Thermal bath
- Question
- Hello,
I have a question concerning thermal baths.
How is it there with humid-germs, especially the Pseudmonas aeruginosa?
Has one actually to expect such germs there due to the salt content of the water?
On the other hand, the water is very warm, which are good conditions for the germs.
Many thanks for your answer. - Answer
- Dear questioner,
in thermal baths there are in general the same risks as in normal swimming pools. The occurrence of Pseudmonas aeruginosa is indeed a topic in swimmming pools. For this reason there are regulations for the surveillance of the water quality. In case of exceeding the limits the water pools are closed until sanitation. In how far the recommendations on the investigation of water quality are transformed, depends however on the respective local health authorities in charge. It is also possible to let you show the latest control investigations from the operator. In many public swimming poosl the results are already hanging out.
Enjoy your swim,
