Pool Cleaners Bundall

Your swimming pool should be clear enough to see a small object on the floor of the pool easily and with good clarity. If particulates have built-up within your water, then your water is likely to instead become cloudy. In normal circumstances, your filter will capture these particles, and return particle-free, clear water back to the pool. Unfortunately, if your pool filter is not functioning optimally, whether it's due to being dirty & full, or the media is old and unable to filter, then it will not be able to clean your water adequately. Dirt and dust can easily find their way from the surrounding area into your pool, making them a common origin for these particulates, as are the microscopic algae that grow in inadequately sanitised water. The clarity of your water may also be affected by unbalanced pool water, which will reduce the effectiveness of the sanitiser, or alter the chemicals present within the water from a liquid state to a solid state.

In order for your pool to be healthy and balanced, appropriate levels of sanitiser must be present. Chlorine is the most common tool for keeping your pool well maintained, as it can help you kill any small organisms, bacteria, or algae present within your pool water. There are several different ways of adding chlorine to the pool. Manually chlorinating your pool on a regular basis was a common option in the past. Fortunately, you can save time maintain your Bundall pool with a filtration system that utilises a saltwater chlorinator. These systems create a soluble hypochlorous gas using electrolysis and salts, thus killing algae and bacteria and sanitising the pool water. Any chlorine treatment will depend on the pool water being appropriately balanced at an ideal pH level. Additionally, the water must be filtered adequately so that dead algae and bacteria is captured in the filter and periodically removed from the water when the filter is cleaned. Keeping the floors and walls of your pool clean of dust, dirt, and debris can also help manage the pH of your pool water and keep it clean and safe, as is maintain good water flow.

Owning a pool can be hard work, requiring constant maintenance and upkeep. Keeping the chemical balance of your pool well-maintained is a delicate process, and you should make sure you don't try to rush through it. Thankfully, Active Pool Supplies can help you understand the best practices for maintaining the chemical balance of your pools. Get in touch with us on (07) 5537 3341 about all pool care in Bundall.

Avoid greatly altering the chemical balance of your pool in a single pass wherever possible. You can instead use small amounts of chemicals to make small changes to your pools chemical balance. After these changes have been made, test the water once you've left it to rest for a few hours with the filter running. You can repeat this process until you're satisfied with the results, which may not be the case for large changes. There is a chance that by making large alterations to your pool in a single pass, you'll find yourself having made a change that may be difficult, if not impossible, to reverse. If you're trying to maintain the chemical balance of your pool, you should avoid making large changes all at once.

Saltwater pools are quite easy to maintain. If you own a saltwater pool, it'll use a saltwater chlorinator to operate the pump and sanitise the pool. A defined amount of salt (sodium chloride) is dissolved in the pool water and as this pool water passes through the chlorinator's salt cell, a hypochlorous gas is produced (via electrolysis) and this chlorinated water is returned to the pool. If you're looking to stop the growth of algae and destroy any bacteria lurking in your pool, then you can benefit from a healthy dose of chlorine. You'll find the pool pump plugged directly into the chlorinator, because while the chlorinator controls how much chlorine is being produced, plugging the pump directly into the chlorinator allows it to control the operation of the pump as well. You'll still need to make manual adjustments to the chlorinator and the pump based on manual tests of the chlorine level in your pool, as the chlorinator cannot automatically maintain this at the correct levels. There is also a need to test for salt in your pool water, and ensure it is maintained at the appropriate level for your chlorinator. It is important to note that the chlorinator does not consume salt, and the only way that salt can leave the pool is when water leaves the pool (eg splashing or backwashing the filter). The balance of the water in your pool still needs to be maintained and adjusted, as there are other elements you will need to balance. Having said that, we do have very smart saltwater chlorinators that are fully automated with in-built acid dosing and pH and chlorine probes to automatically test and control pH and chlorine levels.

Considering the hazardous nature of liquid chlorine, a saltwater pool is simpler and safer to maintain than a liquid chlorine pool. For a saltwater pool, the risk of metal plating along the walls of the pool is severely reduced, making it easier to maintain than an ionised pool.
