From 2 August, the municipal swimming pool will be temporarily closed to carry out various maintenance and improvement works on the facilities. The swimming pool will reopen on 1 September with classes and free swimming, although on 28 and 29 August the facility will be open exclusively for registration for the new season's courses.
During the month of August, various works are planned for these sports facilities, including repairs to the dehumidifier and four diesel boilers to ensure service in the event of a biomass boiler failure. In addition, electrical panels will be replaced, and distribution pumps will be repaired. The automation of all the machinery using PLC systems is also planned, with an application that will allow the status of the swimming pool to be monitored at all times.
All this work represents an investment of €78,484.77 and was announced in March when the swimming pool was refurbished. The final execution has been delayed until now as it required the closure of the swimming pool and August is the month that least affects normal activity.
In addition, a 57.2 kW photovoltaic system will be installed on the roof, with an inverter that will allow it to be self-sufficient in the event of a power failure. This represents an investment of €22,100 and has been awarded to the company Energías Renovables HG, from Ondara. This month, turnstiles will also be installed for automatic access control, with an investment of €16,100.
Finally, under the maintenance contract signed a couple of months ago, the mouldy roof panels will be replaced and the entire deteriorated agglomerate side strip will be repaired. The entrance floor will also be replaced with epoxy and the iron door to the car park will be replaced. All this will cost €18,500.
In September, once the swimming pool has reopened, the entire exterior façade will be cleaned and the windows washed. All this work will ensure that the swimming pool is completely renovated and ready for its reopening on 1 September.
