- If the swimming pool is used heavily then water tests should be carried out at least three
times a day with a good quality pool water test kit
- The ideal pH level for pool water is pH 7.5
- Strong sunlight can reduce the amount of Chlorine in a swimming pool, therefore, monitor levels
closely during hot sunny spells
- Pool water should generally appear clear blue in colour, any variations, such as cloudiness,
may be caused by bacterial or algae growth, suspended matter or other contamination which must
not be ignored
- Check water at the return flow of water to the pool and add any chemicals at this point as
well to ensure effective mixing with filtered water
- Regularly clean the pool surfaces including the waterline to ensure that build up of sun-oils,
body fats, algae, airborne pollution and other dirt is not left to build up
- Pool surround paving slabs should be cleaned with a strong Chlorine solution, brushed away
from the pool
