2 Key Innovations for a Safe Environment

/in /by

Improved Safety in Swimming Pools

Safety in swimming pools, both private and public, has always been a priority in the sector, but in recent years it has seen a qualitative leap thanks to technological innovations. With more and more people enjoying public pools, it is essential that facilities implement advanced safety measures to ensure a risk-free environment. In this article, we will explore two of the most notable innovations: drowning detection systems and invisible fences and automatic covers.

  1. Drowning Detection Technology: Intelligent Real-Time Monitoring

Preventing accidents in public pools has always been a key concern for aquatic facility managers. One of the most serious risks is drowning, which can occur in a matter of seconds, even in supervised pools. This is where drowning detection technology comes into play, a solution that is revolutionizing aquatic safety.

How does this technology work?

Drowning detection systems use a combination of cameras and sensors distributed around the pool. These cameras are equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze the behavior of people in the water in real time. If unusual movements are detected, such as prolonged immersion or lack of movement, the system issues an alert to security personnel, lifeguards, or facility managers, allowing for an immediate response.

Key benefits of these systems:

  • Continuous monitoring: Unlike lifeguards, who can become distracted or lose visibility in certain areas, these systems cover all areas of the pool 24 hours a day.
  • Rapid response: By immediately alerting staff to any risky situation, response times are reduced in the event of an emergency.
  • Reduction of human error: Although lifeguards are indispensable, drowning detection technology complements their work by minimizing the margin of error and acting as a second layer of safety.

Most common applications:

  • Public and municipal pools: Where the volume of bathers is high, drowning detection systems help maintain constant surveillance, even when security personnel are overstretched.
  • Intensive private pools: Such as in hotels, sports clubs and water parks, where security is paramount to avoid any type of incident.

  1. Invisible Fences and Automatic Covers: Aesthetic and Functional Protection

Another fundamental aspect of pool security is access control. For many years, traditional fences have been used to prevent unauthorized access, especially in private or residential pools. However, these systems, although effective, tend to negatively affect the aesthetics of the environment. To solve this, two key innovations have emerged: invisible fences and automatic covers.

Invisible Fences: Safety without sacrificing design

Invisible fences, also known as transparent safety barriers, are designed to provide the same protection as traditional fences, but without affecting the appearance of the pool or its surroundings. These systems are usually made of tempered glass or acrylic materials, allowing a clear view of the pool and its surroundings to be maintained.

Main features:

  • High resistance: Despite their delicate appearance, these materials are highly resistant to impacts and adverse weather conditions.
  • Aesthetic integration: Invisible fences blend perfectly into the design of gardens or terraces, maintaining the visual harmony of the space.
  • Minimum maintenance: Unlike metal fences that can rust or deteriorate over time, invisible fences require little maintenance and retain their appearance over the years.

Automatic covers: The most advanced active protection

Automatic covers represent a modern and functional solution to ensure the safety of a pool when not in use. These covers are automatically extended over the surface of the water by a motorized system, and act as a physical barrier that prevents accidental access to the water, especially by children or pets.

 

Advantages of automatic covers:

  • Immediate safety: By covering the pool completely when it is not in use, the risk of accidental falls into the water is reduced.
  • Ease of use: Automatic covers are operated by a remote control or a simple control panel, allowing the pool to be covered or uncovered in a matter of seconds.
  • Energy savings: In addition to providing safety, covers help reduce the risk of accidental falls into the water. They help maintain water temperature and reduce evaporation, which also contributes to more efficient use of resources.

Implementation in different contexts:

  • Residential pools: In family homes, automatic covers ensure that small children do not accidentally access the water when unsupervised.
  • Hotel and resort pools: Automatic covers are also ideal in tourist environments, where the pool may be a main attraction, but it is required to be kept closed at certain times.

A Safer Future in Pools

Pool safety is evolving rapidly thanks to new technologies and smart solutions. Drowning detection systems and invisible fences and automatic covers are clear examples of how innovation can save lives while improving the aesthetic and functional experience in public and private pools.

Top 6 Benefits of a Saltwater Pool

The Resurgence of Saltwater Pools

Benefits and Trends

In recent years, saltwater pools have re-emerged as an attractive alternative to traditional chlorine pools. This trend has been on the rise due to the benefits they offer, both in terms of health and maintenance. At Ariona Pools, we are committed to innovation and sustainability, and that is why we explored how these pools can be an excellent option for those looking for easier maintenance, a healthier environment and, in the long term, a more economical solution.

What is a saltwater pool?

Unlike traditional pools that require the manual addition of chlorine to keep the water clean and disinfected, saltwater pools use a salt chlorine generator. This system converts salt, present in the water in small quantities, into chlorine through an electrolysis process. In this way, chlorine is released constantly and in a controlled manner, keeping the pool free of bacteria and other microorganisms without the need to add chemicals frequently.

Benefits of Saltwater Pools

  1. Less Chemical Use: One of the main benefits of saltwater pools is that they require much less manually added chlorine than conventional pools. The electrolysis system generates chlorine continuously, which prevents spikes and drops in chlorine levels. In addition, exposure to other additional chemicals is reduced, making the water softer and less irritating for users.
  2. Gentler on skin and eyes: Traditional pools can cause eye irritation and dry skin due to chlorine added in large quantities. In contrast, saltwater pools offer a much more pleasant experience for swimmers. Although chlorine is still present, the amount generated is lower and more stable, resulting in a gentler and more comfortable experience for pool users.
  3. Simplified Maintenance: The salt chlorination system makes pool maintenance easier, as chlorine is produced automatically and does not need to be added manually. This significantly reduces the amount of time and effort that owners must invest in pool water management. Additionally, the salt in the water does not evaporate, so it only needs to be replenished in small amounts every so often, which also reduces operating costs.
  4. Reduced odors and chemical residue: The chlorine odor characteristic of traditional pools is much less intense in saltwater pools. This is because chlorine levels are kept lower and more stable. Likewise, with less need for chemicals, less residue is also generated, making the water cleaner and more pleasant to the touch.
  5. Increased durability of equipment and materials: Contrary to popular belief that salt can corrode equipment, modern saltwater systems are designed to be compatible with pool components. In fact, many materials used in pool construction are specifically designed to withstand exposure to saltwater, extending the life of pumps, filters, and liners.
  6. Reduced costs in the long term: Although the initial investment in a salt chlorination system may be higher than in traditional pools, in the long term the operating costs tend to be lower. The savings come from the reduction in the purchase of chemicals and the simplification of maintenance. For public administrations or companies that manage large pools, this advantage is particularly relevant, as it reduces both the environmental and economic impact.

What to consider when installing a saltwater pool?

Despite the numerous benefits, it is important to take into account certain factors when opting for a saltwater pool:

  • Chlorination system: The installation of a salt chlorine generator is essential, and this system must be checked periodically to ensure its correct operation.
  • Salt levels: Although salt does not evaporate, it is necessary to monitor the salt levels in the water and replenish it when necessary to ensure optimal system performance.
  • Resistant materials: When designing or renovating a pool, it is advisable to choose salt-resistant materials to prolong the durability of the equipment and coatings.
