Why it works

Why Municipal Pools Are Exploring Probiotic Water Treatment

  • Sanitify probiotic treatment reduces chlorine consumption by 40–70% in municipal pool facilities
  • Bacillus bacteria digest organic load from high bather throughput — reducing chloramine formation and air quality issues
  • Designed for compatibility with public pool regulatory frameworks across EU member states

Dose and Monitor — Continuous Biological Treatment

Sanitify is dosed into the pool balance tank through the existing circulation system. For municipal pools with central treatment plants, Sanitify concentrate is introduced upstream of the main pool inlet. Automated dosing is available through compatible peristaltic pump systems. Re-dose every 1–2 weeks based on bather load and seasonal demand.

Lower Chemical Costs — Better Swimmer Experience

Municipal pools typically operate with high chlorine concentrations to manage the bacterial risk from large bather loads. This creates two challenges: high combined chlorine levels causing respiratory complaints, and high chemical procurement costs. Sanitify reduces the organic load driving chloramine formation — allowing municipal pools to maintain regulatory compliance at lower free chlorine levels, reducing both cost and swimmer discomfort.

Municipal pool operators carry responsibility for swimmer health outcomes at scale. Sanitify reduces the risk of waterborne illness outbreaks by managing organic load and biofilm in high-throughput pool systems. Municipal pools using Sanitify report fewer post-session respiratory complaints and significantly lower combined chlorine readings during peak operational periods.

Bacillus Technology in High-Compliance Pool Environments

Municipal pools treat 500–5,000 bathers per day — introducing substantial organic nitrogen from urine, sweat, and cosmetics. This nitrogen combines with free chlorine to form trichloramine and other disinfection by-products (DBPs) associated with respiratory health effects. Sanitify Bacillus bacteria metabolise the organic nitrogen at source — reducing DBP precursors before they reach the chlorination stage. The result is lower combined chlorine and a healthier breathing environment for swimmers and pool staff.

What customers are saying

Sanitify Probiotic Pool Cleaner has completely changed our pool care. We don’t miss the chemical smells or the irritation – the water is always clean and clear. Best decision we made for our pool!
Liina
We wanted a natural alternative to chlorine for our pool, and Sanitify was the perfect solution. Not only does it keep the pool spotless, but I feel better knowing there are no harmful chemicals around my kids. The water smells fresh, and we couldn’t be happier!
Anne
My kids have sensitive skin, so using chemicals in the pool was always a concern. With Sanitify, there’s no irritation, no red eyes, and the water feels so much softer. I can’t recommend it enough for families!

Frequently asked questions

Does Sanitify comply with EU public pool water quality regulations?
Sanitify is designed to work within EU public pool regulatory frameworks. Free chlorine levels remain within legal limits. Operators should verify specific requirements with their local health authority, as standards vary by member state.
Can municipal pools fully replace chlorine with Sanitify?
Most municipal pools maintain a low baseline chlorine level (0.5–1.0 mg/L) alongside Sanitify treatment. Full chlorine replacement is subject to local regulatory approval. Sanitify significantly reduces the required chlorine dosing rate.
What documentation is provided for municipal procurement?
We provide full technical documentation, safety data sheets, efficacy test reports, and dosing protocol documentation suitable for public procurement processes.
How does Sanitify perform in pools with 1,000+ daily bathers?
High-bather-load pools benefit most from Sanitify treatment. Dose weekly during peak season and monitor combined chlorine levels. Reduction of 40–60% is typical within 4 weeks.
Is Sanitify suitable for use in school and children's pools?
Yes — Sanitify is non-toxic and safe for children. Particularly beneficial in school pools where chemical sensitivity concerns are higher.
How is Sanitify integrated into a municipal pool treatment plant?
Sanitify concentrate is introduced into the pool circulation system upstream of the main inlet. Compatible with existing automated dosing systems. Our engineering team provides integration support for municipal installations.
What chemical cost savings can a municipal operator expect?
Municipal pools report 40–60% reduction in chlorine procurement costs and 30–50% reduction in pH correction chemical usage. For a 2,500,000L competition pool, annual savings typically exceed €15,000.
How long does it take Sanitify to establish in a municipal pool?
Biological establishment takes 4–6 weeks. Combined chlorine reduction is measurable from week 2. Full chemical cost savings are typically achieved by the end of the first season.
Does Sanitify affect indoor pool air quality?
Yes — by reducing trichloramine formation, Sanitify measurably improves air quality above indoor pools. Particularly significant for pools in enclosed natatorium buildings.
Can we pilot Sanitify on one pool before committing to full deployment?
Yes — we offer pilot programmes for municipal operators covering a single pool over one season, including full dosing support, water quality monitoring, and a detailed cost-benefit analysis.
Does Sanitify affect water clarity or turbidity?
Sanitify does not affect water clarity negatively. Most pools see improved clarity as Sanitify reduces the organic haze that develops with high chloramine concentrations.
Is Sanitify effective in competition pools with strict water quality requirements?
Yes — competition pools use Sanitify alongside standard chlorine treatment to maintain water quality required for competitive events while reducing chemical consumption outside competition periods.
Does Sanitify affect chlorine test readings?
Sanitify does not interfere with DPD chlorine testing. Free chlorine, combined chlorine, and total chlorine readings are unaffected. Track combined chlorine reduction as the primary Sanitify performance metric.
What is the minimum order for municipal accounts?
Municipal accounts access bulk pricing from 50L orders. Annual supply contracts with guaranteed delivery schedules are available. Contact our commercial team for tender documentation and volume pricing.
Who can I contact to discuss Sanitify for our municipal pool complex?
Contact our commercial team via the website contact form. We offer free consultations including site assessments, dosing recommendations, and cost-benefit projections.
