Cutting pool chlorine
A MODERN cleaning system has been brought in to cut the amount of chlorine in the pool at the Doncaster Dome leisure centre.
Managers say the ultraviolet cleaner will make the pool one of the cleanest in the country.
It cleans almost a million litres of water every 90 minutes meaning the amount of chlorine needed is halved - making the pool more accessible for people who suffer from allergies and skin conditions resulting from exposure to chlorine and similar chemicals found in swimming pools.
The new system is more energy efficient.
Terry Parker, head of facilities at The Dome, said: "The new UV system is already proving to be a success.
"We are using less chlorine now and so the Lagoons smell much fresher, and that has been noticed by both staff and customers. It also means the water is even more accessible to children and adults who may suffer from skin conditions."
The 32,000 unit is the latest improvement made at The Dome this year.
