I’d like to know if swimming pool maintenance in a strata building has to follow any laws or regulations about being kept in a hygienic condition?
The lap pool in our building has a filtration system and a guy comes once a week to scrape the sides of the pool. There is no automatic cleaning system like a Kreepy Krauly. There is usually a mark on the poolsides at the waterline and you can always see little bits of stuff floating in the water. There has been a two metre long algae growth in a puddle of water directly beside the pool and next to the ladder into the water for three weeks now. I wrote a letter to the strata manager and owners’ committee a few months ago suggesting they buy a robot cleaner as they don’t cost much but did not receive a direct reply only the building manager’s offsider hinted that they didn’t want to leave such a device in the pool. It didn’t seem to occur to them that they could put a kreepy krauly into the pool overnight and take it out early in the morning. My letter to the strata managers a few months ago was prompted by my getting really bad throat infection and losing my voice for two weeks after swallowing just one mouthful of water.
