Tips & Advice

Water care for pools
A pool is not drained after every bath. The water can be used by 3 months. To guarantee a high water quality several care steps have to be performed:
  • Measurement and regulation of pH-value
  • Change of the filter cartridge
  • Addition of fresh water
  • Regular cleaning of the whole system (at least with every filling)
  • Disinfection
A basic disinfection is always integrated via an ozone generator. A further disinfection is necessary as well. We recommend the care products from Bayrol.
