Swimming Pools

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.
