A swimming pool needs good circulation for several key reasons, all of which contribute to a clean, healthy, and enjoyable swimming environment:

Filtration: Circulation is essential for moving water through the filter. The filter removes debris, dirt, and other impurities from the water. Without proper circulation, the water would remain stagnant, and the filter wouldn't be able to do its job effectively.
Chemical Distribution: Pool chemicals, like chlorine and algaecides, need to be evenly distributed throughout the pool to work effectively. Good circulation ensures that these chemicals are mixed thoroughly, preventing areas of high or low concentration that can be irritating to swimmers or ineffective in controlling algae and bacteria.
Preventing Algae and Bacteria Growth: Stagnant water is a breeding ground for algae and bacteria. Circulation helps to prevent this by keeping the water moving and ensuring that sanitizers are distributed throughout the pool.
Even Heat Distribution: If you have a heated pool, circulation helps to distribute the heat evenly, preventing hot and cold spots.
Surface Cleaning: Circulation helps to move surface debris, like leaves and insects, towards the skimmer, where they can be removed.
In essence, good circulation is the key to maintaining a clean, healthy, and comfortable swimming pool. It ensures that the water is filtered, sanitized, and evenly heated, preventing the growth of algae and bacteria and providing a pleasant swimming experience.
