Application of Nanosilver in Swimming Pool Water Treatment Technology

Abstract

This paper presents the possibility of applying a colloidal solution of nanosilver in the closed circuit of pool water treatment. The applied nanosilver solution is characterized as having a very high biocidal effect, with no negative impact on either the human and animal body, or the environment. Samples of pool water for the control were taken from 5 points of a pool circuit. The safety of the water was appraised by comparing the bacteriological and physicochemical test results with the admissible values specified by hygienic requirements. The results show that nanosilver solution can be successfully applied for precoating the filter bed and supporting the disinfection system. Special attention was paid to the bacteriological purity and stability of the disinfectant concentration.
