Water hygiene with a pool dosing system

Are you already one of the approximately 800,000 happy pool owners in Germany?

Then your biggest concern is to keep the water quality at its best over the long term. This concern is more than justified, as water pollution due to environmental influences has occurred quickly.

No one wants to swim in cloudy, dirty pool water that is extremely harmful to their health.

An important prerequisite for the greatest possible bathing fun is perfect, stable water quality and the correct pool water values . For the sake of your health.

What if you didn't have to monitor the quality of the pool water, but only the water quality monitoring system ? The Pool dosing system takes over the main tasks for you in terms of measuring all important values.

Based on this, it automatically regulates the dosage of chlorine and salt. More luxury is hardly possible.

If you are planning to build a private pool system in your home garden, you should include a pool dosing system right away. In any case, this is easier and cheaper than retrofitting.

What exactly does a pool dosing system do?

It constantly measures the pH value and chlorine content of the water.

It also checks the level of disinfectants in your bathing water.

It regulates the addition of special chemicals for your pool as needed and reliably. The dosing system automatically feeds the required amount of liquid chlorine and pH minus into the pool water.

The automatic dosing of inorganic, liquid chlorine helps to avoid the formation of too much cyanic acid in the water in hot summers.

This makes the installation of an automatic dosing system using inorganic chlorine more suitable for ensuring high water quality than adding organic chlorine tablets.

What chemicals does my pool water need?

• The most important value is the pH value, ideally between 7.0 and 7.6
• If the value is too low, a pH increaser is used, and conversely, a pH reducer is used
• Incorrect pH value neutralizes the care products, in plain language: the care additives cannot develop their effect and are therefore completely worthless
• Germs and bacteria multiply rapidly in temperate, dirty water
• Chlorine in the form of tablets or granules disinfects the water

The biggest enemy in the pool is green algae

They are ideal breeding grounds for bacteria and fungi. They are easily recognizable by greenish-cloudy water and black spots on the edge and bottom of the pool.

Tip:

Don't wait until the water is dirty, cloudy and green in color, but rather prevent it!

This is usually achieved through the use of so-called algicides (algae killers).

However, caution is advised, because the adage “a lot helps a lot” does not apply here. Please be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions. The best possible success is based on regularity .

Once green algae have established themselves in the pool, it is extremely difficult to get rid of them. Often only a radical measure helps. You guessed it: the pool water is completely drained to be replaced.

The empty garden pool then has to be painstakingly cleaned and scrubbed by hand. A job that no one wants to do in hot summer temperatures.

Alternative: regularly cleaning the pool with an electric pool robot .

For this you have the Pool dosing system, which takes care of all monitoring and dosing practice processes for you. And we also have the right pool water care products (on site, in the store).

Your garden pool should not only look sparkling clean, but also be.

Conclusion

Whether you want to or not. As a pool owner, you have to deal with the question of how to ensure the water quality is hygienically perfect and then how to maintain it consistently.

Dirty pool water is not only visually unsightly, but is also extremely harmful to health. We're not just talking about visible dirt and grime that's easy to clean up. We are talking about invisible deposits that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

What you can't see is difficult to remove.

The effort should be reduced to a minimum, which is why we would like to use modern pool technology.
