Extensive studies are still being carried out to evaluate greater health benefits of swimming pools and spas. Relaxation, physical exercise, etc are something which was first to be proved. Further, when hydrotherapy came into light, swimming pools became the sole contender for the benefits. The health benefits of swimming pools cannot be ignored at all.

Keeping Swimming Pool Algae Tamed

By +Nicolas DAlleva

Algae are a nuisance pest to every swimming pool. If you are a swimming pool owner, you are probably very familiar with algae. If you are new to pools or are considering swimming pool ownership, algae can range from a single celled organism to a multi-cellular plant without any true root, stem, or real plant structure. Algae grow in water swimming pool water and leave a slime residue on swimming pool walls. Algae is found in all types of swimming pools (in ground, vinyl, and fiberglass pools) but particularly swimming pools with rough pool wall surfaces for the algae to cling to such as plaster walls on an in ground concrete swimming pool. It is most prevalent in shallow ends of swimming pool because those areas are warmer and receive more light for the microorganism to use as food and fuel for growth.

Algae buildup is not the result of an abnormal contamination or a chemical imbalance, it is a naturally occurring organism and is a nuisance phenomenon in all swimming pools. The best way to prevent and maintain algae buildup is to perform weekly cleanings, vacuuming, and filter changes. Also, make sure your chlorine and bromine levels are where they should be to inhibit single cell or multi-cellular microscopic plant growth (i.e. algae). However, even if you perform scheduled maintenance and your chemicals are in perfect balance, algae can still infest your swimming pool.

Algae grow as spores which can and will find their way into your swimming pool. They may be in the water you use to fill your pool, they may be carried into your swimming pool by your pool patrons, or they can also be carried into your pool through wind. There is not much that can be done to prevent algae from entering your swimming pool because of its microscopic stature.

Algae are a fact of life to pool owners and are quite a task to remove once it gets out of hand. Many forms of algae can be taken off with hard work and scrubbing, where other types of algae will constantly re-occur. These types should be treated with pool chemical algaecides. For specific treatment information for a tough infestation, we recommend you take a sample of your swimming pool water to your pool supply house where they can analyze your algae type and give you the best chemical treatment options for it. Since algae will always find its way into your swimming pool, the best way to treat it is to maintain your swimming pool through regular cleanings and maintenance.

Do You Know the Swimming Pool Filters Types?

By John Collins

Owning a swimming pool is not considered a luxury anymore, as swimming pools have become more affordable over the last years and more and more people are installing pools in their back yards. However, having bought and installed the swimming pool is not enough. If you want to fully enjoy it, you have to properly maintain it and having an efficient water filter is one of the most important steps in this regard.

However, many people avoid buying a swimming pool filter as they do not consider it necessary or they do not know what sort of filter is most suitable for their own swimming pool.

When it comes to swimming pool filters, you should know that there are three main types of filtration systems. These types are filters are the sand filter, the cartridge filter and the diatomaceous earth filter (also known as DE filter). These filters can and should be installed on all types of pools, no matter if they are in ground swimming pools or above the ground pools.

Each of the above filters has a different task and they should be purchased for their characteristics.

The first type of swimming pool filters, the sand filter, is supposed to remove any sand particles from reaching your pool and they are effective in stopping particles 20 to 100 microns in size to reach your swimming pool.

The cartridge swimming pool filter has a similar method of functioning as your fridge or car purifier and it is effective in removing particles 25 to 100 microns in size.

The DE filters are considered to be the most efficient types of swimming pool filters, as they can stop even the smallest particles from getting in your pool (DE filters are meant to stop debris 3 to 5 micros in size).

Depending on the region you live in and the water's characteristics, you may require one type of filter or another. In all situations, DE filters provide you with the cleanest water possible, but they are also the most expensive swimming pool filters.

All the swimming pool filters should be cleaned regularly and the most frequent and recommended method of cleaning the filter is backwashing them (reversing the water flow through the filter, all the gathered debris will be drained away).

Having a swimming pool filter is vital if you want to enjoy your pool and avoid any possible problems with impure water.
