Brown Swimming Pool Water

Yikes! I have brown swimmingpool water. How do I make it blue?
Yellow and brown swimmingpool water is brought about by the chemical reaction of iron and granular chlorine. Since granular chlorine (calcium hypochlorite) is an oxidant, it reacts with iron to form rust when applied to untreated water which is added to treated swimming pool water.
This untreated water is often saturated with iron such as deep well water found in tropical countries like the Philippies.
So do not apply granular chlorine (calcium hypchlorite) on your newly refilled swimming pool if its water is still saturated with iron so as to avoid the production of rust, through oxidation, and, consequently, avoid brown or yellow swimmingpool water.
What should you do to solve this problem?
First filter your new swimmingpool water for at least 24 hours, and after you have removed the rust from your swimming pool water, you may apply granular chlorine on your swimming pool water. It would still be be wise, however, to hire a reliable swimming pool service company to solve this problem because if you do not solve this problem soon, your swimming pool tiles may be permanently stained by rust.

Swimming Pool Chlorine

I clean my swimmingpool and want to maintain a 1.0 to 1. 5 ppm chlorine level in my swimmingpool water. How can I do this during summer?
Summer can get really hot if you live in a tropical country, and this means that it will be a great challenge for you to maintain your desired chlorine level.
Chlorine is a gas. These means that even if you have granular, tablet, or liquid chlorine applied on your swimming pool, this element will still evaporate upon contact with heat, particularly sunlight.
So, let's say you have a 4 meter by 8 meter swimming pool and you live in Makati City, Philippines. Here are some of the things you should purchase to maintain a 1.0 ppm to 1.5 ppm chlorine reading: 1. A chlorine dispenser 2. chlorine tablets 90% 3. stabilizer (cyanuic acid) 4. 70% granular chlorine. After purchasing these items, place the 90% tablet chlorine inside your chlorine floating dispenser. Then leave the floating dispenser floating on your swimming pool water surface. For safety reasons, however, you should remove this floating dispenser on your swimming pool whenever there are swimmers in your swimming pool. Apply cyanuric acid on your swimming pool water. Afterwards, it will be a great idea to apply at most 200 grams of 70% granular chlorine on your swimming pool water every other day or upon your discretion, since your overall chlorine level will be at least 1.0 ppm by then.

However, it is your responsibility to check your test kit and control your chlorine level. Be careful not to let swimmers swim on your swimming pool whenever you have a 3.0 ppm chlorine reading on your test kit or whenever you have just applied chlorine on your swimming pool water or they will suffer from chlorine burns and irritated eyes.
I, therefore, recommend, that you ask a reliable swimming pool service company to clean and maintain your swimming pool for you, since water treatment is technical and involves daily maintenance which will eat up most of your time.

Swimming Pool Water Disinfection

My Pool Technician uses Granular Chlorine to disinfect my swimming pool water, but I prefer to use Active-Oxygen tablets. What should I do then? There are three ways to disinfect swimmingpool water namely: 1. Using Bromine; 2. Using Chlorine; and 3. Using Active-Oxygen. All three methods are acceptable ways of disinfecting your swimming pool water.
However, the most common water disinfection method practised in the Philippines, is the Chlorine method, since Bromine tablets and Active-Oxygen tablets are not available in the country today.

If you are dead-set to use Active-Oxygen tablets, find a swimmingpool company that uses Active-Oxygen as their primary means of disinfecting swimming pool water.
If you are really irritated with the smell of chlorine, wou may want to use an Automatic Salt Chlorine Generator instead.

Swimming Pool Leaks

Why does my swimmingpool keep losing water?

Your swimming pool may be losing water due to many reasons. However, here are four common reasons why a swimming pool loses water:
1. Leaking underground swimming pool pipes - Your underground swimming pool pvc or G.I. pipes maybe cracked and leaking. Thus, water from your swimming pool flows into your leaking pipes and out of your swimming pool shell. You will have to replace your underground swimming pool pipeline system to solve this problem.
2. A cracked or leaking concrete/swimming pool shell - Your swimming pool shell, be it a concrete swimming pool shell or an Intex above ground swimming pool pvc lining may be cracked, leaking or punctured. If this is the case, you will have to ask a swimming pool construction company to repair your swimming pool's shell.
3. Incompetent Maintenance - Your swimming pool maintenance man may have accidentally oppenned your swimming pool surface ball valve main drain and consequently drained your swimming pool. The solution is to hire a competent swimming pool service company to clean and maintain your swimming pool and your erpensive swimming pool equipment.
4. Evaporation - It is common in tropical countries for swimming pools to lose water during summer. If this is the reason why your swimming pool loses water, you may consider constructing a roof over your swimming pool.
