Abstract
Swimming pools are water facilities intended for sport and leisure that promote physical and mental health, promoting an active and healthy lifestyle. To safely enjoy its benefits safely and prevent infections, it is essential to keep the water in optimal conditions. This is possible thanks to chemical methods and the control of various quality parameters using simple kits, which are described from an didactic and informative perspective.
