The two most important factors in having perfect pool water is good water filtration and proper water balance. The right application of swimming pool chemicals acheives the latter. Sometimes the answer to correcting water problems is not always more pool shock or chlorine. Taking preventive measures against problems such as algae growth will save you lots of cash and headache as opposed to correcting the issue after the fact. The following are some great tips to getting the most effective results out of your swimming pool chemicals:
- Know Your Pool – Not knowing how many gallons of water your pool holds can cost you greatly by adding too much or not enough pool chemicals. Also, understand the basics on pool water chemistry such as the importance of pH balance. Test Your Water Regularly – Know what’s going on with your water before using pool chemicals. This will save you time and money.
- Adjust To The Changing Seasons – For example, the amount of weekly pool shock you use in May will probably not be enough in the middle of July. Adjust the amount of pool chemicals used to such changing factors as temperature.
- Watch For Weather Conditions – Factors such as rain and wind can add contaminates, fresh algae spores, and greatly effect the chemistry of the water. It’s good to retest your pool water after a rain or storm.
