Why should you treat the water in your pool?

The swimming pool water comes under permanent attack and therefore suffers damages due to impurities

  • Brought about by swimmers: saliva, sweat, hair, lotions, bacteria, etc.

  • Brought about by the environment: grass, earth, soot, acid rain, etc.

The treatment seeks to

  • Prevent the spread of algae and bacteria

  • Prevent lime deposits

  • Make the water comfortable for a relaxation

Irrespective of the pool, the water must be

  • Pristine & Safe

  • Disinfected

  • Disinfecting

  • Comfortable

A poorly treated pool can cause irritations

  • To the eyes

  • To the skin

  • To the ENT area

  • To the feet
