Old and new indoor pools can benefit from its extensive knowledge in this field. We know that requirements for comfort temperature in air and pool water have increased significantly and specifically regarding indoor pools and wellness spaces.

A pool dehumidifier is dimensioned for a given ambient temperature and pool water temperature, and if these change, so will also the evaporation from the pool. Too low ambient temperature results in too high evaporation from the water surface - and also the opposite situation!

In the short run this is not the primary problem from inadequate dehumidification. Comfort level in the pool surroundings suffers at first. Breathing becomes difficult and the ambient temperature feels uncomfortably warm. Pool users with allergies will be even more affected due to the growth of rot and fungi. Neglecting proper dehumidification will thus be hazardous for users’ health.

Moreover, too much moisture in the air triggers condensation. And pool rooms are often extensions of homes and not always with sufficient insulation. This can result in thermal bridges, which may cause the water to precipitate on walls. In a longer perspective the effects of inadequate dehumidification will cause material damage in the pool environment. So, the lesson is that the temperature and humidity control in the pool room is very important for both well-being and indoor-pool.
