Indoor Pool to close two weeks for filter replacement

posted on 11/18/2024

The Dover Indoor Pool will close for two weeks starting Monday, Nov. 25, to allow a city contractor to replace pool filters and associated plumbing. Barring complications, the Indoor Pool is expected to reopen on Monday, Dec. 9.

Following a competitive bid, the City Council awarded the filter replacement contract last month to lowest bidder Weston & Sampson of Portsmouth for $122,900. 

The project includes removing and disposing of the old filter media and disassembling the inlet/outlet piping and related pressure sensors, monitors and controls – reusing functioning equipment as much as possible. Work also includes removing and replacing filter tanks, installing new media, and providing the city with initial start-up assistance to ensure proper media conditioning and system operation. The filters can filter and treat 158,000 gallons of water in six hours.
