DETROIT LAKES, MN — An indoor public swimming pool here has added an ultraviolet (UV) treatment system ahead of its chlorination system to answer complaints by some pool users that chlorine-containing compounds were giving them respiratory problems, according to a January 12 article in the online edition of the Detroit Lakes Tribune.
Chlorine levels in the pool water at the Detroit Lakes Community and Cultural Center were within state guidelines, the article said. However, center spokesman Stu Omberg told the newspaper that installation of the UV system will cut down on disinfection demand on the chlorine, which should improve air quality.
To install the UV system, the center received a $53,700 loan from the Midwest Minnesota Community Development Corp, according to the article.
