Recreational Water Illnesses(RWI), originate from swimming pools, hot tubs, water parks and other man-made water features. They are 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. Chlorine is added to water in swimming pools and other water bodies to control algae growth, get rid of insect larvae and kill harmful bacteria, viruses and pathogens. Chlorination keeps swimming pools, water parks, fountains and other water recreational areas clean by disinfection. It also helps prevent the occurrence and spread of RWIs.
What can Pristine Water do for your Fountain, Swimming Pools, Water Parks and Water Play Areas?
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 area, but the spray water rinses all contaminants from the surrounding area into the water holding area. The infected water is recycled through the system. Pristine Water Electrochlorinator generates liquid chlorine or sodium hypochlorite from salt, water and electricity. 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.
Fountains and water features that are not chlorinated and filtered suffer from algae growth, bad odour, and chocked nozzles. Pristine Water Electrochlorination system is the best solution to produce the required sodium hypochlorite onsite and dose it in your fountains and water features to keep it fresh and clean.
