We previously tallied up 16 refreshing pools perfect for Shenzhen's sultry summer. Now we're letting you in on 17 you should avoid – until they clean up their act, at least.
Three days ago, CNR reports, the city's health commission released the results from the first large-scale water quality inspection of pools in Shenzhen this year. Of the 245 surveyed, 228 were perfectly fine.
The remaining 17, however, were plagued with issues from too much bacteria (ew) to too much chlorine (ouch). And surprisingly, while the majority belong to private apartment complexes, six of the substandard pools are run by hotels or fitness companies.
The verdicts were based on six measures of water quality: free residual chlorine, turbidity, urea, pH, bacteria count and coliform count (which fortunately wasn't an issue). According to The Paper, the health commission has ordered underperforming pools to deal with their problem areas and submit to a re-inspection.
The commission is also far from done surveying Shenzhen's pools: the city's health inspection department is scheduled to check all of the city's swimming spots, releasing two more reports in mid-July and August, CNR reports.
Without further ado, we present to you the 17 pools that didn't make the cut this time, categorized based on issue. Fingers crossed they'll be up to standard soon.
