Summer inflammation, the pool became a good place for people to play. Many people found out that pool workers would add antibacterials, and the idea emerged that, with the “safe lock” of antibacterials, the pool would be safe without changing water. This is a big mistake and listen to us.
Antibacterials do play an important role in the maintenance of the pool. Common chlorine-containing antibacterial agents, such as sodium hypochlorate, can destroy bacteria, the structure of viruses through oxidation, inhibit their growth and reproduction and make it difficult for pathogenic microorganisms in water, such as coliform, pyrococcus, or even gland viruses that cause hot swimming pools. When appropriate amounts of antibacterial agents are integrated into the water pool, the microbial content of the water body can be rapidly reduced in a short period of time, the health of swimmers is guaranteed and diseases such as diarrhoea, red eye disease and skin infections caused by exposure to unclean water are prevented.
However, even when antibacterials are “plused”, water-free swimming pools remain healthy “mined areas”. First, antibacterial agents do not work once and for all. Over time and with the frequent use of swimmers, their active ingredients are depleted and their effectiveness is significantly reduced. Every person who jumps into a pool and carries a source of sweat, skin, grease and urine, which flows into the water, not only provides a rich “conservation” for bacterial breeding, but also reacts with antibacterial agents, moderately and even at an accelerated rate, depleting their fungicides and causing a gradual collapse of antibacterial defences.
Second, there’s more than microbes in the pool. People play in the water, with sunscreens, hair-care products, dirt dust, etc. falling down, and growing over the years to form a muddy “pool bottom mud”. These impurities affect both the beauty of the pool and make the pool sticky, and even the antibacterials struggle to “kill the enemy” and the encirclement of the pool cannot be restored. Worse still, some of the organic, inorganic impurities that are insoluble in water may also have chemical reactions during long periods of static, which may produce an alien smell, so that the swimming pool can smell stings, even if the bacteria are temporarily controlled, and this poor water quality experience is not in the right place to be safe and healthy.
Furthermore, from a chemical balance point of view, the long-term non-replacement of water leads to imbalanced concentrations of substances in water. The continuous addition of antibacterial agents has led to the accumulation of by-products of chlorinated ion-like disinfectants in water, which, when above a certain concentration, can stimulate swimmers ‘ eyes, respiratory tracts and skin, causing symptoms of discomfort such as red swelling, pain, itching, etc., to the detriment of more harmful bacteria. At the same time, minerals such as calcium, magnesium and magnesium are lopsided by water evaporation and non-replacement, damaging pool equipment and reducing their useful life.
So, for the pool to be really safe, water exchange is an indispensable link. Reasonable water exchange cycles, depending on the size of the pool, frequency of use, weather conditions etc., generally public pools change water at least once or twice a week during summer traffic, and small private pools should not exceed two weeks. Each time the water is changed, the bottom of the pool is thoroughly cleaned, the side walls are washed, the dirt is removed, as if it were a “big sweep” of the pool, and the water quality “base” is fundamentally refreshed.
At the same time, the correct use of antibacterials is equally critical. At a standard dose, the level of residual disinfectant, such as chlorine, in water is monitored in real time to maintain fungicide activity and is adjusted with pH to ensure that the pool is alkaline and that antibacterial efficacy is maximized.
The use of antibacterials in swimming pools is only one aspect of water quality security, and a combination of water exchange and fine maintenance will make the pool truly a cool and safe spring for the summer, allowing people to travel without health concerns. Don’t believe the rumours that antibacterials can cover everything, exchange water for water and water for a pool.
