Allan Cockerell

Allan Cockerell has dedicated his career to designing pools, following his father's legacy. With a passion for swimming to maintain fitness, a significant incident in a local indoor pool revealed a crucial issue in pool water treatment. Engaging in extensive research and attending international Aquatic conferences, Allan delved into German DIN Standards for public pool water quality, particularly emphasizing DIN-19643. This led JH Cockerell to prioritize applying the German Standard to safeguard the health of public pool users amidst inadequate regulations. Specializing in audits, Allan identifies and reports on critical public pool design flaws like chlorine overuse, non-compliance with water quality guidelines, blocked filters, poor water circulation, and water loss. Addressing sub-standard designs in Australia's public aquatic facilities, Allan uncovers concerning facts, including the absence of regulated standards for public pool water treatment, excessively high chlorine levels posing risks to children's health, and inadequate water quality testing in many public pools.
