Public Health Overview
Pool and aquatics operators and public health officials are under constant pressure to ensure the safety of our public pool water. It’s no wonder when you consider the responsibility. Swimming is the second most popular sport in the United States among all age groups and there are approximately 360,000 large public pools in the U.S. that support this popular activity. The problem is, swimming venues are essentially communal baths where Recreational Water Illnesses (RWIs) are easily and increasingly spread. Not to mention, the chemical we rely upon most – chlorine -- is under increasing fire for unwanted chlorine byproduct side effects and the potential for cancer risk from chlorine exposure.
There is an enormous task at hand to protect the public from communicable diseases and other health hazards associated with commercial pools and hot tubs, public aquatics facilities, water parks, and other venues.
Thankfully, technologies currently exist to help provide a safe and healthy aquatic experience to all swimmers. Understanding the problem will help you understand why DEL Ozone is well positioned to provide a solution to water quality issues that affect public health. Understanding the science and safety behind ozone and recognizing the role of the Model Aquatic Health Code will enable pool operators and public health officials to confidently rely upon and recommend ozone.
