Hello everyone!

A question about controlled residential ventilation:

(1) Is it basically possible to connect a pool room to a controlled residential ventilation system (e.g. two exhaust vents in the pool room)?
(The pool is small and has a cover when not in use).

The following detailed questions:

(a) Does the chlorinated water cause a problem?

(b) Does the increased humidity cause a problem? For example, is there a risk that the moist air condenses in the exhaust ducts? (The pool room and the controlled residential ventilation system would be a few meters apart on the same floor).

A dehumidifier would be used in the pool room in parallel (if necessary).

I would be glad to receive expert answers and/or experiences from homeowners.

No problem with the controlled residential ventilation. There is no chlorine in the water vapor. You will absolutely need a proper dehumidification system. Especially at higher water temperatures. How do you want to chlorinate? Organic, inorganic, or bromine… Filtration technology, etc.? That should be very well planned. Hope no filter tubes, then you are a slave to your "pool".

Thanks for your answer!

So chlorine is no problem.

But condensation in the air ducts from the pool room to the controlled residential ventilation (10m pipe length on the same floor)?

Would the ventilation capacity of a controlled residential ventilation system be sufficient?

Otherwise, we would currently tend towards a decentralized ventilation system with heat recovery ("bathroom fan").

If we notice that it’s not quite enough, then additionally a dehumidifier (which also heats the room a bit).

Risk of mold is relatively low because the basement is very well insulated (house almost meets KfW-55 standard).

We have UV plus chlorine for water treatment as well as a circulation pump with filter.

Oh dear. Forget UV. Automatic dosing of CL (liquid) and PH-? Automatic filter backwash? Decent pump? I have looked at the manufacturer and the model. It's just one of those all-in-one parts. Regarding filter, control, etc., it's not optimal. It will be sufficient for indoors. In the worst case, you just change some water. There isn't much in it anyway. Forget the controlled residential ventilation or bathroom fan for moisture regulation. You need a proper dehumidification system 100%.

Update:

The current plan is:

235 m3/h exhaust fan in the basement window ("Vortice Vario 150"), which ventilates the 48 m^3 air in 10-15 minutes.

If that does not sufficiently dehumidify, an additional "normal" dehumidifier will be placed in the pool room, e.g.
Eeese Otto, dehumidifies 20l/24h, 245 W

In my opinion, a swimming pool dehumidification system worth 3,000-4,000 Euros is only necessary if the pool is operated for several hours a day.

I have the following message from the American manufacturer (translated from English).

"Most of our customers use an exhaust fan to control the humidity. When the pool is in use and the cover is open, some humidity develops in the room. However, the amount of humidity that develops is very low and can easily be removed from the room with a wall-mounted exhaust fan and/or a simple air dehumidifier. The exhaust fan of a typical pool room is sized at 170-200 m^3/h."

In a video "controlling-pool-room-humidity" on the endlesspools homepage, they mention for a configuration of 29° water temperature and 26.5° air temperature 1 liter of evaporated water per 1 hour of pool usage.

I had email contact with 10 Endless Pool customers who did not use a dehumidifier, and email contact with 6 Endless Pool customers who operated a cheap dehumidifier <500 €, so I hope the plan will work out.

How do you want to keep the pool room warm if you blow the air out every few minutes?
