Physical Factors Include:

I.   Filtration

II.  Circulation & Turnover

III. Other Factors

The control of oily wastes left behind by the bathers and the general care for the appearance of pool walls, covers and equipment.

Each of these factors plays an important role that is all too often overlooked or considered unimportant when considering how much a pool will be enjoyed.

When faced with a pool problem, we have a tendency to immediately look into the water chemistry factors. Cloudy water, for example, causes us to question water chemistry when the problem may simply be due to a filtration issue. The management of the physical factors should be considered the first line of defense in the prevention of pool water problems.
