If it's too high, your water might get cloudy, or you might get scale at the pool's water line or inside the pool heater.

If it's too low, it can cause the surface of a concrete pool to erode.

If it's too low in a vinyl or fiberglass pool, it will have no effect, so don't worry about it.

Pool dealers will still sell you calcium to add to vinyl pools, because they like selling stuff, and have been told by the chemical companies that you need to have it. They don't know why, though.

What tools would be required for testing the chemicals in a swimming pool?

If someone wants to test the water in a swimming pool then they need to buy a supply of the water testing kits that are available. These use chemicals and colors to indicate what is needed to be added to purify the water. Chlorine in some form is also needed regularly.


What is pool shock made of?

Pool shock is typically made of calcium hypochlorite or sodium dichloroisocyanurate. These compounds are powerful oxidizing agents that help to eliminate algae, bacteria, and other contaminants in swimming pools.


What is reaction of calcium hypochlorite and sodium bicarbonate?

When calcium hypochlorite and sodium bicarbonate react, they produce calcium carbonate, sodium chloride, and water. This reaction is commonly used in swimming pool chlorination systems to release chlorine gas for disinfection purposes.


How can I effectively treat and prevent chlorine burn in my swimming pool?

To effectively treat and prevent chlorine burn in your swimming pool, you can maintain proper chlorine levels, regularly test and balance the water chemistry, shock the pool when needed, and ensure proper circulation and filtration. Additionally, showering before swimming and using sunscreen can help reduce the risk of chlorine burn.

Is swimming in the sea healthier than swimming in the swimming pool?

One is not necessarily more healthy than another, because it depends on the sea and it depends on the swimming pool. Ocean conditions vary tremendously depending on the weather, currents, and other variables. When evaluating the health of a swimming pool, you need to look at how well it's maintained. A sanitized swimming pool (usually with chlorine) that is balanced (meaning pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, etc.) is safe for swimming. If the pool hasn't been properly sanitized and balanced, swimmers are vulnerable to ear and eye infections and other problems caused by bacteria and other contaminants in the pool.


How often do you check your calcium hardness?

The recommended frequency for checking calcium hardness in swimming pools is once a month. Other water tests will depend on how often the pool is used.
