How to Prevent Corrosion in an Indoor Pool Room

1–2 minutes

Indoor pools expose buildings and mechanical equipment to a demanding combination of moisture, warm temperatures and pool-related chemicals. When humidity and condensation are not well controlled, corrosion can accelerate on metal components, fasteners, ductwork and equipment.

Control moisture first

A properly operating dehumidification system should maintain the pool room within its intended conditions. Persistent condensation on windows, walls, ductwork or equipment is a warning sign that deserves attention—particularly during a Southern Ontario winter.

Maintain airflow and ventilation

Air needs to reach exterior glazing and other vulnerable surfaces as the system designer intended. Blocked diffusers, failed fans, altered ductwork or poorly balanced air distribution can create localized moisture problems even when a room-average humidity reading appears reasonable.

Inspect equipment regularly

Corrosion prevention is much less expensive than allowing moisture damage to progress unnoticed. King Air provides specialized indoor-pool HVAC and dehumidification service throughout Southern Ontario for commercial and residential facilities.
