clarifier: The clarifier removes turbidity and particles from the water, giving it a clearer appearance. This chemical binds the fine particles together and facilitates their removal by filtration.
