School pools work hard. Lessons, clubs and community bookings mean long days of heavy use, often with a small site team looking after them alongside everything else. A little planning before the spring term goes a long way.
Check the plant before term starts
The holidays are the best time to deal with anything that's been niggling. Have the filtration, dosing, heating and air handling checked, and fix any faults while the pool is quiet rather than mid-term.
Keep on top of testing
Heavy bather loads use up disinfectant quickly and change the water balance. Poolside testing through the day, with results recorded, is essential, and staff doing it need to be trained. Automated chemical controllers make a big difference in a busy school pool, keeping levels steady between tests.
Records governors can rely on
Governors, bursars and inspectors want to see that the pool is managed properly. Keep test results, maintenance visits and any incidents in one place. Our engineers log every visit and send a written report, giving you a clear record without extra admin.
- Daily test records, signed and dated
- Planned maintenance visit reports
- Laboratory sample results
- Up-to-date normal operating procedures and emergency action plan
Keep running costs in check
Energy is often a school pool's largest running cost. Covers to cut overnight heat loss, efficient heat pumps and well-set controls can all help. We can look at your set-up and tell you what's worth doing first.
