Lots of thought goes into the selection of a pool, its size, color, shape, location and equipment. A pool does not really become a pool, until it is filled with water. This seemingly simple task may be fraught with problems, depending upon the quality of the water that will be used to fill the pool.Before the pool is filled, have a local pool professional run a water analysis, on the source water testing for pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, iron, copper and manganese. in some areas, phosphates and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) tests and helpful. THe test results will highlight any areas of particular concern.
Decide how you would like to sanitize the pool. Chlorine is the most popular and includes choices ranging from simple manual chlorine additions- to inline feeders- to automated salt chlorine generators. Other sanitizer choices include: bromine, biguanide, ionizers, ionization-oxidation, mineral sanitizers, ozonators and ultraviolet sanitizers. Some must be used in combination with chlorine or other oxidizers and many are used in combination, as a means of reducing chemical usage. The goal of a chlorine free pool is possible, bur a pool with a reduced chlorine presence, without the negative aspects is much more attainable and much more consistent. Budget will play a role, in choosing a sanitizing method. See more...
