5. Do you have a chlorine or salt water pool?

We have a salt system called a Lectranator. In this process, salt is added to the pool water, but chlorine is still produced, so the answer is yes to both.

6. What is the temperature of the main pool?

The main pool is kept at 29.5 degrees Celsius.

7. Why is the pool water so cold?

Due to health regulations, a main pool should be maintained under 30 degrees Celsius. If our wading pool was separate from the main pool, we would be able to increase its temperature.

Another reason we can’t make the pool warmer than 29.5 degrees is because we need to find a happy medium for both the young children and the lane swimmers who would have a difficult time working out in warmer water.
