Have you ever been swimming in a pool and had your eyes burn unusually bad after swimming? Have you ever had a rash or been horribly itchy after swimming? Or maybe you have had swimming suits fade after swimming and you are not sure why? Well, it is very likely that any of these things were caused by the pool chemicals in the pool you were swimming in. It means that the chemicals were not added correctly, and the pH of the pool is not balanced, which can cause burning eyes, rashes, itching, and faded swimming suits. It is important that you know the correct way to add chemicals to your pool to make sure it is safe to swim in.

The Importance of Balancing Pool Chemicals

When you are dealing with pool chemicals, it does take some knowledge to balance the chemicals in your pool to make it safe for swimming. A great thing to do is have your water tested, and then you know exactly what needs to be added to make your pool safe to swim in. If you add too many chemicals, it can cause burning and itching, but if you do not add enough chemicals, it can cause algae and mold to grow in the water and can also attract bugs to the pool. This can make your pool look like a swamp, and make the water unsafe to swim in. You could get really sick. When your pool chemicals are added correctly and perfectly balanced, you can swim all you want without any harmful side effects.
