Use of antimicrobials for
biological control in the treatment of swimming pool and spa waters is familiar
to most recreational users. Introduction of organic skin contaminants and
wind-borne bioforms are unavoidable in both outdoor and indoor units.
Microbial growth, while
encouraged by sunlight, still can occur in the indoor environment. Every
pool owner knows the consequences of inadequate antimicrobial treatment,
which results in various colors and odors caused by biological contamination
of the water. Proper pool treatment benefits range from lowered risk of
disease to increased aesthetics for total recreational enjoyment.
