Water disinfection is one of the
key treatment steps for all types of swimming pools,
either public or private. Efficient pool water
disinfection is essential for public pools. Swimming
pool water is contaminated by swimmers & environment
pollutants. Swimming pool pollutants can be divided
up into three groups: microorganisms, undissolved
pollutants & dissolved pollutant.
For many years, chlorine or bromine based chemicals
have been the standard disinfectants used in
swimming pool water treatment. However, studies have
proven that the use of these chemicals can have
public health consequences due to the formation of
reaction byproducts, mainly chlorinated organic
compounds and chloramines.
Chloramines are responsible for
eye, ear and throat irritation as well as the
presence of strong “chlorine” odour. Certain
viruses, amoebae and cysts are also not inactivated
at the chemical levels normally used for pool water
treatment.
