Splashing about in your backyard pool on a hot day is loads of fun — but only if your pool is clean.

In a city as green as Singapore, it often means that our pools are surrounded by trees. This means that having leaves and dirt enter your pool is common, on top of the children who visit your pool and decided to urinate in it.

Regardless of whether you use your pool often, maintenance and cleaning of the pool is necessary.

How Are Pools Cleaned?

So how is the hygiene of a swimming pool maintained?

Pool water typically undergoes three stages of filtration to filter out solid particles before they chlorine is pumped in to kill bacteria.

This is because ammonia, a by-product of human urine, can cause eye irritation and respiratory problems!

The key to maintaining pool cleanliness is to keep chlorine and acidity levels in check. Too much chlorine, for example, can cause skin irritation if high doses are added. To combat this problem, chlorine is added in smaller amounts gradually. Chlorine, when broken down, splits into different chemicals such as hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hypochlorite ion (OCl), which can be used as cleaning agents.
