Proper Aquatic Chlorination
Commercial pools around the country will soon open, ushering in
the start of the summer season. In recognition of National Water
Safety Month, which began on May 1st, Westlake Water Solutions, a
business unit of Westlake Corporation (NYSE: WLK); and NSF
International, a leading public health and safety organization that
provides testing and standards, are reminding health inspectors and
pool operators about the importance of using properly specified
chlorine tablets in their certified sanitizing systems.
“Along with the sun and fun that come with commercial water, it
is important to properly chlorinate commercial pools with feeder
systems that can keep up with degradation of chlorine due to heavy
bather loads, rain and the sun’s ultraviolet rays,” said Austin
Looper, director, Westlake Water Solutions business. “Organizations
like NSF, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and
the American Chemistry Council offer tools in the form of
standards, codes and training videos to help safeguard against
accidents and improper chemical application. For example, using
chlorine tablets that are not NSF Standard 50 certified for use in
their feeder can result in problems like over or insufficient
chlorination of the water.”
“NSF International tests and certifies commercial and
residential pool products to the requirements of NSF/ANSI/CAN 50,”
according to Theresa Bellish, senior global managing director at
NSF.
NSF’s Ann Arbor, Michigan, labs are recognized around the world
for their accuracy to verify performance of chemical delivery
systems and tablets, which are tested in conjunction with one
another. Only chlorine tablets specified for use in a given system
will maintain compliance to Standard 50, mandated by most states
and local municipalities. For information concerning this and other
water standards, visit www.nsf.org.
Westlake Water Solutions also reminds pools operators of the
following resources available to them ahead of the Memorial Day
weekend to help maintain healthy water:
