You can relax in your own swimming pool on a beautiful summer day. But of course you want to enjoy your bath and the clean swimming water for as long as possible. Boerenbond gives you tips on swimming pool maintenance.
What water do you use for your pool?
You have a swimming pool, but it will also need to be filled with water. Always use tap water and not ground water for this. Groundwater can cause problems because it contains a lot of lime and iron and the acidity differs. In addition, the maintenance products can work less well if you were to fill the pool with groundwater.
The hardness of water
The hardness of the water is important if you are going to use chlorine to rid the water of bacteria. Only use inorganic chlorine with soft water. Organic chlorine can be used with all water types and is also easier to use.

Keep the pool clean
When you fill the pool you have nice clean water to swim in, but the water will get dirty faster due to use. Consider, for example, skin flakes, creams and dirty feet. Leaves that fall into the pool will also pollute the water. Fortunately, you can do a few things yourself to fight bacteria and prevent algae!
