60% of mosquito outbreaks are concentrated in residential locations and pools is the big villain
The number of dengue cases in Brazil is already five times higher than last year. According to the Ministry of Health, in 2019 675,174 probable cases of dengue were registered. In 2018, the number was 134,048 in the same period.
Holiday homes with swimming pools and without proper treatment can become dengue mosquito breeding grounds. “Maintaining pools is a task that requires a lot of discipline and care. Treating water with the right chemicals controls even the mosquitoes that spread dengue. However, unattended or untreated pools can be the cradle of dengue. diseases, “explains Filipe Sisson, CEO of iGUi.
Still according to Sisson, technology is a great ally and, for this reason, the network has created constant solutions that aim to facilitate the daily life of a pool owner. “The intelligent pool ‘disinfection’ system, known in the market as ‘chlorinator’, transforms iodine-free water salt into an organic bactericide that replaces chlorine – harmful to health – or any other chemical, treating water, which allows the control of larvae. Unattended houses, for example, are the major breeding grounds of dengue. Filtering equipment is very efficient, especially in cases where the owner is at a distance, as he schedules cleaning and treatment. automatically and makes it return to the pool properly, “he explains.
The use of chlorinator is an important step in this direction. “In Australia, the world’s fourth largest pool market (behind only the United States, Brazil and France), chlorine use is banned and chlorine is in one hundred percent of swimming pools. In Europe, it is used in about eighty percent of them and in the United States, all iGUi pools have chlorine. I dream of the day when chlorine is also banned in Brazil, “he said.
