Committee MS-051 is currently revising the 1993 edition of AS 3979, Hydrotherapy pools. While the Standard has been written for pools built specifically for hydrotherapy, it may also provide advice for use when designing general purpose pools, which could also be used for hydrotherapy purposes from time to time. When developing this Standard it was necessary to consider the general requirements of all public, private and domestic hydrotherapy pools. It was not considered appropriate to nominate specific materials of construction or all design features of the pool as cost considerations, resulting from the insistence on particular materials and some design features, could place unacceptable constraints on the construction of hydrotherapy pools. An informative Appendix displaying a table to allow the users to calculate water balance has been introduced in this revision.
