A Simple And Affordable Way To Prevent Hazardous Chemical Mixing In Commercial Aquatics

Chemical feed pumps are an essential component in ensuring the safety of water in public pools and other aquatics facilities, by dosing the optimum amount of chemical to achieve and maintain the correct water chemistry and comply with municipal health departments.

Sodium hypochlorite, chlorine, has long been the preferred sanitizer, while hydrochloric acid is commonly used to help balance the water’s pH. 

It is not always a simple matter of getting the chemical from point “A” to point “B”. Problems can occur when there is a blockage in the system, such as clogged filter, or the system has stopped.

Hazardous conditions happen when metering pumps continue to dose chlorine and acid into a dead system, causing the off-gassing chemicals to mix. Chemical feed equipment is one of the biggest liabilities in a pool pump room and there are products to help reduce your liability for accidents happening in the pump room.
