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

10. Objective
 Keep Water Sparkling Clear
 Keep Water Free From Pathogenic (Harmful) Bacteria & Viruses.
 Keep Water Chemically Safe & Balances.
 Keep Water Free From Algae.
 Ensure Water Is Neither Toxic Nor Irritant To Swimmers.
 Prevent Undesired Odor Or Taste.
 Prevent Pool, fixtures & Equipment from Scaling & Corrosion.
 Safe Disposal Of effluents.
 Energy & Water Efficiency & Conservation.

11. Objective - Design Consultant

12. Swimming Pool Water Treatment – Guidelines | Code
 National
 International / Global

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.

14. International Guideline & Standards:
• 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

15. Consultant | Implementation | Operation | Maintenance - Qualification
