pH Perfect – Trouble Free Water pH balance!

September 28th, 2009

Many swimming pool owners have great difficulty correcting their pH. It always seems to be a constant battle, More pH Minus, oh no now more pH Plus and all you seem to be doing is buying more and more chemical and what you eventually achieve is nothing but an incorrect pH balance and a TDS level in the pool.

pH Perfect measures the pH with a probe located in the filtration system, which constantly measures the pH of the water in the pool. According to the value measured, pH Perfect adjusts the pH of the water with its single dosing pump by adding a liquid corrective product, either a solution of acid or base required.

 

pH Perfect is easily installed on either new or existing systems it can be combined with all types of water treatment whether manual or automatic and when used in conjunction with a salt chlorinator it can extend the chlorinators life span and reduces the maintenance on the cell.

 

In the local area to us we often use and acidic solution as we are prone to high Ph levels in our water supplies. The unit can be installed in just a few hours and then that will lead to a lot less manual additions of chemical to the swimming pools water.

Chlorine Links to Asthma

September 16th, 2009

 

The study found that teenagers who spent more than 1000 hours swimming in pools that are sanitised using chlorine, either indoors or outdoors, (although indoor was the primary focus)  were more than eight times as likely to have asthma than teenagers who swam mostly in swimming pools treated using alternative forms of sanitization mainly ionisation.

“Chlorinated pool attendance has a very significant impact on the prevalence of allergic diseases in the studied population,” said leading researcher Alfred Bernard, a professor of toxicology and research director at Catholic University of Louvain in Brussels, Belgium.

“When used correctly, [chlorine] is an efficient and safe disinfectant for swimming pools. However, when too much chlorine is added to water or builds up in the air of indoor pools, there is unavoidably some irritation of the organs of the bather in contact with the water and air”.

“There is now increasing evidence that these irritating effects may be detrimental to the airways of regular swimmers, especially the children who are the most vulnerable and the most frequent attendees of chlorinated pools.”

More than 5.1 million people in the UK currently have asthma. Britain has one of the worst rates of childhood asthma in the world.

Asthma, which comes from the Greek word meaning ‘Hard breathing’ can cause symptoms of wheezing, shortness of breath and coughing. The airway disease can be triggered by a number of factors, such as cold air, exercise and chemical irritants.

While chlorine has long been known to be an airway irritant and potential trigger of asthma, particularly in indoor pools,The recent study suggests that chlorinated pools might play a role in the development of asthma and allergy.

The study included 847 Belgian teenagers between the ages of 13 and 18. All had attended indoor or outdoor swimming pools, but at various rates of attendance. One hundred and fourteen children mainly attended pools that were kept clean with a copper-silver disinfect, rather than chlorine. The remainder primarily attended pools disinfected with chlorine.

The number of children who ever had asthma went up in proportion to their chlorinated pool exposure.

Teens who swam for 100 to 500 hours in chlorinated pools had an 80% increased risk of having asthma, while those who logged 500 to 1000 hours had just over twice the risk.

When teens spent more than 1000 hours swimming in chlorinated water, the risk of ever having had asthma nearly quadrupled.

The risk of currently having asthma was more than eight times higher in the group with more than 1000 hours in chlorinated pools compared to those who were rarely in chlorinated water, according to the study.

The risk of allergies also increased significantly when adolescents spent more than 100 hours swimming in chlorinated pools. In fact, the risk of hay fever and other allergies more than doubled with significant chlorinated pool exposure.

No more Chlorine smells for Mr Jewell, Aylesbury Bucks.

March 27th, 2009

Mr Jewell Has become a very valued customer now for 2 seasons and a very keen swimming pool owner. However for many reasons including time constraints and available time to look after his swimming pool Mr Jewell has requested an alternative to Chlorine.

After much deliberation over the benefits of salt water over Uv and Ozone treated swimming pools we opted that in fact the Pool Fresh Ionizer system is more suited to Mr Jewell and his family’s needs.

Pool fresh enables the use of very little sanitizer additions to the swimming pool using ionizer technology to eliminate harmful swimming pool bacteria, all that is required is frequent checking to the Pool fresh Probe system and regular additions of the Pool fresh sachet.
