Birmingham's only 50m pool

At University of Birmingham, treated water circulation within the pool takes account of the movable floor and the traversable boom, and the routing of all pipework is such that no pipework is buried underneath the pool tank. The water treatment system incorporates PAC flocculation, medium rate filtration on single grade sand beds, photo-oxidation using ultraviolet radiation, heating, pH control and residual disinfectant control using chlorine
