A Review of Swimming Pool Sanitization  Methods Many homeowners struggle while trying to select sanitization systems for their swimming pools because they have many options to choose from. The truth is: no single system is best. Different swimming pools call for different systems. You should therefore consider a number of variables when selecting a sanitization system, including initial costs, maintenance costs, maintenance tasks, climate, and number of swimmers. In this article, I briefly discuss five popular swimming pool sanitization methods and list advantages and disadvantages of each. Chlorine Chlorine has historically been the most widely-used chemical for swimming pool sanitization, though several alternative sanitation methods have recently gained popularity. It kills bacteria by undergoing a simple chemical reaction.

Why UV could be a better Sanitizer for Swimming Pools?

-

UV-C light is a very powerful germicide. It deactivates and renders harmless waterborne pathogens that are completely unaffected by chlorine based disinfectants. Examples of dangerous pathogens (viruses and cysts) neutralized by UV-C light are Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia lamblia; chlorine will not affect these. UV-C is effective against all microorganisms for example also the Pseudomonas, papillomavirus and e-coli. A secondary disinfectant must be added to the water to ensure that the water actually in the swimming pool is disinfectant as well as disinfected. The most commonly used secondary disinfectants are chlorine based chemicals. UV-C kills destroys the chloramines (The smell of pool water changes to better. This is because  of the lack of chloramines in the swimming pool).  As a by-product of the disinfection process, chlorine combines with bathers’ body fluids in the pool water and form chloramines. Chloramines are unpleasant substances that cause eye, skin and nose irrit

Rain and your skimmer box

-
So it is raining, which is good for the farmers and topping up your pool. However, did you know if your pool is too full, it may stop your skimmer box from working? It is recommended you have your water level between one-third and one-half up the skimmer box opening. If the level it higher is may slow or even stop debris being pulled into the skimmer box through the plate or valve , meaning floating debris will be left on your pool water surface. Please ensure you check your water level regularly, even during winter, and drain or backwash to ensure your pool surface is bug and dirt free.
