Indoor Pool Air Quality.
By Design.
Chloramine problems won't fix themselves.
Most indoor pools struggle with air quality.
If your pool struggles with air quality, you're not alone. The pool smell commonly thought to be “chlorine” is actually caused by chloramines—byproducts created when chlorine reacts with contaminants in the water. These chloramines off-gas into the air, causing poor air quality.
Airborne chloramines cannot be managed by pool water systems; they must be addressed through the facility’s air handling systems. Many indoor pools, even when designed to ASHRAE 62.1 standards, still have inadequate air quality because chloramines are often overlooked or misunderstood in the design process. This leads to persistent health and comfort issues for swimmers, coaches and lifeguards.
Resolving these problems requires a thorough understanding of both water and air systems, and coordination between pool and HVAC professionals. We specialize in diagnosing and resolving chloramine and air quality issues in indoor pools. Our team has evaluated and improved air quality in over 350 facilities since 2012.
If you’re designing and building a new natatorium, or dealing with an existing natatorium experiencing corrosion, complaints, or air quality issues, perhaps we can help.
Rather than wasting money on temporary fixes (and hoping they work), we can visit your facility, identify the root causes, and deliver a targeted action plan in a detailed report. Then you can make informed decisions on how to proceed. Because chloramine problems won't solve themselves.
What we offer
For Existing Pools
We personally visit natatoriums around the world. We meet on site with facility owners/operators, local engineers and contractors, and walk through the issues and discuss how to resolve them. We then provide a detailed report, and ongoing assistance after the visit until the project is completed and the problems are gone.
For New Pools
We assist design teams to ensure air systems match the pool (and how it will be used). We are fluent in both water and air terminology, and serve to ensure communication is clear and everyone is on the same page. We provide design drafting and plan review, reducing the risk of overlooking important details.
