 Abstract

Chlorine is present in most swimming pools as residual disinfectant. In the Netherlands, the chlorine concentration in swimming pools has to be between 0.5-1.5 mg/L free available chlorine, which is based on a 4-log removal of Pseudomonas aeruginosa within 30 seconds. Besides disinfection of microorganisms side reactions form disinfection by-products (DBPs), which are irritating and can be harmful to swimmers health. One way to lower the formation of DBPs is by lowering the chlorine concentration to a minimum level, where disinfection is still sufficient.
