Preferred term

swimming pools and spas  

Definition

  • Swimming pools and spas provide exercise, leisure, and pleasure for their owners and users. However, the environmental impact of swimming pools should not be underestimated—the need to sanitize and ensure that they are hygienic often entails the use of large inputs of chemicals, and maintaining a comfortable temperature requires large quantities of energy in addition to the requirement for vast quantities of clean water.
