Why do some swimming pools often injure people?

Many pool operators are troubled by incidents of swimmers getting cut in the pool, knowing that newly built pools can also experience this situation, leading to suspicions aboutpool-specific tiles, issues with grouting, or improper selection of pool grout. Sometimes, mere suspicion cannot find a scientific basis, which is quite frustrating, and even pool builders may face issues with project payments due to the pool failing acceptance tests.

There may be various reasons for customers getting cut on the pool floor, here are some common factors:

 

Pool material issues:1, the pool used inappropriate materials, such as pool tiles with sharp edges, which may cause customers to get cut. Some exterior wall tile companies have transitioned to producing pool tiles and mosaics, adopting the characteristics of their original exterior wall tiles, where the molds often have relatively sharp edges. Based on this safety issue, TaoTao pool tiles have undergone anti-scratch treatment for all pool tiles produced since the beginning of the year, greatly reducing the probability of scratches.2009All swimming pool tiles produced this year have undergone scratch-resistant treatment, significantly reducing the likelihood of scratches.

2, issues with auxiliary materials used in the pool, inappropriate grouts that are frequently washed away by water or treated with pool chemicals, acidic water reacting with alkaline grout can corrode the grout, leading to visible gaps and sharp exposed edges of tiles that can cut visitors' feet.

 

3. Low quality standards for swimming tiles: The surface and edges of swimming tiles may wear down or crack over time, and these worn areas may become sharp, causing cuts. The acceptance standards for pools do not mandate which standards pool tiles must meet. Even if they are all under the GBT411-2015 standard, there are appendices A, G, H, J, etc., where the higher the vitrification degree, the lower the water absorption rate, and the better the product quality. Many brands only vaguely indicate compliance with GBT4100-2015 without specifying the exact water absorption standards and appendix standards, which is a way to evade scrutiny and deceive buyers.

 

4. Improper maintenance: If the cleaning and maintenance of the pool are inadequate, sharp objects such as broken glass, stones, or other debris may accumulate at the bottom or edges of the pool, which can harm swimmers.

 

5. Design flaws: The design of the pool may have defects, such as overly sharp edges or a lack of appropriate protective measures, which can easily lead to accidental injuries while swimming or walking.

 

6. Water quality issues: Poor water quality may cause the pool bottom to become slippery, and swimmers may fall and get injured when slipping.

 

7. Insufficient safety signage: If there are no obvious safety signs around the pool, customers may overlook their surroundings, increasing the risk of injury.

8. Swimmer behavior: Some swimmers may run along the pool edge or engage in vigorous activities, increasing the risk of accidental injury.

 

To avoid these issues, pool managers should regularly inspect and maintain the pool facilities, ensure the use of safe materials, and add protective measures where necessary. At the very least, they should learn from the requirements of foreign brands for pool tiles, strengthen the intrinsic quality of pool tiles, and pay attention to details in design and construction to extend the pool's lifespan and minimize incidents of swimmers getting cut.

TaoTao pool tiles have been providing pool tile services since 2008, accumulating rich experience. We welcome inquiries and strive together to build a more standardized and safer swimming pool.
