Which kind of pools need a higher turnover rate?

The need for a higher turnover rate in special pools is primarily driven by their specific usage patterns and the unique activities they accommodate. Special pools, such as those designed for therapeutic purposes, water parks, or competition venues, often have a higher bather load and complex water features. Because these pools are frequently used for intensive activities—like swimming competitions, therapeutic sessions, or recreational water slides—they need to maintain water quality and safety to a higher standard.

A higher turnover rate ensures that the water is filtered and sanitized more quickly, reducing the accumulation of contaminants and ensuring that users are swimming in cleaner water. This is particularly crucial in pools that see a significant influx of users or those that may have specific health considerations, such as increased risk of waterborne illnesses.

On the other hand, residential pools, artistic pools, and standard municipal pools typically have different usage patterns and may not require such elevated turnover rates. Residential pools usually experience lower bather loads, while artistic pools may focus more on aesthetics than on heavy use, and standard municipal pools are designed to meet the average community use but do not face the same rigorous demands as special pools.
