Summer is here and the first sign of the arrival of summer is the opening of the swimming pools. And we have some good news for you: did you know that swimming pools are much more technical than you can imagine and that we can also do experiments and learn while having fun in the pool? Here we want to explain everything related to swimming pools, from the types of pools (chlorine, salt) and how to measure their main parameters (chlorine and pH) for their maintenance. We can compare pool water with shower water and draw some conclusions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pool pH<\/a>. The pH is one of the basic factors that we have to analyse in the swimming pool. The pH depends on the good performance of the chlorine and that the water does not harm us when we open our eyes.<\/p>\n Chlorine in the pool<\/a>. Chlorine is the universal disinfectant used in swimming pools to keep them free of bacteria and insects. It is necessary to keep chlorine within certain parameters.<\/p>\n Algae and Solids. Algae and suspended solids in the pool can be detected visually. The<\/p>\n Copper Sulphate<\/a>. Copper sulphate is used as an algaecide. Here you can read the role of copper sulphate as algaecide<\/a>.<\/p>\nCHEMICALS IN THE POOL<\/h2>\n
