COVID-19 and Swimming Pools/Hot Tubs

April 3, 2020 By Anchor Pools Staff

Anchor Pools & Spas continues to be concerned with our customer’s health and well-being through the COVID-19 pandemic.   We are offering curbside delivery and water testing in our parking lot and we also offer free delivery to your address. We continue offering pool maintenance to help keep your pool clean and sanitary. Please call Stephanie at 864-350-3363 with any questions or to set up store purchases, delivery, or maintenance.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there is no evidence that COVID-19 can be spread to humans through the use of pools and hot tubs. Proper operation, maintenance, and disinfection of pools and hot tubs should remove or inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19. Additionally, the World Health Organization states that controlling water quality is necessary to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases. 

The CDC considers the pool industry an “essential” business according to the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance.  The maintenance of properly sanitized swimming pools and other artificial bodies of water is necessary to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases and help maintain community health.

Without proper pool and hot tub maintenance various pathogens can grow, such as Pseudomonas, Cryptosporidium, E. Coli, Shigella, etc. It can also create a breeding ground for mosquitoes, other pests and the diseases they may carry, which presents a risk not only to bathers but to the entire community at large.

Additionally, it is critically important that active inground pool and spa projects be completed. Unfinished projects pose significant public safety risks as potential issues such as cave-ins and pool popping, as well as the dangers resulting from an active construction site. 

As children and families across the country are being asked to reduce outside contact or even shelter at home, the backyard pool, spa or hot tub provides the ideal way for families to focus on their health and well-being. These pools and hot tubs should be properly maintained to ensure proper sanitation measures are taking place. 

Again, If you would like to place an order for parking lot pick-up or free delivery or schedule pool maintenance, please contact us at 864-350-3363.  Stay safe!
