A swimming pool on a site is considered not only a great place for relaxation and entertainment, but also a valuable source of water.
Many gardeners wonder if they can use pool water to water their plants.
Chlorine and other chemical levels
Before using pool water for irrigation, it is necessary to consider the content of chlorine and other chemicals.
Chlorine is used to disinfect pool water and can be harmful to plants.
High levels of chlorine can cause burns and damage to plants. Therefore, it is recommended to reduce the chlorine level to safe values before using water for irrigation.
The effect of salt on soil and plants
Another factor to consider is the salt content of your pool water.
Due to the ability of salts to accumulate in the soil, there is a risk of oversaturation with salts, which can adversely affect the growth and development of plants.
For this reason, it is recommended to periodically check the soil condition and monitor the salt level, especially if you are using pool water for irrigation.
Potential risks to plants and the environment
It is important to consider the potential risks to plants and the environment when using pool water for irrigation.
Chemicals in water can negatively affect plant health and cause soil and groundwater contamination.
Therefore, it is recommended to take measures to neutralize water and eliminate possible risks.
