As the swimming pool industry develops, more swimming halls, gyms with pools, and similar facilities are becoming part of everyday life. But what preparations are necessary before opening a commercial swimming pool?
Since the swimming pool business is a service industry, providing a better experience for customers is essential. Below are key items and disinfectants necessary for a new swimming pool.
Pool Water Disinfection
To keep a pool running smoothly, maintaining clean water is the first priority. You must disinfect the water regularly using a pool disinfectant. It's also important to control water cleanliness, comfort, and prevent algae growth. Generally, the following chemicals are needed for daily pool maintenance.
Disinfectant: Trichloro [trichloroisochloruric acid (TIC)], usually available in tablet or powder form.
Algaecide: Generally use Cupric sulfate (for public swimming pools) and specialized Algaecides (for private swimming pools).
pH Regulator: Sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate to adjust pH levels.
Flocculant: Generally use polymeric aluminum chloride (need to be absorbent) or clarifying agent (with filtration equipment, no need to adsorbent).
Test Kit: Generally use a 2-in-1 test kit.
Pool Cleaning Tools
In addition to these chemicals, you'll need cleaning tools. Some essential pool cleaning equipment includes:
- Vacuum cleaner: Used to suck away the dirt on the bottom of the swimming pool and the sediment after adding flocculant (polymeric aluminum chloride).
- Leaf skimmer: Available in deep leaf skimmer and shallow leaf skimmer, used to remove leaves and large debris.
- Pool brush: Available in plastic brushes or stainless steel brushes options. General swimming pool with plastic brush can be used, mainly wash the wall and bottom of the pool.
Pool Safety Equipment
While cleaning and maintaining water quality, safety is also a top priority. As a pool operator, ensuring swimmer safety is crucial. Most pools should be equipped with the following safety gear:
- Rescue chair: (2-3 m high for lifeguards to get an overall preview of the pool)
- Life buoys: (Foam type or inflatable type)
These items are essential for the proper operation of a swimming pool. If you want to create a more comfortable and enjoyable experience, consider adding leisure and competition equipment:
- Leisure items: Beach chairs, backrest chairs, round tables, coffee tables, sun umbrellas, etc.
- Competition supplies: Lane lines, water polo equipment, etc.
Providing customers with the best swimming experience requires more than just building a pool. Proper daily maintenance is just as important. Thorough preparation before opening will ensure smooth and safe operation from day one.
