Gold Coast Weather - How it may affect your pool

In our article What causes my pool to go green? -:
The green colour in your pool is algae, which contains the green pigment chlorophyll (conversely it is the green colour reflected).
Hence the more algae your pool contains the greener your pool appears.
Algae growth is normally prevented by a sanitiser, usually chlorine. Chlorine sanitises your pool by oxidising contaminants. Oxidising is the process of changing the chemical structure of water contaminants.

When chlorine reacts with these contaminants, it gets "used up" and turns into combined chlorine (chloramines), which are less effective and cause that strong "chlorine smell."

In our article How does rain effect swimming pool water -:
Rain almost immediately causes the pH (Potential Hydrogen) in the pool water to rise.
As pH goes up, the ability of chlorine to kill germs goes down.
