The joy of the bathing season is great. Especially with children. You fill the pool with water, add all the chemicals to improve the quality of the water, and then this… The next morning, the water is a brown mess.
Whoever has a garden often also has a well. It's also much cheaper than constantly using the drinking water from the local supplier to water and fill the pool. But what many people don't know is that well water contains a lot of iron. In connection with the chlorine, the iron oxidizes and settles as a brown layer on the ground. The video clip shows you what helps now. Namely vitamin C. Due to the ascorbic acid it contains, the water quickly becomes clear again. Vitamin C in powder form is available in pharmacies or online for about 10 euros.
Did you know?
Well water is more susceptible to algae than tap water. This is because well water has a lower oxygen content. You can avoid algae in the pool by:
- Add anti-algae agent to the pool water
- Add chlorine
- clean the filter regularly
- supply fresh water regularly
- cover the pool (algae love sunlight)
