Kari campus swimming pools have been filled – extensive testing about to begin
News
The pools of the new swimming pool on the Kari campus have been filled for several days. The filling phase went according to plan and all pools are now filled with water. This week saw the start of the installation of the water filters. Next week, an operational test will take place, which will start the system’s commissioning. By then, the water in the pools will already be at operating temperature.
In December, the swimming hall will undergo extensive technical testing. The extensive water treatment process will be carried out in stages, pool by pool. The timetable for the technical implementation, including the water treatment process, pool technology and surrounding support systems, will be further refined in early December after the tests.
Once the water treatment process has been technically run through and found to be operational, water samples will be taken from the basins. Pilot tests will already be carried out during the water treatment process, when the equipment will be tested.
– Test swims must be carried out before the hall can be opened to the public. The aim is to study and test the functionality of the swimming pool as a whole, from the point of view of both the customers and the technical processes. For example, the technical tests will examine the impact of swimming loads on the quality of the pool water,” says Kimmo Salminen, construction manager.
The commissioning of the swimming pool is a multi-stage process that will take months. Various operational and technical tests will be carried out to ensure that the water treatment process works safely and correctly in all conditions.

– The hall is scheduled to open to the public in spring 2025, but the exact date is not yet known. The opening date will depend on the progress of the technical commissioning phase and future testing,” says Salminen.
