Dirty Swimming Pool?

Dirty Swimming Pool Issues?

There are approximately 15 to 20 disease outbreaks each year that are due to dirty pools; including stomach bugs and diarrhea, Giardia, E. coli, cryptosporidium (crypto) parasites, gastroenteritis and ear, eye, skin and chest infections.  These are all issues of a dirty swimming pool.

• Your pool water should be clear, you should be able to see all the way to the bottom. If you cannot, your pool may have a high algae content and may be unsafe for swimming.
• If there is a very strong ‘pool smell’ to your pool, it actually means that it is unclean. That strong chlorine smell does not mean it is clean it can actually mean the exact opposite and it is activating the chlorine response.
• If the swimming pool’s walls are slimy, there may be a high concentration of germs.

Simple precautions can keep pools clean. These include showering before and after swimming and not swimming if you’ve had diarrhea. Also, avoid swallowing pool water.

Get further advice about swimming pool hygiene from pool chemical suppliers or pool maintenance companies, public swimming pool staff, or your local council.
