Filtering the water keeps it clean and clear. Both pools are filtered by high-rate sand filters. The leisure pool is filtered at a rate of 650 gallons per minute (GPM), which results in all of the water being filtered every 2 and a half hours. The competition pool is filtered at a rate of 820 GPM, which results in all of the water being filtered every 5 and a half hours.
Yes, both pools are heated by natural gas boilers.
The Ohio Health Department requires that pool water contain free chlorine between 1.5 and 3.0 parts per million (PPM), that pH be maintained at approximately 7.5, and that total alkalinity be approximately 100 PPM. A correct balance of the three helps keep pool water clear. Chemical levels are controlled automatically.
It takes 30 to 40 seasonal employees to operate the facility efficiently.
Total costs to build and equip the new facility, remodel the bathhouse, and landscape the site was $1.35 million.
