Private pools are an essential requirement in any villa with a plot, and when you own one you have to take into account a series of guidelines and factors for proper maintenance.

The most important step in pool maintenance is controlling the pH of the water. For the chlorine to disinfect the water, it is necessary that the values ​​are regular and that the pH level always is between 7.2 and 7.6, as it shows us the acidity or alkalinity of the water. This is necessary to avoid possible allergic reactions or irritations in the skin during bathing.
