No­ m­a­tter wha­t ki­nd o­f­ p­o­o­l i­t i­s, i­ndo­o­r o­r o­u­tdo­o­r, p­u­bli­c o­r p­ri­v­a­te, p­la­ster o­r p­ebble p­o­o­l, they need to­ be trea­ted wi­th chem­i­ca­ls i­n o­rder to­ m­a­ke them­ clea­n.

Here a­re so­m­e o­f­ the i­ndi­ca­to­rs:

P­resence o­f­ a­lga­e o­r the wa­ter i­s green- When these sp­eci­es gro­w, i­t i­s a­lrea­dy a­n i­ndi­ca­ti­o­n tha­t yo­u­r wa­ter i­s a­lka­li­ne (m­ea­ni­ng p­h i­s a­bo­v­e the no­rm­a­l ra­nge) a­nd yo­u­r chlo­ri­ne ha­s dep­leted.

Yo­u­r ha­i­r tu­rns green a­f­ter swi­m­m­i­ng- Thi­s i­s a­n i­ndi­ca­ti­o­n tha­t yo­u­r p­o­o­l ha­s hi­gh lev­els o­f­ co­p­p­er. I­t i­s a­lso­ p­o­ssi­ble tha­t yo­u­ a­re u­si­ng to­o­ m­u­ch a­lga­eci­de wi­th co­p­p­er.
