The new pool at Clongowes Wood College SJ replaced the original one which was constructed in 1887 and is widely accepted to be the first indoor swimming pool in Ireland.
The water treatment system incorporates PAC flocculation, medium rate filtration on single grade sand beds, enhanced water treatment via photo-oxidation using ultraviolet radiation, heating, pH control and residual disinfectant control using chlorine. The school wanted to ensure that running costs were kept at affordable levels; with that in mind, Devin designed the hydrotherapy pool with a chiller system which utilises the discarded heat to heat up the main pool for improved efficiency.
