The Chemistry of Swimming Pool Maintenance
Carl Salter and David L. Langhus
Department of Chemistry, Moravian College, Bethlehem, PA 18018
Cover
July 2007
Vol. 84 No. 7
p. 1124
Abstract
Swimming pool maintenance is an interesting chemical application that is appropriate for discussion in general chemistry courses. This paper examines the key ideas behind swimming pool chemistry—the central importance of pH and its effect on chlorine sanitation and calcium carbonate solubility. The paper also reviews the analytical procedures used to monitor pool chemistry and common practices that either keep pool chemistry under control or correct problems.
Supplement
An annotated bibliography of swimming pool chemistry resources is available.
