If you've had your pool for some time now, doubtless you understand the importance of some key chemicals in your pool - mainly pH and chlorine (or whatever other choice of sanitizing chemical you use). Although these two readings may be at the top of the list to maintain, there. One of the most important steps of swimming pool maintenance is learning to maintain your pool water's chemical balance.
Getting it right can help ensure that your pool water stays fresh and clean, and you can avoid common pool maintenance pitfalls. Not a chemistry buff? No worries. You don't have. Alkalinity is what neutralizes the acids in your swimming pool water, and alkalinity that's too high or too low can lead to a wide range of issues, from minor skin irritation to algae growth and cloudy water.
Alkalinity also directly affects your pool water's pH: If your pool's. Alkalinity in pools is an extremely important topic as it's what helps prevent sudden pH changes. Total alkalinity is a measure of alkaline substances in this case, ionic compounds, that act as buffers that resist pH change.

It is important to maintain secure fencing and a locked entrance around the pool and deck area to prevent access when adequate supervision is not available. Install self-closing and self-latching gates in the proper locations. Make sure no one swims alone. Never leave a child unattended in the water or pool area, and see that less experienced swimmers are always accompanied by a swimmer who has water life-saving skills.
The biggest myth surrounding saltwater pools is that they contain zero chlorine because the water comes from the sea. Saltwater pools don't even come close to seawater. In fact, they aren't even chlorine-free. Saltwater pools use a process called "electrolysis" to produce just enough chlorine to disinfect the water.

This was the 2nd pool service company I used and the difference is night and day for the same price. My new pool was getting quite dirty and stained on the bottom and now it is looking nice and clean. Very happy with my service and it’s been worry free every since I switched to Seven Shades of Blue.
