The stationary pool in a private house is a gorgeous opportunity to hide from the summer heat, relax and create a sense of vacation at sea. But in contrast to flowing marine or river water, many dirt, bacteria and other microorganisms accumulate in the pool. This leads to the appearance of mold and creates a risk to infect any infection. In order to avoid such problems, high-quality disinfection of the water of the pool is needed.

Types of disinfectants

By the method of action, all disinfectants are divided into:

• mechanical
• chemical.

They differ fundamentally among themselves. Mechanical are designed for large pools, which regularly use at least several people. They are much more expensive than chemical, but they have a number of quality healthy qualities.

Chemicals, on the contrary, are available and widespread. They are suitable for small pools, with the use mode on the weekend, when water is cleaned. In addition, to completely get rid of the need to drain water and clean the pool will not work. Big minus - a detrimental effect on the skin and mucous membranes. In the pools with a chemical method of water purification, it is impossible to be located more than 2 hours a day, especially if the water temperature is more than 30 degrees Celsius.

Mechanical water purification

Mechanical filtering methods suggest the installation of special units, such as:

• filters for water purification for the pool,
• water purification systems in the pool,
• bactericidal installations
• water enrichment installations.

Filters for water purification are the easiest way to clean. They cost relatively not expensive and protected from most malicious bacteria and microorganisms. The simplest principle of execution does not allow them to effectively deal with viruses. Therefore, water in the pool will still have to be changed, but once a month.

The simplest water purification systems in the pool consist of pumps and filters, one part of which pumped up and cleans the water into a special tank, and the other pumped the water back to the pool. There are mechanisms with continuous work, they cost more, there are more shower cyclic options. They work either by turning off, or under computer control, conducting cleaning after a certain period of time.

A more advanced version of such systems is bactericidal installations. In addition to standard filters, they are equipped with special chemical components that are actively struck with viruses and prevent the appearance of mold. In addition, water is significantly softened and the pH normalizes.

The most perfect are placed plant enrichment. They possess the same functions as bactericidal, but in additions to this are able to ilitate and oligodinamine. Ozonation implies the flow of pure ozone into the water. The gas is quickly mixed with water molecules, decaying oxygen. As a result, water becomes very soft, having a beneficial effect on the skin. Creates a rejuvenation effect.

Oligodinamination is the use of silver ions. This metal is known for their properties to kill any viruses and bacteria. Usually carried out using a silver filter. Metal under the influence of water releases free ions that penetrate the pool. By and large, such a filter can be any piece of silver sufficient mass, but it is better to use factory analogues.

Chemical water purification

There are disputes on chemicals, but nevertheless, they are much cheaper than mechanical ways. In addition, modern technologies made it possible to minimize the harm from the halogen components of additives to filter the pools. The following methods of disinfection of water are distinguished:

• chlorination,
• bromination
• iodization
• active oxygen.

The most common way is chlorine disinfection. His properties destroy viruses and bacteria have been revealed for a long time. In addition, it is one of the most affordable chemical elements, so the price is not large. Of the disadvantages - an unpleasant smell. In addition, chlorine refers to halogens. This is a group of chemical elements, which is characterized by the greatest ability to oxidation. It is the acidic environment that kills microorganisms, but it destroys the protective epithelium of the skin and mucous membranes. Chlorine in activity is only inferior to Fector, but this item is not used due to severe harm to health.

The third activity of halogen is bromine. Unlike chlorine, it does not smell and more gently refers to skin cover. However, bromine in water, like any halogen, creates an acid medium, so it is impossible in it for more than a few hours. And after exiting the pool, you must adopt a shower.

Iodine is the last element of the halogen family, which is used to clean the water of the pool. It enters as a component of many additives, but never in its pure form, as although less active than chlorine and bromine, but is significantly better dissolved in water. The high concentration of iodine causes the risk of chemical burns.

The most modern way is the additives using active oxygen for pools. The mixture data contains ionized ₂ which actively comes into connection with water molecules, creating an exothermic reaction, with the allocation of a huge amount of heat. In order not to be in the chemical process very deeply, active oxygen burns out all microorganisms in water.

Useful advice

In addition to the listed methods of water purification, some other methods and technical achievements are also applied. For example, an ultraviolet spectrum of light is able to destroy live microorganisms. Naturally, such lamps will be harmful for the skin, so it is recommended to include them for the night, it will not only clean the water, but also create a beautiful backlight of the pool.

Another useful device is various dosimeters that follow the chemical state of water. They are useful in order to control the level of chemicals for cleaning the pool. Another type of these devices is monitored by biological forms and warn it in advance that water needs cleaning.

Another way to hear is biological water purification. But this technology is used exclusively for filtering technical, waste and sewer waters that are not suitable for swimming or drinking.

Firms manufacturers

There are several companies on the market for water purification for the pool, which have positively proven themselves and are in great demand. By the ratio of price-quality allocate the following filters:

• EMAUX,
• Kripsol,
• Brilix.

Emaux is an American brand that is one of the largest manufacturers of accessories for swimming pools. Wide range, availability and the ability to choose exactly the unit that suits specifically for your needs make this company the optimal choice for cleaning home pools.

The second company is definitely considered the Spanish concern Kripsol unconditionally considered to be the Spanish model. The history of the company began only twenty years ago, but the highest quality and the ability to choose not only the filtration systems, and also the full range of additional equipment made this company by the world's leading manufacturer.

The french concern Albixon closes the top three. The corporation is engaged in the manufacture of various filtering and pumping equipment, both for industrial and domestic use. Systems for swimming pools are represented by a separate structural division of the company called Brilix. Although the firm's models gives a choice less than competitors, their price is much more accessible.

If we talk about chemical cleaning, then allocate the following manufacturers:

• Crystal Pool,
• Delphin
• Bayrol,
• hH.

Crystal Pool is a Latvian manufacturer. Product quality fully complies with European Union standards. The company specializes mainly at the production of pH level regulators and chlorine-containing additives.

The German concern Delphin is one of the largest chemistry exporters for pools. The range of the company includes absolutely all directions from various indicators to ionizing and ozonizing additives. All products are certified and its use is absolutely safe. Of the disadvantages, the lack of good distributors and sufficiently overestimated prices.

Another major German concern - Bayrol. The history of the firm has more than 60 years. From others, it is distinguished by the presence of its own laboratory, in which work is constantly being carried out on the improvement of the finished products and the study of the new possibilities of chemicals for water purification. Thus, Bayrol has the most innovative technologies and offers customers absolutely safe products for health.

Competition for the above grant household chemicals for pools is the French concern Arch Water Products, which recently joined the world's largest Lonza corporation, engaged in the production and sale of equipment and chemicals in more than 100 industries and household needs. In the Russian market, products are presented under the brand of HOL. It meets all quality requirements and is available in most specialized stores.

In addition to the specified, there are many other brands as domestic and foreign ones. But in most cases they offer products of Chinese producers under their own brand. Therefore, the quality of goods often does not meet the declared characteristics. Such a product is much cheaper, but there is a risk of unpleasant diseases. With regular use of the pool, it is better to contact reliable manufacturers.
