Swimming Pool Water Treatment
There are three common methods of treating swimming pool water: Ozone, Chlorine, and Chlorine Dioxide.
Why is chlorine dioxide the superior means of treatment for swimming pools?
Why is chlorine dioxide the superior means of treatment for swimming pools?
- It dissolves thoroughly in the water and does not float on the surface, presenting a hazard to swimmers’ skin and lungs.
- It is so highly soluble in water that it disperses and disinfects quickly.
- It does not form a “biofilm” and destroys any pre-existing biofilm in pipes, filters, or the pool itself.
- It does not create THMs, nor Chloroform, that can cause cancer.
- It has a prolonged disinfecting effect that prevents the re-emergence of bacteria and algae.
- It is effective at very low concentrations.
