Many Americans associate summer with time at the pool. Why endure the crowds at a public swimming pool? Many families now have their own pool.
Americans seem to agree that swimming in a pool in summertime is an excellent choice, with approximately 9,000,000 backyard pools in the U.S.
While swimming in pools is a great way to have fun and stay healthy, they need to be maintained. A barbecue should only be held in crystal clear water.
These are the steps BioGuard takes to protect your pool this summer.
Make waves. Water movement is essential to prevent algae and bacteria from growing. It also ensures that the pool sanitizer cleans all areas. The pool water is circulated to trap debris. Pool owners should circulate their pool water for at least 10 hours each day.
– Make sure to check the filter. The pool owner should clean the filter at least once every three months.
– Scrub-a–dub. Even if their pool is automated, owners should vacuum the walls at least once per week.
– Test the waters. Every week, every pool should be tested for pH and sanitizer levels. A trained BioGuard Dealer should conduct a water analysis of every pool once in four to six week.
– Continue water treatment. The right products can help keep your pool clean and inviting for swimmers. The products can balance pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness. Other products help maintain sanitizer levels to prevent bacteria, algae, and oxidation. A water treatment plan that is both effective and efficient will keep your pool clean and inviting.
BioGuard’s 2008 innovation is a UV system. It uses ultraviolet light technology to help the primary sanitizer provide additional protection against harmful organisms such as bacteria, viruses, and cysts. The system reduces skin and eye irritation, which improves swimmers’ overall comfort. You can find more information on summer swimming at www.soak.com www.bioguard.com.
