Use only commercially available disinfectants suitable for private swimming pools. Chlorine is the most common. Other methods include ozonation, UV irradiation and ionising systems.

Note: Ozone, UV and ionising systems require the addition of a small amount of oxidising agent such as chlorine or hydrogen peroxide to maintain a residual disinfection activity in the water.

The ideal disinfection system is one that uses automatic dosing and filtration. However, manual dosing is commonly used in private swimming pools. When using manual dosing, it is important to check the pump and filter system daily to ensure they are clean and working correctly.

A method such as a floating immersion dispenser should be used to disinfect the swimming pool water at all times when the pool is not in use. Consult with the swimming pool supplier for manual operation requirements.

When the swimming pool becomes heavily contaminated or is poorly maintained it may need to be “shock dosed” to bring it back to the correct operating conditions

A skimmer is a type of drain that is installed on the wall of a pool or spa and is connected to the suction line of the motorized pump. At the bottom of most pools, there is a main drain. This drain will be slightly lower than the rest of the pool so that everything slides towards it. It draws water and floating debris, such as hair, suntan oil, bugs and leaves, off the surface of the water. Skimmers usually have a weir, which is a small floating door on the side of the skimmer that faces the water. The skimmer weir lets small amounts of water into the skimmer to be filtered and prevents debris from floating back into the pool once the pump has been shut off.

Proper disinfection and filtration of the swimming pool water kills harmful micro-organisms, removes body fats and oils, and ensures the water is clean, safe and sparkling.

Swimming pool water should be tested prior to use and at least three times per week using a reliable pool water test kit, as advised by your pool supplier. When testing the following parameters should be measured; disinfection levels, pH and total alkalinity.

It is very important that the pump lint-pot and filter are cleaned regularly to ensure they do not become a source of contamination for the swimming pool water.

If a sand or diatomaceous earth filter is used, the water used to backwash (rinse) the filter must be disposed of into the sewer or into separate underground soakage if located in an unsewered area.
