The Quality of Swimming
Pool Water is governed by the German Federal Communicable
Diseases Act
In accordance with Article
11 of the German Federal Communicable Diseases Act
swimming
pool water in municipal pools or commercial enterprises
must be of such a quality that damage to human health
by pathogens is prevented.
To meet this requirement treatment and disinfection of
the pool water is necessary. As disinfectants chlorine
and chlorine compounds are used. Their concentration in
swimming pool water must not present a health hazard to
the bathers and the operating personnel.
