What is pool room condensation?
In nature, condensation is a key part of the water cycle. It is materialized by morning or evening dew, the appearance of mist, fog; when it is cold, frost, frost or snow; formation of clouds and rain. It is good for our earth. But, when condensation invites itself and settles in our homes, the phenomenon becomes annoying or even harmful at “high doses”.
Several factors come into play for condensation to form in indoor pools. The presence of humidity in the air, temperature differences, etc. are the main factors of the phenomenon.
Evolution of ambient humidity in the indoor pool
When the dew point is reached, that is to say when the minimum temperature below which the ambient air can no longer contain water in the vapor state, this is when condensation is created.
Condensation is a physical phenomenon. When water vapor decreases in volume and increases in density, as it changes from a gaseous state to a liquid state, condensation takes shape. It comes in the form of very fine and very light droplets, and results in a thin film of water which is deposited on all the surfaces of the part and in its smallest corners.
When the humidity contained in the air of the room comes into contact with one or more cold surfaces, such as windows, metal frames, walls (poorly or poorly insulated), when there are thermal bridges in the structure, all cold parts … the conditions are ideally met. The condensation process can then be triggered and establish itself for more or less long periods if no action is taken.
Condensation in the indoor pool
We know and we know that all the elements that trigger the formation of condensation are brought together and amplified in the environment of water features. The space is closed, heated, humid, often poorly ventilated, temperature contrasts between the warm air from inside and the cold or even very cold air from outside are exchanged via the windows, walls and the walls whose insulation can be more or less efficient. It is therefore important to take all possible measures and take action to stem this excessive condensation, otherwise it will end up doing its job, damaging the walls, mold will appear...
Condensation in the aquatic parts is not inevitable and there are solutions to remedy this. If the ventilation of the room remains insufficient, the dehumidifier is a very beneficial solution.
Condensation in the pool room is influenced by many factors and the effects of condensation in the aquatic space can be more or less important on the state of the water room. Care must be taken to regularly measure the humidity of the indoor pool in order to reduce the risk of condensation.
