07 Jul Pool Water Quality After Heavy Rain

Singapore is located along the Equator, and as such, heavy rainfall or thunderstorm is a common occurrence throughout the year in this country. The adverse weather conditions resulted in trees falling and stalling traffic at several places islandwide. How does the regular heavy rain affects pool water quality?

Weaken Pool Water Chemistry

In fact, heavy rainfalls can dilute a pool’s chlorine level. Chlorine becomes hyperactive when the pool’s pH level is lower because the chlorine will be used up quickly than normal. In other words, the chlorine is beginning to lose its germ-fighting ability. Not only will the pool now has become unsafe to swim in, bacteria and algae will start to grow in the pool. 

Therefore, we need professional pool care to check the water chemistry respectively, especially its pH, alkalinity, and chlorine levels. FPNP team knows how to balance the chemical levels by adding in necessary pool chemicals.

Protect Your Pool During Bad Weather

If you have a pool, you need to consider what a heavy rainfall or thunderstorm could do to it. A light drizzle, of course, would not cause much harm to your pool. But in the event of a regular heavy rain shower, we would need to check the water chemistry of your pool. This is to ascertain the changes that would have taken place. Also, to keep good pool water quality.

The ideal pH level of a pool should be kept between 7.2 to 7.8 to match the pH level of a human’s body. Rainwater is usually acidic, and thus, can lower a pool’s pH level. The pool water is too acidic for swimmer when pool’s pH level has decreased. It will caused skin irritation.
