Tipton Pool contractors address skin sensitivity for swimmers
Once you’ve gotten out of the swimming pool does your skin feel dry and itchy? Are your eyes red? Does your skin feel “tight”? If this is the case for you or anyone who uses your pool you could be suffering skin sensitivity and it could be the result of incorrect chemical levels in your swimming pool water.
Talk with your swimming pool contractor from Tipton Pools if this is happening to you and your skin. It is likely an easy fix for an experienced swimming pool service professional. The fact of life when you own a swimming 
pool is tht you will have to keep it clean and unless you’re using a salt chlorination system you will use the typical chlorine mix of chemicals to keep the pool water free of bacteria and algae. Because you can’t stop using chemicals, you will need to have your pool contractor make adjustments so you can have a more enjoyable time when you’re swimming.
You will need to tell your contractor if you’re experiencing any skin sensitivity issues so he can check whether the pool’s pH and alkalinity are in the correct ranges. Balances that are too low or too high — can cause skin irritation and eye redness. Your contractor will use a test kit to measure the balances but you may want to do it between service visits as well.
Following the water chemistry testing, your contractor may need to level out the chlorine as this, too can lead to eye and skin irritation. Don’t fall prey to the myth that a strong chlorine odor and eye irritation is caused by too much chlorine because “free chlorine” has no taste or odor and when this interacts with bacteria, ammonia, or other waste products it is changed into combined chlorine or chloramines. Ammonia is released into the water from body waste and sweat. Combined chlorine – free chlorine and ammonia — has a strong odor and causes skin irritation and eye redness. There should be no combined chlorine in your pool water. Combined chlorine will prevent the chlorine from doing what it is supposed to. Again, this is something your pool contractor will check for you.
Working with a swimming pool service contractor, whose job is to make certain your pool is safe and clean is certainly a viable option. Pool professionals have the knowledge, skill and experience to make your pool experience an enjoyable one!
