Swimming pool water treatment

Types of swimming pools

There are various types of swimming pools. Swimming pools differ in function (tropical swimming pool, sauna), size and conditions such as water temperature, cleaning system and water disinfection mechanism. A division can be made in indoor and outdoor swimming pools.
There is a difference between swimming pools with a water recirculation system and swimming pools that undergo constant water refreshment. In circulation pools, the water is recicled from a water purification system. Part of the water is separated and carried away after treatment. The pool will be filled up with fresh water.
When a swimming pool has a continual flow, the water is continually refreshed. The water that is retreated from the pool is discharged into the sewer, or it will be transported to a water purification plant.
Most public swimming pools apply water recirculation.
