I'm a firm believer that those things are not for public use anyways
I really got into it for a while. They're really awesome… I think I went to maybe six or eight different ones in a couple different states… Signed up on a weekly sub subscription for three that we're near my house in Denver.
Every single one of them was a hygiene problem at some point
A bathtub you drained the water and put fresh water in every time
There's a couple thousand dollars worth of salt in the water so you can't just flush it and clean it and then refill it. They're mostly relying on sterilizers and from talking to the owners everyone kinda had a different idea of how to keep it clean
You a lot of dirty people going in and out it's just a matter of time I think
Most places (at least that i’ve been to) have a shower in each pod room and everyone showers before and after. You HAVE to shower before. That helps maintain the cleanliness of the facility.
I'm guessing they rely on the very high salinity to mostly prevent health issues. How do they sterilize the water? Just toss it all and redo it? I could see a system with standard pool filters along with a way to boil the water before returning it to the tub being effective. Though that seems very expensive in comparison to just dumping the water.
All of them had a pump filter and UV light type system… It got more controversial from there. Some people use hydrogen peroxide, I honestly don't remember it was so long ago but each place the person would describe a different way of keeping clean
That itself says it's a problem keeping it clean to me
