These warm water pools are designed for aquatic physiotherapy treatment and rehabilitation. They are used to treat people post injury, surgery, or for medical condition management.
The pool users are generally in a higher risk group that the general population and can be more susceptible to infection.
Hydrotherapy pools also have a far higher incidence of contamination so the dosing and filtration equipment should have a higher specification too.
The type of microbiological testing required is the same as swimming pools but the frequency is weekly rather than monthly.
