Swimming pools are one of the most demanding environments when it comes to indoor climate control. High water temperatures, intense evaporation, hundreds of users per day and large glazed areas mean that maintaining the right temperature and humidity is not an option – it is a necessity. These parameters determine not only the comfort of guests, but also the durability of the entire infrastructure.
In practice, many facilities still only react when condensation appears on the windows, there is a smell of damp, or users complain. However, swimming pool and water park managers are increasingly turning to solutions that allow them to anticipate problems rather than just putting them out. One of these is the CoolSens temperature and humidity monitoring system.
Why is a swimming pool a difficult environment for a building?
The conditions in a swimming pool hall are unlike those found in typical public buildings. The air is warm, humid and saturated with swimming pool chemicals. If humidity is not properly controlled, water vapour begins to condense on cooler surfaces, ceilings, structural beams, ventilation systems and window frames.
Over time, this leads to: corrosion of metal components, degradation of insulation, mould and fungus growth, reduced HVAC system life, and in extreme cases, costly repairs.
At the same time, overly aggressive ventilation or improper temperature control can cause discomfort for users, ranging from feeling cold after getting out of the water to feeling stuffy and humid air. Maintaining stable conditions requires precise adjustment of the system’s operation to actual environmental parameters, which is why continuous monitoring of temperature and humidity is so important.
CoolSens – a tool for daily control, not just for reports
The CoolSens system has been designed for places where the climate changes dynamically and requires constant control.
In swimming pool facilities, its greatest value is not the graphs themselves, but the real-time knowledge of what is really happening
in the pool hall, changing rooms or technical rooms.
Wireless temperature and humidity sensors located in the main areas of the facility collect data 24/7. The information is sent to the CoolSens Cloud online platform, where technical staff or the manager can:
- check current conditions,
- analyse changes over time,
- set alerts when acceptable thresholds are exceeded,
- react quickly before the problem becomes visible to the naked eye.
This is particularly important in facilities that operate for many hours a day and cannot afford downtime.
A municipal swimming pool that wanted to be in control
One of the municipal swimming pools had been struggling with typical problems for a long time: fogged-up windows in winter, periodic complaints from users about ‘heavy air’ and rising ventilation operating costs. The installations were working properly, but one thing was missing – reliable data.
CoolSens system sensors were installed in the swimming pool hall, recreation area and technical facilities. After just a few weeks of data analysis, it turned out that:
- humidity at certain times significantly exceeded the design assumptions,
- the ventilation system was operating with a delay in relation to actual needs,
- at night there were humidity spikes that had previously gone unnoticed.
Thanks to this information, it was possible to correct the installation settings and introduce simple procedures for responding to alerts from the system.
Effects that can be seen and felt
A few days after implementation:
- users began to feel a noticeable improvement in comfort,
- the problem of water vapour condensation on windows disappeared,
- technical staff gained a tool that really facilitates their daily work,
- and the facility manager received data confirming stable climatic conditions.
Importantly, the CoolSens system did not replace the existing installations, but supplemented them with continuous monitoring of environmental parameters, providing the data necessary to make informed operational decisions.
Climate monitoring as part of responsible management
Modern swimming pools and water parks are complex technical facilities. Their durability and efficiency depend on details that often remain invisible to users. Temperature and humidity are among the parameters that have a huge impact on people’s comfort, and the condition of the building yet are difficult to control without the right tools.
The CoolSens system is part of a data-driven and preventive approach. It not only allows you to respond to problems but also prevents them before they become costly or burdensome.
In facilities such as swimming pools, water parks and spa areas, climate monitoring is no longer an extra, but a standard feature. CoolSens is a solution that responds to the real needs of this industry: it provides knowledge, order and peace of mind in the day-to-day management of a demanding environment.
Because a good climate is one that guests don’t notice – they just feel good.
