Low to medium risk of disease transmission
Establish a faecal incident response kit consisting of scoops, nets, buckets and personal protective equipment. Locate adjacent to children’s pool.
On occurrence of a solid stool contamination incident immediately close the contaminated pool.
Immediately remove faecal material from pool using faecal incident response kit and dispose of faecal material in a toilet.
Check that pool chemistry complies with minimum criteria for disinfectant, pH and reserve alkalinity and then re-open pool after 20 minutes.
Check filtration (and coagulation) is efficient.
Overnight perform superchlorination by dosing to 10mg/L free chlorine and allowing dissipation to criteria levels.
Backwash the filter to waste or replace media/cartridge as appropriate at the end of the day.
Re-test the pool, and log the incident and remedial action taken. Re-establish faecal incident response kit.
