Zhu Guangquan: First of all, we can look at it with our eyes. If the water quality is excellent, the pool paved with white tiles will show bright light blue. There are also some swimming pools laid light blue tiles, while the pool water will show a dark blue effect. If the pond water is white and slightly turbid, it cannot be clear, it is likely that the bacteria exceeds the standard. Secondly, we can also smell it with nose. If you can smell the smell of chlorine gas near the water, the water quality is qualified; if the taste is too strong, even if it is stubborn, it is likely that the disinfection agent exceeds the standard and will cause damage to the respiratory tract and skin.
