Unfortunately, it can be quite a difficult task at times, requiring daily testing to check water chemical levels in the pool, and frequent adjustments so that the chemicals stay in the acceptable range.

What is pool biofilm, and how do you get rid of it? Pool biofilm is a community of microorganisms that attaches to wet surfaces and becomes enclosed in a protective matrix.
