Summer Fun Pool Facts

Lots of things are fun during the summer months. Going to the waterparks, swimming in the pool, going to the beach, and if you’re a little one, maybe running through the sprinklers will be a fun day getting cooled off. It’s not secret that people head for the water when the sun is out and blazing bright, how can you blame anyone for needing a nice cool down? Have you thought about what’s in the pools besides water, floaty toys and a bunch of people? If you think ignorance is bliss, then you may not want to know this, but the pool has a lot more things that goes beyond what the naked eye can see.

The next time you are floating around or swimming underwater, think about the amount of people that go in the pool. It’s hot out, the average person sweats 2-4 liters per hour! How many hours are you spending at the pool? Probably an afternoon worth at the least, you do the math on that one. What about other human excrements? Did you know that 1 in 5 adults, yes, adults, admit to peeing in the pool? If you think that’s gross, let’s not forget about the kiddies who are jumping in and out.

Speaking about pee, unfortunately our pee contains nitrogen. Why is that significant? Oh, maybe because it kills chlorine, your only defense when thinking about if the pool is clean or not. No more hoping that the “chlorine kills it.”

Well, the story doesn’t end there. Check out the infographic that was produced by http://www.schofields.ltd.uk/. They explain all the other gross details on what else is swimming with you when all you want is a nice cool down at the pool.
