Advantages of SALT WATER LIGHT process
The essential difference
in relation to chlorination using commercial chlorineproducts or self-made chlorine bleach is that salt isused to disinfect the pool water. This salt can be usedin a variety of forms: as sea salt, rock salt, brine, etc.A low salt content of just 0.2% for producinghypochlorous acid is sufficient to reliably disinfectpool water using the Technopool process.

Auszeichnung - der Zeit voraus
The "SALT WATER LIGHT®" process developedby Technopool minimizes the risks and setsstandards for the future.

Did you know?
Today it is foreseen that even more stringent safety requirements will beimposed for applications involving chlorine gas and chlorine bleach. Theserequirements will be based on the German regulations governing hazardoussubstances, the Water Resources Management Act and transport regulations.The statutory demand is to : minimize the risks.
Statutory specifications constitute federal rules and regulationsgoverning the handling of hazardous substances:
- German Law on Occupational Safety (ArbSchG) - Hazard assessment and documentation
- Law governing Chemicals (ChemG)
- Regulations governing Hazardous Substances (GefStoffN) - Duty to investigate §16 (1+2)
