A total of eight water samples were obtained from eight swimming pools. The water samples were tested for total heterotrophic plate count, total faecal coliform count, isolation and enumeration of Enterococci, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The pH residual chlorine and temperature of the water was also determined. Total Heterotrophic Bacterial Count was found to be highest in pool BOU to be 1.32 x 109 cfu/ml and least THBC was EVE pool with counts of 8.0 x 103 cfu/ml. Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were the most predominant organisms in the pool with percentage occurrences of 31% and 25%. Enterobacter, Citrobacter and Bacillus had percentage occurrences of 12%, 13% and 13%. Klebsiella was the least in occurrence with a value of 6%. The temperature range obtained from the pools were within the ranges of 23.7℃ to 26.5℃, the pH for the eight different pools were within the value of 7.0 to 8.5 and chlorine range was 0.001 to 4.10.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
