well, but only in case it has the same characteristic as those of the public water. As a matter of fact,

To ensure a longer useful life to the cell, avoid excessively hard water that provokes calcium or
magnesium carbonate fouling. Use waters with a maximum hardness of 30°F.
Water characteristic are not fixed: they vary depending on natural (temperature, evaporation, number of
users, rain, wind, dust, soot) or artificial factors (treatment products). Its balance is quite complex, but
you will need to focus on just few steps to get clean and healthy water in your pool. There are many
ways to control water pool quality. Chlorine generator gives you the possibility to calculate an index, the
so-called Saturation Index. This index allows you to check water quality and to restore water balance if
needed (see section 2.3). The saturation Index depends on three factors: pH, alkalinity and hardness.
The first thing you have to know about your pool is its volume. To calculate the volume of your pool, follow

the formulas below depending on the shape of your pool:

A pool is the integration of hydraulic, mechanical, electrical and automation systems that form the treatment
system. This is necessary to maintain a good level of health and comfort, which in turn are indispensable
for a pleasant and correct use of the pool.
Pool water treatments ensure the chemical, physical and microbiological balance of the water. In a properly
built pool, recirculation and filtration systems clean the water, but they are not enough to avoid algae and
bacteria proliferation. To improve the action of the filters, chemical flocculating agents are added. These
flocculants gather the particles in bigger groups that can be easily caught by the filters. Normally, once the
pool is filled, it is preferable not to empty it, to ensure the chemical/physical qualities of the water through its
treatment instead. This includes recirculation, additives, filtration and disinfection.
