Swimming pools get new code
Following an initiative by the Pool Water Treatment Advisory Group (PWTAG), swimming pools in the UK will be able to carry a plaque certifying that they conform to a code of practise.
Developed in association with the British Standards Institution, the code covers the management of hydraulics, filtration, disinfection, monitoring and a range of other requirements for properly maintaining a pool.
The code is based on PWTAG’s book, Swimming Pool Water, the group having sponsored the work needed to turn it into a Publicly Available Specification (PAS 39) published by the BSI earlier this year.
Since then, PWTAG has been working with the Institute of Sport & Recreation Management (ISRM) in order to set up a system for assessing pools. ISRM will charge £690 plus VAT for an assessment, with pools being able to display the new plaque for two years.
