Shared cold water in a warm humid climate is the hardest hygiene case there is, and it is where most club installations in Dar go wrong.

Hygiene first
Warm ambient accelerates everything that grows in water. Circulation, cartridge filtration and an ozone or UV stage are mandatory, and a rinse shower at the entry point turns a weekly water change into a monthly one.
A visible cleaning schedule with a name against it does more for water quality than any single piece of equipment.
Throughput
Two to four minutes in the water plus changeover gives ten to fifteen people per tub per hour. Size on the evening peak, not the membership list, and expect to need one more position than first imagined.
Floor and slab
Falls to a channel drain, a non-slip surface that survives chlorine, and a towel point that keeps wet feet off the gym floor. A 900-litre tub is nearly a tonne before anyone is in it.
In short
- Circulation, filtration and ozone or UV are mandatory in this climate
- Rinse shower at entry turns a weekly water change into a monthly one
- 10–15 people per tub per hour at peak
- Slab detail checked before quoting anything holding water
Questions
Gym & club zones in Tanzania
How often will we change the water?
Monthly with proper treatment and a rinse point, weekly without.
How many tubs do we need?
Size on your busiest hour. Most Dar clubs need three rather than the two they planned.
What does it cost to run?
The chiller runs year round here, so it is a steady monthly figure. We give it to you with the quote.
