Is Your Swimming Pool As Clean As You Think?

Friday, December 25th, 2009

If you have been lucky enough to own a swimming poool. You will know the importance of having a filtration system within your pool.

All swimming pools need to include a filter. Because it’s very important to have a working filter in your swimming pool. You should always ensure that it is working, if your filter system breaks down without you knowing, your pool could soon become dangerous to use and maybe even deadly.

The first sign that your filter has stopped working is that dirt will begin to collect at the bottom of the pool, this is because the pool is not being cleaned by the filter, maybe not dangerous or life threatening, but certainly not fun to swim in.

The biggest reason why your filter system should always stay active is to circulate the pool chemicals, such as chlorine. If your filter system stops working, the chemicals within your pool can stop circulating, this means that they can collect in the pool, making it cloudy to view. However, cloudy water wouldn’t be your only worry, because the amount of chlorine has risen, it becomes very dangerous and potentially deadly.

Because chlorine is designed to kill bacteria, if it’s in high concentration, it can become poisonous and can damage your skin.

So, as you can see, keeping your pool filter working can be life saving, however, if you have a pool filter or are going to get one, ensure that you have a cover on the filter. If you don’t then this too can prove to be a death trap. If a person gets sucked into the filter, it can seriously injure or even kill due to the force of the filter.

These are just a few tips that you should follow to ensure that your pool is safe to use.

Pool Chemicals – Danger

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

Swimming pool water treatment is necessary in order to ensure that pool water is free from Algae and other nasty microbiological contaminants. Untreated water can result in disease producing microorganisms causing nasty and often dangerous infections.

Contaminants can get into the pool water from a number of sources. It is vitally important that swimming pool water is regularly tested and treated to ensure that it is safe for bathing. Unfortunately the Pool Chemicals that are used to treat pools present a few hazards of their own.

There are a number of well documented cases of incidents involving swimming pool chemicals. There have been a number of cases of fire, smoke and vapours created as a result of swimming pool chemicals becoming mixed. There have even been cases of explosions caused by incorrect disposal of pool chemicals and there are numerous cases of personal injury caused by pool chemicals.

One common injury arises as a result of people inhaling fumes when opening a container of pool chemicals for the first time. Another common cause of injury has been when people have attempted to pre-dissolve the chemicals in a small amount of water. One of the most common causes of injury occurs as a result of people splashing themselves or having chemicals splash into their eyes.

While pool chemicals perform an important function in making swimming pool water safe to use they are clearly hazardous to handle. And they must be applied in the correct dose to ensure that bathers are not injured.

Some pool chemicals are very volatile and highly reactive, capable of generating very high temperatures and toxic, hazardous fumes. Reactivity can be triggered by wetting the chemicals or mixing with other pool chemicals. Some are even time sensitive and can become reactive simply due to their age.

Under normal conditions most swimming pool chemicals are intended to be added to very large quantities of water. If a small amount of water gets mixed with some pool chemicals an unwanted reaction can occur resulting in heat and the release of very toxic vapours. Even a small amount of water can cause a very serious reaction. This is why it is imperative that swimming pool chemicals are stored carefully.

Another common circumstance in which pool chemicals can become hazardous is when they are mixed. Most swimming pool chemicals are actually incompatible with one another. Mixing incompatible chemicals will potentially result in a reaction that can produce high temperatures that can even ignite combustible materials. Mixing problems of this type have even occurred when new chemicals are mixed with old of exactly the same type.

Clearly the handling and use of swimming pool chemicals needs to be treated with caution. There has been an explosion in the installation of easy set above ground swimming pools in gardens and yards. This means that many people are coming into contact with pool chemicals for the first time when they treat the water in their new Intext pools. If you are a new pool owner with no experience in handling and using swimming pool Pool Chemicals it is recommended that you take some advice from professionals who will guide you in the choice of appropriate chemicals, how to flush your pool pump and filtration system and and how to safely treat your pool water.

Ionic Air Purifiers – Safety Takes Priority

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Safety assumes top priority in the selection of an ionic air purifier for use in the home, office, factory or school.

Existing ionic air purifier technology, regardless of whether they originate in North America, Europe, Japan or China produce a primary beneficial reactive agent. These reactive agents may be negative ions, bipolar ions, plasmacluster ions and so on. They are produced with the objective of eliminating contaminants in the air we breathe. There is much research on the efficacy of these reactive agents in destroying contaminants. What we do not know is whether these same potent reactive agents also cause harm to delicate human tissues such as those that line our breathing passages from the trachea to the lungs.

Whether by design or otherwise, there is also an information void about whether there are other by-products and if these are harmful to fragile human tissues as well. In the industry, however, it is known that current ionic air purifier technology inadvertently results in the production of by-products. In sufficient quantities, these may prove harmful to human tissue. One of the main by-products is the infamous ozone, which in high concentrations has been tested to be harmful to human tissues.

In the light of the above, the issue of safety for the user of an ionic air purifier has to be addressed from these two perspectives:

(1) Potential harm from the beneficial reactive agents, and

(2) Potential harm from the unintended by-products.

Our intensive though by no means exhaustive research on these two perspectives have been condensed into two detailed write-ups that are featured on Ezinearticles.com.

Ionic Air Purifiers – User Safety Tops All Criteria

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

Safety tops all criteria in the selection of an ionic air purifier for use in the home, office, factory or school.

Existing ionic air purifier technology, regardless of whether they originate in North America, Europe, Japan or China produce a primary beneficial reactive agent.These reactive agents are known variously by names like negative ions, bipolar ions, plasmacluster ions and so on. Their main role is to eliminate airborne contaminants in our indoor living environment. Much has been published on the efficacy of these reactive agents in eliminating contaminants. What we do not know is whether these same potent reactive agents also cause harm to delicate human tissues such as those that line our breathing passages from the trachea to the lungs.

There is also an information vacuum about whether there are other by-products and if these are harmful to human tissues as well. However, in the industry, it is well established that current ionic air purifier technology inadvertently results in the production of by-products that may, in sufficient concentrations, prove harmful to human tissue. One of the main by-products is the infamous ozone, which in high concentrations has been tested to be harmful to human tissues.

Accordingly, for the ionic air purifier user, the issue of safety has to be addressed from these two perspectives:

(1) Potential harm from the beneficial reactive agents, and

(2) Potential harm from the unintended by-products.

We have done intensive web research on these two important perspectives. The reports are featured on Ezinearticles.com.
