Owners Guide - Domestic Swimming Pools

In-Ground Pool Owners Guide

This guide is written for the domestic swimming pool owner. Its aim is to provide all the information you need for the successful and we hope, trouble free running of your pool; so that you can ensure a clean, comfortable, and above all, safe swimming environment for all your pool users to enjoy.

Clear, clean and sparkling water is easily achieved but there are several key points to consider:

Maintaining Clean and Hygienic Pool water

It is of vital importance to keep water clean and free from the development of algae, bather pollution and bacteria etc. If left untreated, these pollutants build-up in the water to cause discomfort and risk of infection to the bathers.

With regular dosing and testing, your pool-water should be safe and fresh at all times.

Pool water Circulation and Filtration

Swimming-pool water cannot be regarded as satisfactory for use, however adequately disinfected, if the water becomes cloudy due to an excess of organic matter or particles in suspension.

Good filtration will remove any small particles from the pool but larger particles and debris etc. will be removed with a strainer basket.

Circulation is also necessary to ensure that all water in the pool is balanced, not just the area that you dosed. So, a regular circulation is needed in the pool.

Preserving the Lining and Structure of your Pool

After investing money in your pool, you will want it to have a long-lasting life!

There is a possibility that you will experience some damage due to the tap water used to fill your pool (see section on Water Hardness) but this is easily countered by regular water testing.

Maintaining the correct conditions in your pool will ensure that it is safe from water corrosion.

Further Points to Consider:

External influences such as rain, sunlight and air pollution can effect the balance of your pool-water.

The number of bathers using the pool can alter the balance of the water dramatically. Various lotions, cosmetics and perspiration can make the water cloudy or irritable to eyes and skin.

The information within this guide should be all that you require to successfully maintain a clean, safe and sparkling pool!
