Why Is Chlorine Important?
Pools easily become contaminated. Outdoor pools are impacted by a wide range of environmental factors, including:
- Rain that contains microscopic algae spores
- Bacteria, which thrives most as a result of the presence of algae
- Windblown dust
- Debris
- Incoming water from unsanitary sources
Indoor pools are less susceptible to contamination. However, the water can still be contaminated by algae spores on clothes and skin, cosmetic substances, saliva, human sweat, urine, and other undesirable substances.
The water we swim in needs to by hygienic, which is where pool chlorination systems come in. Chlorine is the perfect agent for decontamination of a pool. Chlorine in the form of hypochlorous ions or hypochlorous acid attacks the lipids in the cell walls of microorganisms such as bacteria. The job chlorine does of wiping out algae and bacteria so that water is safe for swimming is exceptional.
Isn’t Chlorine An Irritating Agent?
Chlorine does have potential drawbacks that can be diminished with professional pool care. Down sides of chlorine are a distinctive smell that can be sharp and unpleasant, creating itchiness on skin, and causing swimsuits and sometimes even hair to change color. Chlorine in large quantities can be hazardous to human health, causing breathing problems and other symptoms.
One of the top roles of our professional technicians who maintain pools in Lakeland FL and throughout the area is to maximize the benefits of chlorine while ensuring that human health is not in any way compromised.
