What is the Indoor Swimming Pool Institute?

The Indoor Swimming Pool Institute is a source of information for indoor swimming pool owners, designers, architects, builders and engineers.

Indoor swimming pools are very comforable and allow enjoyment for all participants. A well designed indoor pool is a pleasure year round. The risk of skin cancer is greatly reduced, what ever the outdoor conditions, the indoor pool can be enjoyed year round, 24 hours per day. And, whereas the first cost are higher for an indoor pool compared to an outdoor pool, over the years, the savings in water, energy and chemicals related to the use of the indoor pool, will make the indoor pool a better investment.

Indoor pools are also very expensive and it is good to realize, right from the beginning, that you can not built a cheap indoor pool. Both the design and the materials used have to meet the highest standards to prevent a disaster. Even a small mistake can result in the collapse of the indoor pool building. Doing it right the first time is always a good idea, but a must when you deal with an indoor pool.

Indoor Pool Maintenance

Maintenance is always important. But even more so for indoor pools. The water needs to be clean to prevent customer and users from getting infections or illnesses. But all the equipment must also be maintained to make sure that the indoor pool is a pleasant space to be. For that, both humidity and temperature needs to be controlled within the set point. With very few exceptions this is all done by mechanical equipment. Failure of the equipment will result in extreme high humidity levels, dramatic increase in condensation and immediate damage to the indoor pool building.

Indoor Pool Design

The indoor pool should be designed for maximum enjoyment. Temperatures and humidity levels should make it attractive to enter the indoor pool and stay there. Air movement and introduction of fresh outside air should provide the feeling that one is visiting a tropical island. Low entering light through the walls of the indoor pool can do miracles.
