Inflatable pools are popular among children. Though they are smaller in size to inground and aboveground swimming pools, inflatable pools must be carefully monitored for cleanliness. Even small inflatable pools can be responsible for the spread of diseases such as E. coli 0157:H7, shigella and cryptosporidium, each of which is known as a recreational water illness (RWI). In order to ensure the safety of those swimming in an inflatable pool, especially young children, you must properly and regularly clean and disinfect the pool.
Instructions
1 Empty the pool of its water after every use. While this may seem wasteful, or even troublesome to have to refill the pool every time someone wants to use it, letting home tap or well water sit in a pool for long periods of time is one of the ways that RWIs can spread.
2 Fill a 5-gallon bucket with water and 1/4 cup of a chlorine-based liquid disinfectant. You can purchase a liquid disinfectant for use in home swimming pools at any swimming pool supply store.
3 Scrub the entire interior of the pool with a rag or scrub brush dipped in the water and disinfectant mixture. Make sure that you scrub thoroughly and don't miss any areas of the pool interior.
4 Rinse the pool with a garden hose.
5 Allow the pool to air dry in the sun for approximately four hours before storing the pool.
