But, it also changes the PH level of the water. The PH level is an important indicator of whether a swimming pool has too much or too little acidity.<\/p><p>If the PH level of a swimming pool is too high, the water will be very alkaline. This makes it hard for your skin to absorb calcium and magnesium, essential minerals for healthy bones.<\/p><p>If the PH level is too low, the water won&#8217;t have enough acidity to break down the dirt and debris collected at the tank&#8217;s bottom.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9e6c06a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9e6c06a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8ddc15c\" data-id=\"8ddc15c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-590c806 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"590c806\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">6.
