Working Safely with Pool Chemicals

Introduction
Pool maintenance relies on the proper use of various chemicals (acids, bases, chlorine, aluminum sulfate, etc.) to keep water clean and disinfected. However, these substances can be dangerous if handled incorrectly.

Important Guidelines

  • Avoid adding chemicals during swim hours: To prevent direct exposure, never add chemicals when bathers are in the water.
  • Wear protective equipment: Use gloves, goggles, and suitable clothing when preparing and applying chemicals.
  • Store acids and bases separately: Uncontrolled mixing can lead to hazardous reactions.
  • Ensure proper ventilation: In enclosed pump rooms, make sure there is adequate air circulation to prevent the buildup of toxic fumes.
