When a Little Kid Poops in a Pool: How Long Does the Pool Close For?

Accidents happen, and sometimes those accidents can lead to a pool closure. If a child has a bowel movement in a swimming pool, the pool must be closed immediately for disinfection and cleaning. The length of time the pool remains closed will depend on several factors, including:

  • The size of the pool: A larger pool will take longer to clean and disinfect than a smaller pool.
  • The temperature of the water: Warmer water can help to spread bacteria more quickly, so a pool with warmer water may need to be closed for a longer period of time.
  • The type of filtration system: A pool with a more powerful filtration system will be able to clean and disinfect the water more quickly than a pool with a less powerful filtration system.

In general, a pool that has been contaminated with fecal matter will be closed for at least 24 hours. However, in some cases, the pool may need to be closed for longer.
