What should be the method of cleaning the pool?
There are myths that modern means allow you to go around in the pool without chlorine. However, as the experts say, alternative methods, such as: electrolysis, ultraviolet irradiation and ozonization, effectively operate only in the presence of chlorine.
Even if you are sure that there is no chlorine in the water, you should know that it is there anyway. It's just necessary to remember that chlorination of water is a proven and safest method of disinfection. According to the requirements imposed by the Sanitary and Epidemiological Station, owners of public pools should add chlorine even to sea water.

Going to this pool is quite risky, because a child's immature organism is very sensitive to all-infections and can easily pick up various diseases.

Indoor pool has many positive qualities, for example: it can be used all year round and regardless of weather conditions, it can be heated to the right degrees, it is unnecessary to catch from there branches and fallen leaves. The advantage of the open is that chloride evaporation has minimal effect on the baby's organism, and the free time in the fresh air is prolonged.
