Swimming pools are fun to have when they’re well-maintained. What can be unfun is the process of maintaining them. One part of pool maintenance that you’ll need to carry out is the process of adding pool chemicals. While this process can be a chore, it’s necessary to complete because there are consequences that come from not having these chemicals. Here’s what can happen to your pool when it doesn’t have pool chemicals.
Bacteria is Able to Grow
One of the biggest consequences of not using pool chemicals is that the water in your pool will start to develop bacteria. There are various types of bacteria that can start growing, and the consequences can range from foul odors, pool water discoloration, and bad health effects on people who try to use your swimming pool. Pool chemicals are necessary because they prevent the development of these harmful types of bacteria.
Algae Growth
When pools don’t get treated, it’s very common for algae to start growing in the pool water. This results in algae stains developing on your pool’s walls. Algae can make pool walls more slippery, and this, in turn, can result in accidents while people are using your pool. You don’t want people to get injured while using your swimming pool, so treating it with pool chemicals is needed so that you minimize the likelihood of these accidents taking place.
Health Effects
Pool chemicals also protect against adverse health effects. Without these chemicals, people who use your pool may experience infections, burning eyes, and/or itchy skin. To keep people healthy while swimming in your pool, you need to use pool chemicals to prevent these side-effects.
