Hello everyone!
A question about mechanical ventilation with heat recovery systems:
(1) Is it generally possible to connect a pool room to a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery (e.g., two exhaust vents in the pool room)?
(The pool is small and covered when not in use).
Detailed questions:
(a) Does the chlorinated water cause any issues?
(b) Does the increased humidity cause any problems? For example, is there a risk of condensation of moist air inside the exhaust ducts? (The pool room and the mechanical ventilation system would be located a few meters (yards) apart on the same floor).
A dehumidifier would be used in the pool room simultaneously (if needed).
I would appreciate expert answers and/or experience from homeowners.

How do you plan to keep the pool room warm if you vent the air every few minutes? If the pool were in use for several hours a day, that definitely wouldn’t be feasible.
With only one use per day, the warm air is simply vented once daily. It’s common in many houses to ventilate fully once in the morning. Here, it’s just the air from one room being exchanged, not the entire house.
The air is then replaced by air coming from the rest of the house. The resulting slight negative pressure will gradually be balanced because the house’s mechanical ventilation system will bring in more air than it exhausts due to the mild underpressure. This somewhat reduces the heat recovery efficiency of the mechanical ventilation system, but it’s manageable. Yes, overall heat is lost and needs to be compensated for. However, with our ground source heat pump, we can easily and inexpensively provide additional heating.
