Minimize Risking your Health with Pool Management Companies
Swimming is an excellent form of exercise, but it too has its downside. Even after numerous attempts of disinfecting the pool some bacteria may still lurk in water. The disinfected pool might lead to various health hazards. Swimming in chlorinated pools might increase the risk of developing asthma, respiratory problems, illness and hay fever. According to research, disinfectant by-products formed with chlorinated water if mixed with cosmetics, microorganisms, body fluids, or sunscreen can damage your DNA and increase risk of cancer. This sounds rather alarming, right? This is where pool management companies play a vital role.
Pool management companies helps in disinfecting swimming pools and lowering health risks. A swimming pool full of human is liable to contain germs or bacteria. Water may also be tainted by other sources such as dead organisms, organic material derived from decaying leaves, bird droppings or fungi-infested rainwater. Several aquatic technology such as ultraviolet radiation, copper-silver ionization and chlorination is used by Pool Management companies to disinfect water. Ultraviolet Radiation: - Ultraviolet sanitizers use a cuttingedge technology. This is a non-chemical process that uses germicidal UV light rays to sanitize water, the surface of the pool and air that is contaminated. Ultraviolet pool sanitizers radiate germicidal light rays with high intensity. This Germicidal light disrupts the DNA or RNA of bacteria. Ultraviolet sanitizer also uses highly concentrated electromagnetic energy that destroys organic matter which eliminates the formation of dangerous chlorine. Copper-Silver Ionization: - Metals such as copper and silver can be used for water disinfection if they are ionized. In this process, copper and silver ions and nanoparticles are released in water. The ions bond with negatively charged area on the microorganism’s walls affects the wall of permeability and minimizes the intake of life-sustaining nutrients which blocks the bacterial reproductive processes which further leads to their death. The greatest benefit of copper-silver ionization is that they remain active in water for a long period of time and protect it against recontamination. Chlorination: - This is one of the most common method used to disinfect swimming pools. In this process, chlorine solution is used to kill bacteria through a fairly simple chemical reaction by pouring it into the water. The water then breaks down into many different chemicals such as hypochlorite and hypochlorous acid. Both these acid kills bacteria microorganisms by attacking the lipids in the cell walls. The enzymes inside the cell, are also destroyed rendering them oxidized and harmless.
