Everybody loves a swimming pool but nobody wants to become ill from the experience.
The disinfectant dosing system has to keep control of bacterial counts which happily feast on our perspiration, dead skin/hair, soap, shampoo, cosmetics, plus babies have accidents and little boys do what little boys do.
Operators are legally required to protect the health and safety of workers and pool users.
Part of their duty of care includes microbiological testing which must be undertaken each month for:
- TVC @ 37°C
- E.coli
- Coliforms
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Most operators check their Swimming Pool and Showers for Legionella every 3 months.
