Why water treatment? Any
exercise performed in water for therapeutic purposes should not pose a
health risk for the bather. For swimming pools of all types therefore,
the water must be crystal-clear and hygienically pure! The
contaminating materials that get into the water through use of the pool
and environmental influences must be removed by suitable circuit
filtration and flow control (covering all areas of the pool).
Disinfection of the water is also essential. Disinfectants successfully
used in private swimming pool include halogens, usually chlorine and
bromide, which not only kill off germs, but also react with and oxidise
other contaminating organic materials. This frequently results in the
adverse reputation of chlorine, although this is unjustified, because
oxidation of such organic constituents is essential, and also increases
the cleaning performance of the filtration system. The
most important feature of water treatment is that high-performance
filtration should clean the water naturally to such an extent that the
optimum disinfection result can be achieved with the minimum use of
chemicals. It is not even the "free chlorine" that is responsible for
the often criticised, unpleasant chlorine smell (irritation of the
mucous membranes), but rather the large quantity of oxidised organic
constituents (chlorine addition products = bonded chlorine). The
quantity of such organic constituents brought into the pool by bathers
in private swimming pools, which normally have a low usage level, is
quite low in relation to the water volume, so that the filtration
performance of a normal fine-sand filter without previous flocculation
is quite sufficient in order to keep the quantity of this undesirable
"bonded chlorine" within acceptable limits. In case of heavier
contamination, a noticeably improved filtration effect can be achieved
by the use of the JUDO LIBELLE-MULTI multi-layer filter system. In
addition to the greater height of the filter material layers (which
increases the time the water remains in the filter bed), this is due
above all to the absorbent properties of the filter material itself,
which reduce the chlorinated impurities. In case of very high dirt
contamination, a filtering aid (flocculation) can be dosed in before
the JUDO LIBELLE-MULTI multi-layer filter, which increases the
filtration intensity even further; a technique that for many years has
been indispensable in heavily used public swimming pools, and is used
with great success.
