Swimming pools can be the best summer thing to do. No other summer activity can beat the summer vibe that a pool full of sparkling blue water possesses. Whether you plan to have an early evening pool party with your college amigos or you are just looking forward to a nice and quiet afternoon with just you and your swimming pool, it is never disappointing.
However, one thing that can drain the fun out of all these pool activities is the temperature of the water in the pool. A little too chilling pool water can make you catch a cold by the time your evening pool party finishes. And this discomfort can be avoided with a simple little device, the pool thermometer. Below are a few things that will get you acquainted with the importance of having a pool thermometer if you are a swimming pool owner.
Prevent Unwelcomed Health Issues
How would you like it if you finally decided to start swimming every morning for better health and you fall sick the very first day because the water in your pool was bitterly cold? So maintaining an optimum temperature in your pool is not only about the leisure, but also about the health of the swimmer.
The ideal pool temperatures are around 76-82 degrees Fahrenheit, and any extreme changes in that range can put you at serious health risks. Not only fever or a congested nose but if people with weak heart muscles subject their bodies to very cold water, they put themselves at risk of getting a cardiac arrest. However, if you make sure to monitor your pool water’s temperature before getting in, it might save you from all the terrible health issues.
Keep The Pool Water Clean
The temperature of the water in the pool has a vital role to play in the cleanliness of the pool. As all the pool owners are well aware of the chlorine application that’s done to keep the pool hygiene in check, but the chlorine needs optimal water temperature to be able to accomplish its task correctly.
Warmer water tends to expedite the dissolution of the chlorine leading to the inefficient killing of bacteria and other germs in the water. Similarly, chilling waters can slow down the formation of chlorine salt, again altering the germ-killing mechanism of the chlorine. So regularly checking and maintaining your pool water temperature is imperative to your health.
