Most swimming pools & spa bath are treated with chlorine, as this has been the standard product for use since... well since anyone can remember really as chlorine was discovered way back in 1774... However this does not mean that chlorine is the best solution!

 

This is probably your current situation: you are enjoying some leisure time in you swimming pool or in you spa bath.... and by the time you get out, you stink of chlorine, your skin is dried out from chlorine, your eyes are bright red and hurting, your lungs are full of chlorine gas.... hmm really wonderful!

BIOFILM:

Spa bath, jacuzzi’s have extensive piping which is prone to biofilm. In this all sorts of bacteria - including Legionella - can safely multiply. Chlorine does nothing to prevent biofilm development nor is it affective in removing biofilm. FREEBAC will safely remove biofilm and prevent biofilm development, providing a safe leisure environment.

FREEBAC consumption:

For pools used moderately:

- After the initial dosing up, the total consumption per m3 is 1L per year.

For extensively used pools:

- After the initial dosing up, the total consumption per m3 is 2L per year

 

NOTE:

Chlorine is ineffective at pH below 6.5 and above 7.5.

Chlorine is also temperature sensitive and will not function well at temperatures around 30oC or higher, which basically means that adding chlorine to a spa bath/jacuzzi is a bit of a waste..

The EPA is now saying that chlorine is a major health risk problem. The cumulative effects of dioxin in humans have been linked to birth defects, cancer, reproductive disorders and immune system breakdown.

Health Concerns

The list of dangers of chlorinated swimming pools & spa’s goes on. Chlorine, especially in children who frequent chlorinated pools, has also been documented as an aggravating factor in asthma. Several studies have also linked chlorine and chlorinated products to:

 

Bladder cancer

Breast cancer

Malignant melanoma

Bowel difficulties

 

Additionally, scientists are exploring a link between treated chlorinated tap water and congenital cardiac anomalies.
