An internal audit reveals what went wrong with Whitby, Ont.’s Thermëa Spa Village saltwater pool in the weeks that it opened.
Whitby, Ont.’s Thermëa Spa VillageThe spa opened on Oct. 9, and on Oct. 14, it was notified by Durham Public Health that pseudomonas and staphylococcus bacteria, were found in its saltwater pool, Källa.
Lastly, the bromine puck – used to disinfect the pool, and believed to be more effective for warmer waters – could not dissolve properly due to the high salt concentration in the water. This prevented the bromine from acting as an effective chemical barrier against bacteria. A “laboratory-grade incubator” will also be installed, meaning the spa can more frequently test the water for bacteria on its own. The spa says it will be “the only” recreational swimming pool facility in Canada with an on-site incubator.
