Pool Chemicals: Safe and Healthy Swimming

Pool water should not only look clear but also remain microbiologically safe, chemically balanced, and comfortable for swimmers. Proper use of pool chemicals ensures a safe and pleasant swimming experience. Incorrect dosing, poor storage, or careless handling can cause eye and skin irritation, chloramine odor, corrosion, and equipment damage.

This guide covers the most common pool chemicals, water balance parameters, safety practices, maintenance schedules, and the role of smart automation to boost efficiency.

Where to find pool chemicals - Artemis Pool

Why Use Chemicals?

  • Disinfection: Eliminates bacteria, viruses, and algae.
  • Water Balance: Maintains pH and alkalinity for comfort and equipment protection.
  • Shock & Oxidation: Quickly restores water after heavy use or rain.
  • Aesthetic & Comfort: Prevents odors, cloudiness, and irritation.

Main Chemical Types and Uses

Chlorine: Primary disinfectant. Granules, liquid, or tablets. Effective but UV sensitive outdoors. Stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid): Slows chlorine degradation under sunlight. pH Adjusters: Sodium carbonate (raise) and muriatic acid (lower). Alkalinity Adjusters: Sodium bicarbonate to buffer pH fluctuations. Calcium Hardness: Keep between 200–400 ppm to prevent corrosion or scaling. Shock Treatments: Use after heavy load or chloramine smell. Algaecides & Clarifiers: Prevent algae and improve clarity.

Conclusion and Tips

Using the right chemical at the right time and dose keeps pool water clear, hygienic, and comfortable. Support with automation, good filtration, and circulation to reduce maintenance costs and improve user satisfaction.
