- Abstract
Introduction: The swimming pool as one of the public places frequented by people for recreation and physical exercise must have water quality that is protected from Salmonella bacteria that can endanger public health. This study aims to determine the quality of salmonella bacteria and pH (Power of Hydrogen) in Andi Mattalatta Stadium swimming pool water and Hasanuddin University pool water before cleaning and after cleaning. Material and Method: This research was conducted in the Andi Mattalatta Stadium swimming pool and Hasanuddin University pool water. This was descriptive observational research with a cross-sectional study design supported by laboratory examinations. Sampling each pool water two times ie sampling in the morning (after cleaning) and sampling in the afternoon (before cleaning). Pool water samples were examined in the integrated laboratory of the Faculty of Public Health, Hasanuddin University, using Bismuth Sulfite Agar. Findings and Discussion: The results showed that the water quality of swimming pool Andi Mattalatta stadium after cleaning was found Salmonella Sp. 8 colony/100 ml with pH: 6.0 and before cleaning was found Salmonella Sp. 30 colony/100 ml with pH: 5.0. The water quality of swimming pool Hasanuddin University after cleaning was found Salmonella Sp. 14 colony/100 ml with pH: 7.0 and before cleaning was found Salmonella Sp. 38 colony/100 ml with pH: 7.0. Water quality of swimming pool Andi Mattalatta stadium and Hasanuddin University pool already has been polluted by Salmonella Sp. and pH quality of swimming pool Andi Mattalatta stadium doesn’t qualify.Conclusion: It is recommended to the pool manager to improve the pool water disinfection system to reduce the total salmonella colonies that endanger visitors.
