FOUGERES
Contexte :

Our community is strongly committed to CSR/RSO and sustainable development: - Energy and fluid management optimization at the aquatic center since 2013, - A clear commitment to meeting the requirements of the tertiary sector decree - Our facility has a 4-star rating from the "Piscine de Demain" (Pool of Tomorrow) Label. Our goal is to achieve the fifth star by 2025.

Objectif :
- Management of Chloramine levels in the leisure pool (400 m2) - Optimization of pool water consumption
Impact / résultats obtenus :

January-June 2022: 2352 m3 consumed in the leisure pool. January-June 2023: 1626 m3. A difference of 726 m3 in 6 months, meaning over 1,400 m3/year in savings for one pool! At over €9 per m3 (heated, treated) and currently €13 with energy prices, the payback period is very fast. We are now at 42 liters/day/swimmer.

Dépenses / Investissements :
We had experimented with installing UV dechloraminators in the SPA, so we proceeded with the installation of UV lamps in the 400 m2 leisure pool. This involved an investment of €15,000 ex-VAT (material purchase). The installation was carried out in-house (during the technical shutdown) by 2 technicians over 1 workday. Implementation is simple, and we handled it ourselves. This included purchasing pressure PVC, cutting and gluing, drying, and installing and connecting the electrical box.
Perspectives / développement :

Confirmation of bathing water quality in the leisure pool even during record attendance this summer (peak of 800 people reached and 1,200 entries in a single day in July), and an annual saving of €18,000.

Problématiques et enjeux :

The summer water stress situation, the energy crisis and inflation, and the cost of treatment products significantly impact the operation of aquatic centers: water scarcity, the substantial increase in the cost per m3 of filtered, heated, and treated pool water (from €9 to €16/m3). We were experiencing significant initial leaks in the leisure pool and frequent filter backwashes during peak attendance periods, with between 800 and 1200 entries per day, in order to maintain regulatory bathing water quality conditions (-0.6 mg/L of chloramines).

We decided to create the Best Practices sheets* after observing a lack of and need for sharing among local authorities regarding swimming pools.

* A best practice is an action that has been concretely implemented in one facility and could serve as a source of inspiration for other facilities. Whether simple or revolutionary, what matters is that it is judicious and inspiring for another establishment.
