Pool Operations Management is a term used to describe the management and operation of a full pool facility, sometimes referred to as an aquatic facility. To some, managing pool operations refers to maintaining chemicals and cleanliness, but in fact it is so much more. UtilicaFMS is responsible for the entire facility, not just the pool and associated equipment. This includes but is not limited to: locker rooms/bathhouses, air circulation equipment, the deck around the pool, lighting, barriers, and all related security and access.
“Protecting your facility, swimmers, and yourself.”
An Aquatic Center or a community swimming facility is an investment that requires professionals and measured standards that UAE Management and its aquatic management practices are trained and prepared for.
An Experienced Pool Technician can tell if the pool or spa water is good just by looking at it.
The reality is that some pool technicians will not take pool water and taste it to determine whether it is good or bad. However, they use four out of five senses before giving an assessment.
When using your eyesight, you can tell whether the water is clear or murky or if there are cracks, rust stains, calcium deposits, and anything on the pool walls. Using the sense of smell, you can determine if chlorine has a strong smell. If the smell is strange, it may be that the chlorine applied is either bad or combined. The sense of hearing can help determine if a standard filter and pump have a typical sound unless they hear abnormal sounds; it is evident that something is wrong. Finally, by using the sense of touch, you can determine if algae, limescale, or metals are sticking to a wall in the water.
Compared to a pool, a spa is much smaller, meaning smaller volumes of chemicals. Spas also have water flow that is not normal in a swimming pool. Don’t forget that water jets may be good for your back and muscles, but they can cause a problem regarding water testing and treatment. Water jets can raise the pH of a spa since it produces hydroxides (OH -) which drive the pH up. You have to be careful, which is usually not the case with normal pool water.
