Pool Cleaners Ashmore

At most times, you should be able to see small objects at the bottom of your pool with relative ease due to the high clarity of water. A build-up of particulates within the water, however, can cause it to become cloudy. A functioning pool filter will generally clean your pool water by capturing these particulates, leaving your water clean and clear. Sadly, when your pool filter suffers from being dirty or full, or the media is old and struggling to adequately filter, it might not be able to clean your water correctly, allowing for particulate build-ups to form. These particulates find their way into your pool from a variety of sources, including microscopic algae growing in any incorrectly sanitised water, or dirt and dust entering the pool from the surrounding environment. Similarly, poorly balanced pool water can inhibit the performance of the sanitiser, as well as altering the state of chemicals in the water from solution to solid, thereby affecting water clarity.

By using the right amount of sanitiser in your pool, you can keep the water balanced and healthy. Generally, you'd want to use chlorine to achieve this, as the chemical can destroy algae, bacteria, and a variety of small organisms that might be living in your pool. Chlorinating your pool can be done in a number of different ways. The standard used to be constant vigilance, with pool owners needing to manually add chlorine to their pool water with a clockwork consistency. Today, anyone with a Ashmore pool is able to cut out the maintenance time with a filtration system fitted with a saltwater chlorinator. Salt (or other suitable mineral with a salt content) is added to the pool water in sufficient quantity so that as the pool water passes the chlorinator cell, through the process of electrolysis a soluble hypochlorous gas is dispersed into the water which acts as the sanitiser to kill the algae and other bacteria present in the water. Your pool water will need to be maintained at an appropriate pH level to ensure the chlorine treatment remains effective. It's also important that you filter the pool water appropriately, and that you regularly remove dead algae and bacteria from the filter. Your pool will also benefit from good water flow and routine brushing of the walls and floor of the pool to remove debris, dirt, and dust.

It can be challenging to owner a pool, as they require large amounts of upkeep and maintenance to ensure they remain suitable for homeowners. Consequentially, it's normal for homeowners to want to speed up the process of pool upkeep wherever they can, but that doesn't mean you'll be able to cut corners when it comes to keeping the chemical balance of your pool maintained. Active Pool Supplies are the experts in all matters related to pools, and can help you make sure you're maintaining the chemical balance in your pool in the best ways possible. If you need pool care in Ashmore, you can reach out team by calling (07) 5537 3341.

It's best if you avoid changing the chemical balance of your pool by large amount in single passes. Instead, you should make small changes by adding small amounts of chemicals. Test the water's chemical levels a few hours after each small change, though it is important that you leave it to rest with the filter running in the interim. Using large amounts of chemical in a single pass deprives you of the ability to test the water repeatedly and stop once you've achieved perfection, which you can do after smaller changes. It's possible that by adding large amounts of chemical in a single pass, you'll find yourself having made a large change that will be hard to correct. You'll need to make smaller changes to the chemical balance of your pool in multiple passes to keep it well-kept, instead of a single, larger change.

The maintenance requirements of a saltwater pool are generally minimal. A saltwater chlorinator is the specialised equipment that operates saltwater pools. By mixing sodium chloride (salt) into the pool water, the chlorinator's salt cell creates a hypochlorous gas via electrolysis, ensuring the pool is continually supplied with chlorinated water. This chlorine has a sanitising effect on the water of your pool, killing bacteria and stopping the growth of algae. As the chlorinator controls how much chlorine is being produced, the pool pump is plugged directly into the chlorinator so the chlorinator can control the pump with an in-built timer. Nonetheless, a typical chlorinator does not automatically maintain the correct level of chlorine in the water, so you still need to test the chlorine level, and then adjust the level by altering the chlorine output on the chlorinator, or by altering the running time of the pump. Your chlorinator, depending on the brand and model, will also have a specific need for salt, which means you'll need to keep an eye on the salt level of the water and adjust as necessary by adding more salt. Salt can only exit the pool alongside water, via things like splashes and backwashes; it is not consumed by the chlorinator. You will also need to measure other elements of the balance of the water and make the necessary adjustments. A smart saltwater chlorinator may be able to automate your pool care, as it can automatically test and control the pH and chlorine levels of the water using in-built acid dosing with pH and chlorine probes.

As there is no need to be constantly adding a hazardous material like liquid chlorine, a saltwater pool is easier to maintain than a pool sanitised with liquid chlorine. There's also a significantly reduced risk of metal plating on the walls of the pool for a saltwater pool, in comparison with ionised pools, which use dissolved metals to sanitise the water.
