A message on the centre’s Facebook page alerted users to the situation, which has prompted the closure of a section of the pool for a time today.

Centre Manager, Chris Busby, told the MAIL: “Unfortunately this does happen from time to time. The guidance we have is that we close that section of the pool for a certain length of time, in this case 12 hours. This will allow four filtration cycles to take place.”
