Pool Maintenance -Changing Pool Water
One of the common queries we receive regarding pool maintenance revolves around the need to change pool water regularly. The straightforward answer to this question is No.
Maintaining the crystal clear, healthy condition of your pool doesn't necessitate a regular, complete change of water. This is contingent on two key factors - the effective operation of your pool plant equipment and the accurate balance of pool water chemicals.
Efficient Pool Plant Equipment
Your pool plant equipment, including the circulation and filtration systems, plays a pivotal role in maintaining the water quality of your pool. The equipment ensures that the pool water is continuously circulated, driving any dirt particles into the filtration system. This helps in keeping your pool clean and safe for swimmers. Therefore, as long as your pool plant equipment is working efficiently, there's no need for a regular change of water.
Accurate Chemical Balance
Maintaining the right chemical balance in your pool water is critical to keeping it clean and healthy. A regular check of pH, alkalinity, and disinfectant levels helps in maintaining a safe, comfortable swimming environment.
Fresh Water Top-up
While a complete change of water isn't required frequently, fresh water needs to be added periodically to the pool. This compensates for water loss due to evaporation, backwashing the filter, or splash-out during swimming sessions.
In summary, effective pool maintenance is about ensuring efficient operation of the pool equipment and maintaining the correct chemical balance in the pool water. A periodic top-up of fresh water will keep your pool at its best for enjoyable swimming experiences.
