9 Humidity-Ventilation
Other Indoor Considerations
9.1 Humidity
All Swimspas emit quantities of moisture into the surrounding air.
In fact, evaporation will increase proportionally with the difference
between the temperature of the surrounding air and of the water.
To prevent this from happening, heat the air to more than 26° C / 79F
if the Swimspa is located inside a dedicated room. This will make
bathing more comfortable and will limit evaporation.
9.2 Ventilation
The Swimspa room should have a window, and a humidistat
controlled exhaust fan for ventilation. Some rooms may require a
mechanical air extraction system in order to potentially dehumidify
the air during and after swimming. Consult your local
Building Codes.
9.3 Covers
If you decide to purchase the hardcover put it on when you are
not using the Swimspa. This will reduce evaporation and limit your
water heating costs. Use your hard cover as much as possible or
purchase a floating summer cover for easier use.
9.4 Floor Drainage
It is very important to install a non-slip surface/tile for your indoor
installation as the floors will become very slick with water on it.
It is also important to install floor drains around the Swimspa to
help with the splashout.
