The impact of warm temperatures on swimming Pools
With summer in full swing in Curaçao and temperatures on the rise, it is essential to understand the impact of warm temperatures on swimming pools. Whether you are a pool owner or simply enjoy swimming, comprehending how heat affects pools is crucial to ensure a safe and enjoyable swimming experience.
Here are some key points to consider:
Chlorine Levels: Higher temperatures accelerate the breakdown of chlorine in pool water. This can result in a decrease in the effectiveness of chlorine as a disinfectant. It is important to regularly check and increase the chlorine levels to maintain water quality. During the hot season, our pool staff will increase the chlorine dosage for this reason.
Algae and Bacteria: Warm temperatures provide a favorable environment for the growth of algae and bacteria in pools. Regular filtration and the use of algicides are essential to keep the water clear and clean. Our pool staff is trained to take timely action in this regard.
Water Evaporation: The heat can also lead to increased evaporation of pool water, causing the water level to drop. Ensure that you regularly check and top up the water level to prevent damage to the pump and filtration system. Depending on the maintenance contract you have with us, we will visit your pool once or twice a week.
More Swimmers: Warm temperatures attract more swimmers. The more intensively the pool is used, the faster the chlorine in the pool depletes. This can result in a decrease in disinfectant levels and the pool turning green.
In summary, warm temperatures have negative effects on swimming pools. It is
important to take measures to maintain water quality. We do our best to prevent your pool from turning green in the months of August, September, and October. However, we cannot always control the factors mentioned above entirely.
