Types of chlorine for your pool
Bacteria can grow in any untreated body of water with swimmers being the primary source of contaminates along with rainwater, leaves, grass, dust and pets. Having a sanitiser in the pool water at recommended levels will eliminate most of the bacteria in the water. The neutralised bacteria is then filtered out and any residual sanitiser left in the pool water will prevent any new bacteria growth.
