A Must-Read for Indoor Pool Engineers
“A first-class indoor pool environment should be everyone’s expectation.”
- Dectron’s Natatorium Design Guide
  • A natatorium is one of the most notoriously difficult facilities to design because there are so many critical considerations that, if overlooked, can lead to complaints from patrons or develop into problems seriously affecting the building structure.
  • Fortunately, delivering a best-in-class indoor pool experience is within reach of everyone equipped with the right resources.
  • Dectron’s Natatorium Design Guide is a must-read for indoor pool engineers, offering a deep dive into all the key considerations for designing a successful facility, with particular attention paid to chloramine control and air distribution.
  • This guide is the culmination of many decades of experience from indoor pool dehumidification veterans who have seen first-hand what works and what doesn’t, offering best practices based on what they have seen work successfully.
