Swimming Pool Odor Problems

Chlorine is routinely used in swimming pools as a disinfectant. Unfortunately, chlorine has a tendency to react with ammonia. This results in the production of strong smelling compounds called chloramines. These compounds, which are often confused with chlorine, irritate the eyes and mucous membranes and cause displeasure.

The Solution

WaterKlean™ Swimming Pool Filtration Media was specially developed to adsorb, neutralize, and encapsulate many unpleasant odors found in swimming pools and eliminate the formation of chloramines. As added benefits, WaterKlean™ will also remove any heavy metals that may be present in the pool, lower chlorine consumption, soften water, reduce dirt, elevate low pH and reduce backwashing. This will result in a beautiful, clearer looking pool that is odor free and non irritating to the eyes and mucous membrane. WaterKlean™ is sure to result more swimming pleasure at a lower cost.

How WaterKlean™ Works

WaterKlean™ Swimming Pool Filtration Media is a natural product that can be used to eliminate heavy metal contaminants and irritating odors from swimming pools rather than masking them with perfumes. The molecular structure of WaterKlean™ is made up of a lattice structure arranged to form a honeycomb framework of billions of interconnecting channels. This gives WaterKlean™ a large surface area of 40 m2/g and a cation exchange capacity of 1.85 meq/g. Furthermore, this product has a selective affinity for specific cations.

WaterKlean™ works through a process of ion exchange, absorption and adsorption. WaterKlean™ , which is negatively charged, draws in odoriferous gases and metal cations like a strong magnet and traps, neutralizes, and encapsulates them without smelly cover-ups. This results in clear, odor free pools that are a pleasure to swim in. Regeneration and reuse of this product is also feasible.
