Paddling pool maintenance
The pool is emptied, cleaned and refilled at least twice a week, usually on a Monday and a Friday. This can take up to six hours, so be aware of this if you are planning a visit:
- all paddling pools open the first Saturday of Whitsuntide Bank Holiday week and close the Friday of the first week back at school in September
- the above applies every year with the pool being open 7 days a week during this time
- the rest of the year the pool is closed
As part of a strict maintenance regime, each pool is visited by staff who:
- visit twice a day - morning and afternoon - seven days a week
- test for chlorine levels, adding chlorine granules if necessary
- check for broken glass in and around the pool
- collect litter from the site and empty the litter bins
- take water samples twice a season - these are tested for E Coli and other bacteria to make sure the water quality is safe
