Staff and painters will work on an around the clock basis, if need be, to ensure that it is ready for reâ€" opening on September 16th. Facelift For N. Y. Pool Before Winter Swimming The repainting project is so complete and the entire colour scheme is so entirely different that Gordon Hutchinson, Direcâ€" tor of Recreation, indicates that regular users will hardly recogâ€" nize it for the same building. ‘"The old grey and yellow was very serviceable, but we felt that it was dull and cold in apâ€" pearance so we have chosen three shades of cream and brown for the main pool, which will brighten it up and also provide for a feeling of warmth and comâ€" fort." In addition to the main pool the entire exterior of the buildâ€" ing will be repainted along with the office, guard room, both locker rooms, and all wash rooms and the lobby. Storage rooms, Committe roo m and Therapeutic Pool area will not be repainted but will be thorâ€" oughly washed. The actual pools, floors, lobby, gallery, filter room, and boiler room as well as all of the equipâ€" ment will also be painted by the regular maintenance staff. Many behind â€" the â€" scene â€" jobs are alâ€" so carried out that few people are aware of, but are essential to keep such a large recreation facility operating at top efficienâ€" cy. The actual pools are drained and thoroughly washed with Sulâ€" phuric acid every year. This is followed by two coats of special pool paint. Both large filters must be completely dismantled, scrubbed, and the elements soakâ€" ed in acid. Dozens of filtration and heating valves must be takâ€" en apart and repacked. Pumps and motors must be lubricated and the bearings repacked. Pre â€" coat pots, slurry feeders, chlorâ€" inators, heater fans, . exhaust fans and many other complicated pieces of equipment require disâ€" mantling, cleaning, adjustments and lubrication to keep the m functioning.
