Staff Cecil Lee Posted May 27, 2013 Staff Share Posted May 27, 2013 The first thing that comes to everyone's mind is the concern of drowning in a swimming pool.However, this pool also has another "hidden" danger! When architects design a swimming pool; best to avoid too much chrome objects. For example, the entire railings that separate the baby's / children pool from the adult pool are large expanse of chrome balls and rails. During the hot sun, common sense says that such metal objects absorb lots of heat. And just a short moment (even) of accidental placement of hands onto such balls may cause a certain degree of burn.Thus, we already know the dangers of drowning. Why add more DANGERS to the pool?Can you imagine what I say? from the photos?Location: The Elysia at 6 Mar Thoma Road. A small 999 condo that TOP in 2005.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted May 27, 2013 Staff Share Posted May 27, 2013 1. Nowadays, there is a concern of bird flu or those N1H1 type of disease.2. Again, the architect or pool designer got it all wrong!3. Such wall features encourage birds = bird baths. 4. For just a few minutes, I have seen at least 8 to 12 birds attracted to the wall water spouts. And a few even flap their wings and wash themselves on these "bird baths".5. Don't get me wrong. It looks "nice". But, nowadays with the dreaded bird flu; we don't want their flu to be actively passed to us humans. What more from a shared facility.6. Here, it is odd that we were advised to wash ourselves first before jumping into the pool; to reduce the incidence of disease; here, these birds and many more, literally wash themselves and their poo in the "bird bath".7. What's wrong with the architect and pool designers? Most likely their mantra is "WE DON'T STAY THERE! WE DON'T CARE AFTER GETTING PAID!"8. Instead: You stay there, we don't should be the key essence!
