Many pool owners complain about similar problems, i.e. burning noses and eyes, itchy skin, that never ending "chlorine smell" that seems to last for days, and the wrong use of pool chemicals. This is normally a direct result of poor swimming pool water chemistry.

Basic pool care and pool water maintenance are perhaps the most important aspect in dealing with your swimming pool. A simple understanding of swimming pool water chemistry is needed to keep your swimmers happy and your swimming pool crystal clear and healthy.

It will give you that "professional look".

This will save you money and endless hours of frustration.


The Elements Of Swimming Pool Chemistry

Have a great swimming pool should be fun and cleaning your pool along with pool maintenance is part of that fun, at least it should be.

Because most indoor and outdoor swimming pools are chlorine pools, there are only six basic areas you need to know:

  1. You need to understand the functions of pool chlorine and cyanuric acid levels (CYA) The CYA is mainly for outdoor pools.

  2. You need to know how to raise and lower your pH level
  3. How to properly adjust your swimming pool's total alkalinity (TA)
  4. Your calcium hardness
  5. And last, you must have a good water testing kit

This site is dedicated to all of those who own and love their pools. Whether you have an above ground or inground pool, fiberglass, plaster, you name it.

This is the place to be for all of your swimming pool water chemistry and pool related issues and questions.

You can have the swimming pool you deserve and get the same results as your neighbor down the street who uses a professional pool service.

Just follow these simple pool tips and great pool water chemistry maintenance information, and you're on your way.

Just don't let the "pool guy" in on your swimming pool care secrets.

He may not like that.
