A two-minute shower with soap before swimming greatly reduces the pollution swimmers bring into the water. EDDO makes it effective, measurable and educational.
Your challenges
- Chloramines. They form when chlorine reacts with sweat, cosmetics or dead skin. They cause the smell of chlorine, irritate the eyes and expose lifeguards to respiratory problems.
- Most of the pollution comes from swimmers: around two thirds, according to the French health safety agency ANSES.
- Costly curative solutions: dechloramination units, air renewal, fresh water well beyond the regulatory minimum.
- Tight budgets for public facilities that are often ageing.
The EDDO answer: prevention rather than treatment
With eddo.pool, the shower becomes a real step in the hygiene route:
- The swimmer starts the shower with their wristband.
- A light turns from red to orange, then green when the minimum shower time is reached.
- The wristband then opens the gate to the footbath and the pools.
- After swimming, the light works the other way round to encourage a shorter shower.
An incentive mode, without wristband or gate, raises swimmers’ awareness with a screen of customisable messages.
The benefits
- Fewer chloramines, for better air and water quality.
- Less fresh water, energy and treatment products.
- Compatible with your access control and existing changing rooms.
- Monitoring of attendance and consumption, shower by shower.
