Foreword ‘This standard has been preparad by Technical Committee IV 13 of the Normenausschuf Wasserwesen (Water Practice Standards Committee) This revision of DIN 19643 is in response to article 11 of the Bundesseuchengesetz (German Federal Gom- municable Diseases Act) which deals with water for swimming pools and public baths. The Legionella pneumophila and trinalomethane (haloform) values specified in the regulation which implements this article (the Schwimm- und Badebeckenwasserverorcnung (German Regulation on water used in bathing facili- ties)")) have been incorporated into the present standard ‘At the same time, the standard was divided into several parts: The present part specifies goneral require ‘ments, while subsequent parts deal with different combinations of water treatment methods. Additional parts can now be added to the series as the state of the art develops. To ensure proper application of this standard, water treatment systems should be designed, built and monitored only by experienced specialists. Attention is drawn to DVOW-Arbeitsblitter (DVOW Codes of practice) W 200 and W 201, which specify procedures for certifying water treatment experts. Amendments ‘This standard differs from DIN 19643, April 1984 edition, and DIN V' 19844, May 1986 edition, as follows: a) The standard now consists of four paris. ) The standard takes into account the stipulations of the Schwimm- und Badebeckenwasserver- ‘ordnung. ©) The scope of the standard has been extended to include hot whirlpool baths. 4d) The standard has been brought in line with the state of the art Previous editions DIN 19643: 1984-04: DIN V 19644: 1986-05. *) Currently at draft stago.

General ‘The specifications of this standard ensure that a balance is maintained betwoon the purification and contami- nation of water, whileat the same time taking complicated transportation processes into consideration. Micro- ‘organisms introduced by bathers and from the environment are killed by adding an oxidizing disinfectant. The level of disinfection specified here involves a reduction of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by a factor of ten to the power of four within 80 coconde [1]. No more than the required concentration of disinfectants ie permitted in the poo! water. Water treatment is necessary to remove microorganisms, dissoived or colloidal orgaric impurities introduced by the bathers, and other impuritios introduced from the environment, euch as duct. For thie purpose, differont ‘combinations of processes such as coagulation, filtration, oxidation, adsorption and disinfection are carried ut, whereby only those substances specified in this standard may be added. Tomeet environmental protection requirements, the use of chemicals shall be considered with regard to their type, quality and quantity. The Gefainstoffverordnung requires suppliers to provide product and safety data sheets containing all relevant information on the chemicals and preparations used, and the operator is required to draw up operating instruc- tions. Tho specified water flow through the pool or bath encures that disinfectants are distributed and an adequate disinfoctant level is maintained’ at all points, especially at the water's surface. Furthermore, microorganisms, Impurities and pollutants are removed during treatment. The concentration of substances which cannot be removed by treatment are kept within reasonable limits by means of water exchange. ‘The water treatment methods anc water flows specified here help maintain a high quality of bath or pool water, land ensure that the bathing facility meets the relevant hygiene requirements. 4 Concepts Table 1: Concepts Ne.
