Two Rivers Public Health Department, (Brian Neben, Central Nebraska Today)
KEARNEY — The Two Rivers Public Health Department is excited to announce a completely free and voluntary new service to residents in our district.
Two Rivers Public Health Department now has the certification and capabilities to inspect private home pools completely free. TRPHD employees ensure a properly maintained pool to prevent spread of waterborne disease and create a healthy space for exercise and wellness.
What they will do: An overall inspection of the safety of your pool, including testing chemicals and making recommendations to improve physical safety. They will be testing the water for these things:
- Calcium Hardness
- Chlorine level
- Cyanuric Acid Leves
- pH Level
- Total Alkalinity
- Total Bromine
Further education will be provided on these chemicals and their levels at the inspection.
Why: pool safety is important to prevent drowning, chemical injuries, and other safety hazards. Ultimately, the reason they will be testing the water quality of your pool is for health and safety. They will ensure your pool’s water is safe to swim in for prolonged periods – too many or too few swimming pool chemicals can both compromise the water’s hygiene and safety.
