In an innovative partnership, Dehumidified Air Solutions, a prominent entity in the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) sector under Madison Industries, has teamed up with Paddock Pool Equipment Co. to address the ongoing challenge of poor IAQ in indoor swimming facilities. This collaboration is focused on protecting the health of swimmers and maintaining the structural integrity of pool environments by mitigating the adverse effects of chloramines.
Chlorine, a staple in indoor pools for sanitation, interacts with organic substances like hair, skin, urine, and saliva, leading to the creation of chloramines. Contrary to common belief, the potent "chlorine" odor often associated with indoor pools is actually due to these chloramines, which can cause irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory system, as well as contribute to the corrosion of pool facilities.
The cutting-edge solution involves the integration of Paddock's Evacuator® Technology with equipment from Dectron, PoolPak, and Seresco. This system effectively captures trichloramines directly from the water's surface and expels them outside the facility using HVAC systems, thereby significantly improving IAQ.
"Facility owners, engineers, and contractors need to understand the potential for enhancing IAQ by choosing HVAC equipment specifically designed to manage temperature and humidity efficiently," explained Bob Phillips, Vice President of Sales for Dehumidified Air Solutions. "This approach not only safeguards swimmers' health but also prolongs the lifespan of pool facilities."
Mark Hines, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Paddock Pool Equipment, highlighted the critical role of education in tackling IAQ challenges. "By educating builders and their networks on improving IAQ, we foster a healthier environment for everyone involved."
Commitment to Healthy Indoor Environments
This initiative is in line with Madison Industries' mission to enhance global safety, health, and productivity. Earlier this year, Dehumidified Air Solutions appointed Rowdy Gaines, a three-time Olympic gold medalist, as its IAQ spokesperson, with the goal of raising awareness within the swimming community about the significance of IAQ.
