The swimming pool is the delightful place of your home where you can spend some quality time with your family. Make sure that the water of your swimming pool should be regularly monitored and sanitized to maintain its freshness and quality. The pool owners often use different chemicals to make their water clean and hygienic, but if the chemical level is not balanced then it may spoil your water and leads to many skin diseases. You can go through the following slides to know about the different chemical factors of swimming pool and its basic uses.

1. Chemical Factors that
Boost the Fitness of a
Pool

2. The swimming pool is a delightful place to
spend time, where people of all ages can
enjoy time together and achieve fitness goals
without sacrificing their social life.

3. In order to have a healthy outing in your
pool, the quality of water, should be
regularly monitored and sanitized.

There are several chemical factors to
determine the grade of pool water :
pH balance
total alkalinity
chlorine
shock
metals
calcium hardness

5. pH Balance1

6. pH is a basic measure of acidic and
basic nature of the pool water.

7. Low pH makes the water corrosive,
cause skin problems and high value
results in cloudy water which
effects chlorine.

8. It should be neither more acidic
nor alkaline and should be kept in
the range of 7.2-7.6 measure on a
scale of 0-14 where the value 7 is
termed neutral.

9. 2 Total Alkalinity

10. To maintain proper pH balance, the
required amount of acid buffers or
total alkalinity must be maintained
in the pool.

11. The proposed total alkalinity of a
pool is 120-150 ppm.

12. 3 Calcium Hardness

13. Calcium hardness is the amount
of dissolved calcium in the pool
water.

14. The proper range of calcium
hardness in pool water is 200-250
ppm for concrete pools and 175-225
ppm for vinyl pools.

15. Low level of hardness results in plaster
finish etching and degrade the vinyl
liners and high calcium levels lead to
deposition of calcium on the pool
surfaces and equipment.

16. Chlorine4

17. Stabilized chlorine helps to
sanitize the water by killing the
algae and bacteria present in the
pool as well as eliminating the
diffused grease and oils.

18. The active chlorine in pool water should
be tested regularly and maintained at an
ideal range of 1-3 ppm.

19. Shock5

20. A shock treatment is a high
concentration of chlorine, which
adds 5-10 ppm of free chlorine to
pool water.

21. It is unstabilized chlorine, which stays in
the water for 12-24 hours and eliminates
the organic waste, kills the pathogens
and prevents the growth of algae.

22. Do not use the pool after
shocking until the chlorine level
is below 3 ppm.

23. Metals6

24. No metals like copper or iron should
be allowed to be present in a
swimming pool as they stain the
pool and change the color of the
water.

25. A stain and scale remover should be
deployed regularly to prevent
staining, and traces of metal must
be removed from the pool.

26. Conclusion

27. Always use the pool chemicals
exactly as directed with required
protective equipment and also
follow all precautions for their
storage.

28. A clean and clear water is the key to an
enjoyable pool and a healthy body.
