Adlington is one of England’s last few stars left in this show and while Olympic and World athletic champions were pulling out. This is Adlington’s first Commonwealth Games so she is here with an inexperienced eye, reports one national press.

Adlington will swim in the heats of the 200metres this morning, with the final tonight. This is her weakest event and she has three quick Australians to get past for a medal.

It is unlikely to be gold, but a silver or bronze are very likely and it would spring England’s attack on the medals and bring a feel-good factor to a Games where the smile on the faces of the people is genuine but masks many problems.

“I never thought I was going to pull out. At the trials, we all said we were going to do it. We all expected the worst. When we got here we were all pleasantly surprised. It’s not bad at all. There are a few tiles that are not done but that is not a problem,” Adlington said.

Adlington has a busy workload with the 200m freestyle, 400m, 800m and 4×200m relay. It is the busiest championship she has ever had. If she is successful, she might repeat the programme at the London Olympics.

Adlington’s Olympic success distances – the 800m, where she is still the world record holder, and the 400m – will remain her top events where she is bookies favourite for both.

Chloramines are the irritants which give traditional pools the stigma of burning eyes and bad smell. The Salt Water Chlorination process burns off chloramines in the same manner as traditional shock treatment (oxidizer). When chlorine levels are low in the pool, one possible cause is low salt (others can be higher-than-normal chlorine demand, low stabilizer or mechanical issues with the generator itself.)

Salt count can be lowered due to people exiting the pool (splash out), backwashing, and dilution via rainwater.

The main benefit of a salt water generator is the fact that you do not have to buy chlorine. The salt water generator eliminates the need to make manual additions of chlorine to the swimming pool.

Other benefits of Salt Water Chlorination over traditional chlorine are:

* Constantly Adds chlorine to the swimming pool.
* No need to purchase chlorine
* No need to store hazardous flammable chemicals in your home.
* A safer more relaxing swim.
* No itchy skin
* No red sore eyes
* No nasty smell
* No nasty taste

Here is an extract from the SPATA swimming pool guide.

Outdoor Pools, or those housed in a detached building which are for the exclusive enjoyment of the owner of the property and his family will often be treated as a permitted development and no Planning Consent will be required. Building Regulation Consent will be required for any kind of indoor pool. Consent will normally only be required for an outdoor pool where there may be disturbance to adjacent buildings or drains. A pool located in listed premises or in a conservation area will always require Planning Consent.

You should inform the local water authority that you are building a pool, or ask your contractor to do so.

In the first instance, consult your SPATA contractor for advice and they will be able to advise and help.
