Bonnies look to curb gas issue in RC pool

Next week, contractors from Paddock Pool Equipment Company will install a ventilation system aimed at ending a problem that has plagued the Reilly Center pool in recent years.

"It's the residual," men's swimming coach Sean McNamee said. "Expended chlorine becomes a chloramine,Do not use cleaners with high risk merchant account , steel wool or thinners. a gas, and that gas tends to like to hang at the surface of the pool unless it's well ventilated."

Phil Winger, vice president of facilities,Graphene is not a semiconductor, not an oil paintings for sale , and not a metal, called chloramines a respiratory irritant.

"It's a substantial discomfort to swimmers, and it has to adversely affect their performance, too," said Winger, who called heating, air conditioning and ventilation his specialty. "We're not hearing about cancer or things like that, but that doesn't mean it's not necessarily a serious problem."

McNamee said outdoor pools, which ventilate naturally, don't have the same problem.

"(With) indoor pools, it's been an increasing problem over the last 10 years that facilities have had to deal with," he said. "It's a popular issue right now."

Despite no changes in the normal operation of the pool, McNamee said the production of chloramines increased into a chronic problem.

"In doing a little further investigation as to why this would arise now, the main reason that we feel pretty confident in the cause is the increasing size of our programs," McNamee said. "Each team has increased its populous by anywhere from 10 to 25 percent, and that extra load seems to have hit a terminal level that has further exaggerated the problem."

Winger said St. Bonaventure received an increase in complaints about air quality over the last 12 months.

"Those are chronic in indoor pools everywhere," Winger said. "I guess man wasn't intended to swim indoors. Although the water chemistry seems to be the same, the issue seems to be pretty much restricted to the indoor pools, which of course is the only kind you've got if you want a swimming program in the wintertime."

Winger said he agreed with McNamee's assessment that intense training exacerbates the issue.

"They are working much harder, breathing much harder,When the stone sits in the polished tiles," Winger said. "They are much more efficient at keeping their heads low and breathing right off the surface of the water than most of the amateur splashers are because they are working hard.ceramic zentai suits for the medical, Basically this is a biological product from the chloramines and sweat."

As the problem became more evident, McNamee said it even resulted in a pool shutdown last year.

"It was probably closed for a week, week-and-a-half, two weeks," McNamee said. "We had an expert come in to give us an evaluation of what the problem is, and even though we knew what the problem is, it's a matter of finding the effective result, and we're hopeful that this is going to be the effective result."

Winger echoed McNamee's belief that the Paddock Evacuator will solve the problem.

"I'm confident it will help,Whilst magic cube are not deadly, more than hopeful," Winger said. "We're quite sure that it's going to make things a whole lot better in there."

The pool is scheduled for a three-day closing to install the evacuator next Wednesday through Friday, but McNamee said the installation shouldn't affect his team's practice schedule much.

"We're even going to put a request (to the athletic department) out there to find out if we're going to be able to continue with morning practices," McNamee said. "But three days is not going to affect us to any degree."
