1. Protect Swimmers’ Health (The Most Important Factor)

1. Pool water continuously accumulates sweat, skin flakes, body oils, cosmetics, urine, saliva and hair. These organic pollutants consume disinfectants and breed bacteria, fungi and algae.
2. Harmful pathogens such as E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa may grow. They can cause eye infections, skin irritation, folliculitis, athlete’s foot and ear inflammation. Algae may trigger allergic reactions for sensitive people.
3. Organic matter reacts with chlorine to form disinfection by-products including trichloramine, which creates strong chlorine odour and irritates the respiratory tract with long-term exposure.

2. Keep Water Clear for Visual Effect & Safety

1. Silt, fallen leaves and suspended particles build up gradually and make the water turbid.
2. Poor water visibility prevents people from seeing the pool bottom clearly, raising drowning risks. Severe algae blooms turn the water green and ruin the swimming experience.

3. Protect Pool Structures & Equipment to Extend Service Life

1. Long-term dirt and algae adhere to pool walls and floors. They corrode pool liners, tile grout and concrete structures, leading to surface peeling and water leakage.
2. Debris enters circulation systems, clogging filters, water pumps and suction pipelines. It increases equipment load, shortens the service life and raises maintenance costs.

4. Stabilise Water Balance & Reduce Chemical Consumption

1. Accumulated contaminants disrupt pH, total alkalinity and chlorine levels, making water hard to balance.
2. Insufficient cleaning requires far more disinfectants, pushing up chemical costs. It creates a vicious cycle that easily causes turbid green water and unpleasant chlorine smell.

5. Cut Long-Term Treatment Costs

Regular removal of minor pollutants costs little. If cleaning is neglected, massive algae outbreaks and stubborn stains will require large amounts of chemicals and heavy manual deep cleaning. In serious cases, the whole pool needs draining and refilling, resulting in much higher costs.

Supplementary Routine Cleaning Tips

• Daily: Skim floating debris and hair on the water surface; vacuum sediment at the pool bottom periodically.
• Periodic: Backwash sand filters or clean filter bags; brush pool walls and the waterline (where oil accumulates heavily).
• Combine cleaning with water testing to achieve optimal water quality.
