Our New Ultraviolet Treatment System

At the Trails Recreation Center, we’re dedicated to providing our guests with the best experience possible. That’s why we’re excited to announce the latest addition to our pool maintenance arsenal: the Ultraviolet Treatment System. Installed on both our Activity Pool and Lap Pool, this cutting-edge system is revolutionizing the way we keep our waters pristine for the patrons who visit.

What exactly is the Ultraviolet Treatment System and how does it work?

Let’s break it down. At its core, this system features a powerful Ultraviolet (UV) bulb, which acts as a “secondary disinfection” method. While chlorine remains our primary tool for killing bacteria and oxidizing contaminants, the UV bulb takes things to the next level.

As water flows through our pools, chlorine works its magic, sanitizing and purifying the water. However, this process can result in the formation of chloramines, byproducts that can affect both water quality and air clarity. This is where the UV treatment steps in. As the chlorinated water passes through the Ultraviolet Treatment System, the UV light effectively burns off these chloramines, ensuring that our pools remain crystal clear and odor-free.

But that’s not all. The UV treatment doesn’t just eliminate chloramines—it also serves as an additional layer of disinfection, working hand in hand with chlorine to keep our waters safe and clean. By harnessing the power of ultraviolet light, we’re able to achieve a level of water quality that exceeds expectations.

The benefits of our new Ultraviolet Treatment System extend beyond just cleaner pool water. Improved air quality is another notable perk. By reducing the presence of chloramines, which are known to contribute to that familiar “pool smell,” our facility offers a more enjoyable and comfortable environment for swimmers and spectators alike.

Lap Pool Closure

The Lap Pool is closed until further notice due to a suspected broken pipe beneath the pool.

The hot tub, steam room, and sauna will continue to operate as normal. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to address the issue as quickly as possible. Thank you, in advance, for your patience and understanding.
