Recreational Water Illnesses(RWI), originate from swimming pools, hot tubs, water parks and other man-made water features. They also spread through freshwater ponds and lakes, and even in some saltwater environments. Bacteria that cause an RWI include cryptosporidium, giardia, Shigella, E. coli and norovirus. All these organisms thrive in non-chlorinated water. Exposure to an RWI can cause mild to severe diarrhoea, gastrointestinal distress and eye, ear and skin infections. Swimming pools require chlorine to be added to the water to control algae growth, get rid of insect larvae and kill harmful bacteria, viruses and pathogens and in turn protect from RWIs. Chlorination keeps swimming pools, water parks, fountains and other water recreational areas clean through disinfection.
Recreational water disinfection for Fountain, Swimming Pools, Water Parks and Water Play Areas?
Recreational water Disinfection
The most common RWI is diarrhoea. Swallowing water that has been contaminated with faeces containing germs can cause diarrheal illness. It may seem like there is no stagnant water in swimming pools or water play areas, but the spray water rinses all contaminants from the surrounding area into the water holding area. To disinfect, just generate liquid chlorine or sodium hypochlorite from salt, water and electricity on-site, using the Electrochlorination systems by Pristine Water. Dosing this chlorine in your swimming pools, fountains, water parks, water features will kill these bacteria and viruses and leave your pools, fountains or water parks safe and clean. It is very easy to use and perfect for leisure water disinfection as many establishments are located away from main cities and getting repeated supplies of disinfectants can be expensive and a hassle. Why buy chemicals again and again when you can make your own effective sodium hypochlorite and hypochlorous solution.
Algae Prevention
Unchlorinated and unfiltered fountains suffer from algae growth, bad odour, and choked nozzles. Pristine Water Electrochlorination system is the best solution to produce the required sodium hypochlorite on-site and dose it in your fountains and water features to keep it fresh and clean.
