Pollution and hygiene
Pollution is introduced almost continuously into the water of swimming pools and spas. Even the mains water that supplies them may contain substances that affect pool water quality. The main source of pollution is the bathers themselves.
Whatever the source of pollution, it should be dealt with by appropriate water treatment, including disinfection and the other process.
