The number of swimmers in summer has surged! How to determine whether the water quality of the swimming pool meets the standard? Two Clever Tips for Water Quality | Swimming Pool | Swimming Pool
Summer vacation has arrived, and the weather is hot. Parents cannot help but take their children to swimming pools and various water parks to play and cool off. The key to swimming in public swimming pools is to ensure that the water quality is qualified. As summer vacation begins, the number of swimmers in major swimming pools is rapidly increasing, and relevant departments have also increased their testing efforts accordingly.
Law enforcement officers conduct water quality testing through professional equipment. How can ordinary consumers determine whether the water in a swimming pool is qualified? Next, I will teach you two small tricks.

After entering the swimming pool, consumers can distinguish the quality of water by observing the clarity of the pool water.
Feng Jingnan, the head of the Supervision and Law Enforcement Department of the Xicheng District Health Supervision Institute in Beijing: We can gently bend down and observe the condition of the underwater swimming lane through the water surface. If viewed further, it indicates a better clarity of the swimming pool. If the turbidity exceeds the standard, it cannot be seen that far.

In addition, consumers can also judge the disinfection effect by observing the residual chlorine in the swimming pool water.
Feng Jingnan, Chief of the First Supervision and Law Enforcement Section of the Xicheng District Health Supervision Institute in Beijing: You can splash the water in the swimming pool. If you find that the foam generated by the splash can dissipate itself in 10-15 seconds, it indicates that the water quality has strong redox capacity. That is to say, its disinfection ability, including water quality safety, is very good. If the foam is still floating on the water for one minute or even several minutes, it proves that the residual chlorine concentration and redox capacity may need to be improved.

In addition, experts said that summer is the season of high incidence of infectious diseases such as conjunctivitis and keratitis. The main purpose of monitoring the water quality of swimming pools is to avoid spreading bacteria and viruses through the water in swimming pools. Apart from washing hands frequently, do not rub your eyes; When swimming, it is important to wear swimming goggles and avoid sharing towels with others. These measures can effectively prevent conjunctivitis caused by swimming. For possible otitis media caused by swimming, experts suggest that once water enters the ear, you can tilt your head to the side of the water inlet and use a one foot jump to allow the water to flow out naturally. Do not use your hands or other objects to pick it up. To prevent water from flowing into the ears, it is best to wear earplugs when swimming. Additionally, if you experience ear pain after swimming, seek medical attention promptly.
