Inflatable pools, as a rule, are not equipped with filtration systems and chemicals are not added to them for water purification. But how then they maintain cleanliness and how they guarantee that bathing in them is safe for health?
Most families simply pour water from a bucket into the inflatable pool or fill it with hose. Water is constantly updated, pouring the old and filling the new. This leads to puddles and dirt on the site, but many do not pay attention to this. The technique is not too economical and not environmentally friendly.
There was a moment when only children used inflatable pools, so the pools were small or it was easy to inflate them, and they could be filled with water in a couple of minutes. Modern inflatable basins for adults large. They are an alternative to ordinary pools and are much less. Inflatable pools of this type can require up to thousands of gallons of water, if they are very deep. Without proper treatment, water in a pool of this type is contaminated with bacteria and algae, and becomes dangerous for health. It also harms the pool itself.
Chemicals and inflatable pool
If you have an inflatable pool, buy a set with test strips to check the pH of the water balance. Also buy chlorine or other chemical products for water purification. These funds should be suitable for inflatable pools. Once a week, water in a large inflatable pool should be diluted with chlorine. Once in a month, water must be diluted with algicide.
Although we said that chemicals are not used in inflatable pools, we are most often talking about children’s small pools. In large pools, chemicals have to be used. Another thing is that you should check the suitability of these chemicals for use in inflatable pools.
Do not use too many chemicals – use exactly as much as recommended by the manufacturer. There are no more chlorine to the pool up to 6 meters in width than powder for washing clothes in a washing machine.
Be sure to check that the chlorine mixed with water, and not concentrated in one place and does not swim on the surface. Chlorine can damage the walls of the pool if it reaches them in abundant concentration.
