Open air swimming pool
(Switzerland)
Absolutely environmentally friendly 
The open-air complex Fontanivas is in an ideal spot at the edge of the woods. It includes a sports pool, a swimming pool, a non-swimmers pool and a children’s pool as well as a large waterslide, and beach volleyball courts.
The complex was completely renovated in 1996/1997 and equipped with the latest technology. Brigittte Vesti, the president of the Swimming Pool Community of the Ilanz Region, insisted before the open-air pool was modernised that it should be ‘an absolutely environmentally friendly pool’. In addition to installing a solar power system for the regulation of the water temperature, Grander water revitalisation units were installed in the whole pool area in 2001.
Pool manager Maurus Vinzenz was astonished. ‘The potential saving in chemical additives alone is around 40 percent. We used to have to spend days cleaning the pools in the spring, but now the work has reduced considerably – even the waterslide no longer has to be cleaned so frequently, since it has hardly any deposits.
‘The use of the Grander Technology has had only positive effects for our pool, and the feedback from our guests on the water quality is excellent,’ says Brigitte Vesti.. |
