Ideally, pool water should be tested at least twice a week during periods of regular use (summer), and once a week during the off-season. The parameters to check are pH, chlorine/bromine levels, alkalinity, and sometimes the stabilizer (cyanuric acid).
The water turns green due to an algae bloom, often caused by a lack of active chlorine, a pH that is too high, or insufficient filtration. Even if the filter is working, a chemical imbalance or a lack of shock treatment allows algae to develop.
The level of free chlorine must be maintained between 1 and 3 ppm (parts per million). Below this threshold, the water may not be properly disinfected. Above this threshold, it may cause irritation. After shock treatment, wait until the level drops below 3 ppm before swimming.
Protect your vehicle with a sturdy, perfectly installed shelter. Groupe Laurentides takes care of everything!
