Swimming Pools
Are your standards high enough?
Swimming in pool water should be a healthy exercise. A clear, sparkling swimming pool without unpleasant smell or taste is the right of every swimmer and should be the objective of every manager and pool operator. Achieving this in practice can be fraught with difficulty. A multitude of physical, chemical and bacteriological states change constantly in a busy swimming pool.
Critical factors for change
- Human - Skin, throat & faecal bacteria, body oils, cosmetics, ammonia, & nitrogenous matter from sweat & urine, dirt, food, saliva & open infections.
- Environmental - Source water quality, physical & chemical composition of pool water, air & water temperatures, air quality & pollution, algae & fungi, gases formed from chemical reactions, humidity, sunlight & evaporation.
- Design, Construction & Operation - Pool bather capacity, loading, hydraulics, turnover, chemical conditioning, construction materials, disinfectants, coagulants, filtration, surface water draw off, filter cleansing, dilution, automatic control, testing & interpretation
