One of the largest and most neglected problems in biofilms swimming pool care. Form biofilms in all areas of the pool, and contain about 99% of bacteria in the pool. Chlorine and bromine can only do so much to remove and clean the biofilms because they only reach the upper layers. To effectively remove and prevent biofilm, there are several steps that need to be taken.

First things first let’s talk about how to form biofilms. Biofilm is mainly to find a place to grow, and that may in any or all parts of your pool, not only on the walls of your pool, but also all through your filter and piping. When the biofilm found a place to grow it began colonization. This is where bacteria begin to grow rapidly. Next comes the protection, the biofilm will begin issuing a protective coating which is resistant to most chemicals including chlorine and bromine. This layer is usually very slimy, and weight that make it difficult for chemicals to penetrate and kill bacteria to treat the core. When the protective layer is formed, the bacteria experienced rapid growth again. While chlorine and bromine will attack and kill the outer layer, inner layer continues to grow and multiply. Once the biofilm has reached significant proportions, began to break up separately, and re-distributes itself over your pond. Read the rest of this entry »
