How to Detect and Reduce Metal Pollution in Your Pool for Crystal-Clear Waters
Maintaining the perfect quality of our pool is not only a problem with crystal clear landscaping, but also a problem with removing metal contaminants that have not entered. Metals such as copper and iron can leave unsightly stains, cause discoloration of the water, and even damage our pool equipment over time.
Controlling the troublemakers not only keeps our pool looking attractive, but also protects our investment in pool equipment. Study this guide carefully to learn practical ways to detect, control, and remove metals, for a cleaner, healthier pool!
The Source of Metals in the Pool
Have you ever wondered how the metals in your pool come from? It's a mixture of natural sources, such as iron and copper in well water, as well as environmental factors such as rainwater and storm debris. Even your pool equipment can work - think of metal pipes or fittings that can corrode over time.
Don't forget some chemicals, such as algae killer metals, but also imported metals! Of iron and manganese, this mineral can affect the clarity of the water, color, if not controlled, and even destroy all parts of the pool. Controlling them is the key to creating healthy water.
Questions and Answers about Minerals in the Pool
Minerals in the pool can be a sneaky troublemaker! Have you ever wondered why your pool steps can turn rusty or swimmers can turn blue? This is copper, usually green on the surface, while iron adds reddish-brown stains. This mineral not only has a dyeing function, but also if you turn off the water chemicals, it will corrode your favorite swimming gear. Swimmers, excessive contact with copper may result in unexpected "mermaid hair". Control the minerals, and make swimming bright, safe and stain-free!
Finding Minerals in Water
There are minerals in your pool? Look for telltale signs such as surface stains or mysterious blue hair! While these signs may be helpful, the best chemical test kits allow you to quickly submerge a test for copper, iron and other minerals. For accurate results, please place the sample in a special pool accublue test, metal testing to help maintain less than 0.2 ppm.
