Germany’s High Culture of Swimming
Efficiency is seen as one of the main virtues in Germany. Before making any decisions, all parameters are therefore thoroughly examined.
Once a decision has been reached, however, it is fully supported. Grander water revitalization gained recognition in Germany slightly later than in its motherland Austria, but it is now adamantly endorsed.
The environmental protection agency of the German industry, B.A.U.M., has put the process through its paces and has found spectacularly positive and encouraging results.
His experiences with Grander water revitalization have turned him into an avid Grander supporter: It was thirteen years ago that a friend recommended water revitalization to Engelbert Kienle, pool attendant at the outdoor swimming pool in Trauchgau. Engelbert Kienle: “Water is my element, my profession and I also drink it.”
The whole village was discussing the altered water. “We still need less cleaning materials even today. I can see by looking at the edge of the pool that the water cleans itself. The water is simply milder and softer, the eyes are not as irritated after swimming and it is more pleasant on the skin. Visitors still mention this frequently as well as the fact that the swimming costumes do not smell of chlorine any longer. Despite the low chlorine concentration, the water is crystal clear even on hot days with many visitors. The water stays clear and clean throughout the winter, unlike in previous years.” To his great satisfaction, Kienle has also noticed that plastic pipes, as well as steel pipes and the pumps, are corroded less. The revitalization device has been running for 13 years without any reduction of its effectiveness and without the need for servicing. The environmental protection agency of the German industry, B.A.U.M., have checked all the data and has given the swimming pool and its attendant the best possible testimonial.
News of the water revitalization system spread from small Trauchgau in the Allgäu region and has now become established throughout Germany, not just in public swimming pools but also in the hotel and spa industry. Three very different baths will be introduced here to demonstrate the wide range of Grander baths in Germany.
