Swimming pool sanitation is the process of ensuring healthy conditions in swimming pools, hot tubs, plunge pools, and similar recreational water venues. Proper sanitation is needed to maintain the visual clarity of water and to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases. Contamination can be minimized by good swimmer hygiene practices such as showering before and after swimming, not letting children swim with intestinal disorders. Effective treatments are needed to address contaminants in pool water because preventing the introduction of pool contaminants, pathogenic and non-pathogenic, into swimming pools is impossible. Swimming pools abound in the Unites States, with 8.6 million counted in 2007, according to a market research report titled “U.S. Market for Swimming Pool Equipment and Maintenance Products.” Consumers spent nearly $3 billion on pool equipment and maintenance products in the years 2002 through 2006. This figure is projected to reach $3.8 billion in 2011. With organization and some planning, it’s possible to launch a successful and profitable swimming pool cleaning and repair business.
If you want to start a pool cleaning small business, you'll find plenty of opportunities -- meticulous pool maintenance is critical for homeowners, gyms, and apartments and motels.
