Humidity Control in Swimming Pools
In an indoor pool, the heated water surface evaporates all day; this evaporation cannot be prevented, only controlled. This episode calculates evaporation with the VDI 2089 formula, works through a 32 m² villa pool example, and covers hall conditions, chloramines and corrosion, unit selection, air distribution and maintenance.

- Evaporation is driven by the vapour pressure difference between the water surface and the hall air; the VDI 2089 formula is coefficient × surface area × vapour pressure difference.
- In a 32 m² villa pool (water 28 °C, air 30 °C and 60%) evaporation is about 2 kg/h unused and 5.9 kg/h in use; with two hours of use per day it comes to about 55 litres.
- VDI 2089 recommends 50–64% RH and an air temperature 2–3 °C above the water, at most 34 °C.
- Chloramines start corrosion; the casing, coil and drain of a pool unit are selected for this environment, and exhaust air is taken from a low point close to the water surface.
- With a 20% margin the example needs 66 litres per day; the Microwell DRY 500 SILVER removes 66 litres per day at 30 °C and 60%.
