Since molds don't have an immune system, they produce antibiodics that kill bacteria.

Does pH kill bacteria in swimming pool water?

Yes. The lower the pH, the fewer bacteria that can live in the water. That is also how soft drinks work. Unlike milk, a bottle of pop does not go bad in your refrigerator. That bottle is filled with a weak acid. Occasionally, it will get mold on top, but it never gets bacteria. Occasionally people's ears get mold from swimming pools. Mold can live at a lower pH than bacteria. Thus, people should dry out their ears after swimming. Chlorine also produces monatomic oxygen. That also kills bacteria. A lower pH can hurt someone's eyes. Ozone can also kill bacteria. Ozone in air will kill people long before it kills bacteria. In water, it will kill bacteria. When the ozone is dissolved in water, it kills bacteria. It would kill people long before it killed bacteria except that people do not breathe water. It stays in the water and does not get into the air.
