All Things Related to Swimming – July 30, 2009
Welcome to the July 30, 2009 edition of all things related to swimming pools.
Aparna presents Swimming in over-chlorinated pools can have adverse effects on your skin, hair and teeth posted at Beauty and Personality Grooming, saying, “Most swimming pools, especially in the third world countries use chlorine as it is the cheapest and one of the most efficient ways of disinfecting the waters. The chlorine levels in the pool waters have to be monitored constantly and regulated carefully to maintain a recommended pH level. Correct levels of chlorine in waters don’t pose much of a health hazard. But if the level becomes too high, the water can become acidic and swimming in such over-chlorinated waters can cause many problems”

What Brand of Pool Pumps and Filters are best?
We purchased our swimming pool a couple of years ago. The equipment package that came with ours was all Pentair products. From our pump and filter, to our pressure side pool cleaner w/auxiliary pump, to our DE filter. Even our spa blower is from Pentair. We didn’t chose this brand, but it has operated flawlessly for us, and is very quiet operating. So I have thought to myself, did I get the good stuff. Are the pool pumps and filters I have are good?
