The document outlines the classification of swimming pools into private, public, and water bodies, emphasizing their usage, capacity, and relevant guidelines for water treatment. It details the importance of maintaining water safety, addressing contaminants, and employing proper treatment methods, including ozonation. Furthermore, it discusses the roles of design consultants and suggests criteria for pool construction, maintenance, and compliance with national and international standards.

1. Why Do We Need

2. Pool Classification - Private
Used by single family & occasionally by relatives &
friends

& 50,000 – 300,000 ltrs

3. Pool Classification - Public
Used by more no. of users & are of different families
indoor or outdoor
Educational Institutes | Societies | Clubhouse | Corporate
| Hotels | Resorts | Sports Clubs | Water Parks |
Amusement Park| Municipalities | State Governments |

Standards
Capacities are 100,000 – 500,000 ltrs
& 375,000 – 3,000,000 ltrs

4. Pool Classification – Water Bodies, ponds & Fountains

7. Swimming Pool Water Contaminants
• Atmospheric Dust , Dirt, colloidal & Turbidity
• Bird droppings
• Algae, Leaves & vegetation
• Water-borne germs, insects
 Swimmers
 Environmen
t Pollutants
• Sweat, Nasal & Skin Infections
• Skin, Hair & Costume fibers
• Urine & Fecal matter
• Skin products, Cosmetics & Medications
 Chemicals
 Disinfectant By-products
• TDS, Water Balance & Disinfectant Chemicals

8. Swimming Pool Water Treatment
Various types of bacteria & viruses can develop in the pool water
making it un-safe for swimmers.
The large water volumes involved,
do not permit disposal of pool water.
Swimming pool water therefore has to be
Filtered, treated & chemically balanced continually to
make it safe for swimmers.

9. Scientific Facts, Research & Studies
• An average adult swallows about 100 – 150 ml & children about 200 – 250
ml of pool water per swimming session.
• During swimming session person sweats & urinate around 20 – 50 ml.
• Chlorine by-products are carcinogenic on long run.
• Clear looking water, may not be chemically & biologically safe.
• Use of Chlorine as primary disinfectant is discouraged/ban in most of the
European & developed countries .
• Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) has recommend not to use
chlorine in swimming pool & to use Ozone.
• Only one pool in INDIA is 100 % ozonated as per international standard &
guideline

13. National Guideline
• National : BIS – IS 3328 : 1993
– Unfortunately
– Does not have Public Swimming Pool Guidelines.
– Does not specify Swimming Pool Filtration technique, philosophy or methodology.
– Does not specify about use & methodology of Swimming Pool Water Ozonation.
– Does not specify Standard Operation Procedure (SOP) & Maintenance program (Corrective &
Preventive)
– Does not specify about Water Chemical Balance SOP & Chemical Dosages.
– Fortunately
 We have well drafted & time tested International Code , Standards & Guidelines
 We have well qualified & experienced agencies to Understand & Implement.

• International : NSW-HEALTH
- Public Swimming Pool & Spa Pool Guidelines
– Dept. Of Health, New South Wales – AUSTRALIA
• International : APVMA
– Australian Pesticides and
Veterinary Medicines Authority
• International : WHO
• European : German DIN: 19643 DIN
• FINA | Olympic Games
