The Importance of Keeping Your Indoor Pool Condensation-Free

While having an outdoor pool is an option that many Australians tend to go with, indoor pools are almost as popular. The nice thing about having an indoor pool is that it can be used all year round, no matter the temperature or the weather. In addition to that, it creates a nice environment that is protected from the elements allowing furniture and decorations inside that usually would perish in the outdoor heat.

There is a downside to an indoor swimming pool though, and that’s the humidity. If you aren’t able to monitor and control the humidity inside your pool house or indoor pool area, then you could be opening yourself up to all kinds of problems.  

Talking About Indoor Humidity

Pools that are indoors and heated are prone to evaporation. This is where small amounts of the water in the pool evaporate up into the air. This then leads to having excess moisture in the air, giving you that clammy feeling. You would likely have experienced something similar if you had leaking pipes or damp in your walls.

If your indoor pool is completely enclosed or even mostly enclosed, then there’s a good chance you’ll need a dehumidifier. An indoor pool dehumidifier is specifically designed to deal with high moisture loads using large metal plates that are cooled, encouraging the water to condense on them, and then have them drip into a tray, and pumped away.

Most aquatic facilities require a humidity of between 40 and 60 percent. Anywhere above or below this could result in bacteria, mould and other fungi forming, polluting the air, and giving you problems. Below 40% humidity is also where an increased rate of evaporation occurs and having a humidity of above 60% encourages mould and mildew growth.

How to Control Humidity

Most people use an indoor pool dehumidifier as mentioned above. It’s a way to deal with excess moisture in your pool house or pool area. Should you have a rather large room, then having some kind of ventilation system may help too. In this scenario, the air that is moist from evaporation will then be replaced with air from the outside, keeping it fresh indoors.

Make sure that your indoor pool is looked after the right way.

The Importance of an Indoor Pool and Climate Control

Benefits of an Indoor Pool

It sounds like a pretty obvious question, right? Why would someone not want an indoor pool? You have access to a swimming pool at any time of the day or night, no matter the weather. You’re able to control the temperature with a pool climate control and there’s no need to have to weather-proof anything.

With any indoor pool though, there comes other aspects. Making sure that you have climate control is essential and one should never underestimate the importance of indoor pool climate control.

Importance of Pool Climate Control

Most leisure centres around the world have guidelines that state indoor pools need to be of a certain temperature. This isn’t something that can be done naturally, so of course, climate control is needed. 

Usually, the room temperature of a pool should be slightly higher than the water temperature. This will result in the highest levels of comfort and helps in reducing evaporation. In addition to that, there should be a certain level of humidity. This protects the fabric of the room and provides a comfortable atmosphere for the users of the pool. 

Some climate control systems with dehumidifiers also use fresh air systems with heat recovery. These will extract stale air in the room and introduce outside air by sweeping the unwanted humidity from the room. Others use heat pumps that remove water vapour from the pool hall air and recycle it rather than sending it outside.
