WHY CONTROL HUMIDITY IN INDOOR SWIMMING POOLS?

Indoor swimming pools are very unique in their requirement of humidity control. Most people associate indoor pools with high humidity, stuffy air and steamy windows and walls. Condensation not only creates an aesthetic, comfort and health problem but also results in structural damage to the building in the long term. Relative humidity levels in an indoor swimming pool is likely to be much higher than normal as water evaporates from the surface of the pool.

Additionally, moisture is also drawn into the room from outdoor make-up air and from pool users or spectators. Also as the water in swimming pools is laden with chlorine or bromine disinfectants, when the water evaporates, the moisture is laden equally if not more with the chlorine or bromine. This highly corrosive moisture attacks almost everything it comes in contact with.

Types of Indoor swimming pools

• Residential pool or personal pool
• Condominium or common residential building p
• Recreational pool with Jacuzzi
• Olympic or sports pool
• Pool with fountains / artificial waves

TYPICAL HUMIDITY PROBLEMS IN INDOOR SWIMMING POOLS

• Uncomfortable humidity around the pool
• Condensation on the vents / glass panels / AC grills
• Strong and persistent smell of chlorine
• Increased maintenance costs
• Deterioration of windows / rotting away of wood
• Mold and mildew growth, fogginess
• Peeling paint, deteriorating motor joints, bricks, etc.
• Frequent accidents (slipping / falling) causing injuries because of wet floors.
• Costly interiors get corroded due to chlorine induced corrosion

DRY AIR SOLUTION FROM

The dehumidifying equipment installed not only needs to remove the evaporated moisture, but also the moisture from the fresh air as well as the people.

The problems in an indoor pool humidity control arise, when there is a single system to control temperature and humidity. Once the temperature in the pool area is maintained, the cooling system stops as it is driven by a thermostat.

With the switching off of the cooling equipment, the moisture removal also stops and the humidity levels starts rising due to the constant evaporation from the pool surface.
