Abstract
Recent reports in the literature relate to the identification of various substances in the pool water, including low-molecular weight pharmaceuticals that can react with chlorine residues contributing to the formation of a large group of irritant and toxic compounds. These substances are not covered by standard monitoring. As part of this work, the authors present information on the methods for assessing the quality of the swimming pool water. Common processes used in swimming pool water treatment systems were described. Previous experience of the authors in the use of a detailed assessment of the quality of the swimming pool water on the basis of toxicity tests was presented. The authors have researched the application of pressure driven membrane filtration for the improvement of the efficiency of the swimming pool water treatment.
Highlights
The latest literature reports on the identification of various low-molecular substances, including the pharmaceutical ones, in swimming pool water [1]
This paper presents information on the methods used for the assessment of the quality of swimming pool water and the types of processes that are used in swimming pool water treatment systems
The authors researched the use of pressure membrane filtration and determined if it can improve the effectiveness of a swimming pool water treatment process
Summary
The latest literature reports on the identification of various low-molecular substances, including the pharmaceutical ones, in swimming pool water [1]. These compounds may react with chlorine residuals, leading to the creation of a large group of irritative and toxic compounds. Swimming pool water is commonly treated by coagulation, filtration and disinfection processes [1,2,3]. The authors' past experience in using various toxicity tests for detailed swimming pool water quality assessments was demonstrated. The authors researched the use of pressure membrane filtration (ultrafiltration) and determined if it can improve the effectiveness of a swimming pool water treatment process
