Next Time when you
go for swimming or think
about swimming pool ... |

Check Points :
What is the pool filtration technique,
duration of filtration & backwash frequency ?
What is the filtration turnover time with respect to pool volume
& depth?
Clarity of pool water & odor (freshness) from pool?
What is the permitted bather load per session with respect to
pool surface area?
Is Chlorine & Chlorine derivatives used for pool water
disinfection?
What is the Chlorine dose & free residual chlorine in the pool?
Ozonation used for swimming pool water treatment?
Importantly – Which standard/Guideline is followed for swimming
pool water treatment.
Swimming pool water is contaminated by swimmers
and environmental pollutants, which are in suspended & dissolved
state
Sweat, Spitting, Nasal & pharyngeal products
Skin, hair, dandruffs
Skin Diseases & Infections
Cosmetics & Medications
Urine & Fecal matter
Bird droppings
Leaves & vegetation
Algae, Biomass,
Micro Insects, worms
Water-borne chemicals, foul/chemical odor
Dirt & Debris
Various types of bacteria and viruses can develop in the pool
water making it un-safe for swimmers. Studies shows an adult
swallow around 100 ml of pool water per swimming session &
children swallow around 300 ml.
The large water volumes involved, do not permit disposal of pool
water.
Swimming pool water has therefore to be treated
continually, to make it safe for swimmers.
This Involves
Filtration of suspended impurities
Disinfection of Water from micro-organisms & infections
Chemically Balancing of Ph, alkalinity, TDS, Disinfectant
byproducts
Oxidize the organic impurities |
|

|
 Pool Water Filtration & Ozonation Plant |
 |
|
It makes pool water very safe for swimmers &
especially children. Research shows that most people & children
intake around 100 – 300 ml of water, while swimming. The
technology used to make swimmers free from skin rashes, eye
rending, hair fall, cloudy appearance of the pool water, foul &
chemical odor
 |
|
 |
|
The treatment scheme involves – I level of disinfections in balancing tank with ozone contactor, micro flocculation using poly-electrolyte dozing with ozone, vertical in line re-circulation pumps, multi grade pressure sand filter, side stream or main stream ventury
ozone injection with ozone mixing tank, residual ozone
destruction, ph correction.

Objective of Pool Water Treatment : |
|
Sparkling, crystal Clear & fresh Water
Free from microbiological contamination & infection .
Chemically balanced with minimal chemical contaminations &
byproducts
Keep Swimming pool water bacterio-static & free from germs.
Absolutely safe & hygienic to swimmers hair, eyes & skin. |

Swimming pools are classified as : |
| Private: |
Public : |
Competition / Diving Pools : |
|
Pools which are owned & used by single
family occasionally with friends & relatives. Pool size
can be from 20 m³ to 150 m³. Pools which are in the
compound, back yard, basement, terrace, weekend
bungalows, farm house etc. |
Pools having capacities
from 150 m³ to 1,000 m³ liters are used by many swimmers
at a time.
These pools are further divided into two, one which are
sparingly used in hotels, holiday resorts, cooperates,
small townships, residential complexes, schools,
universities etc.
Others which are daily used by members like sports
clubs, recreational clubs, municipalities etc. |
Pools which are used for
local, national & international competitions are of

m³ to 6,000 m³
