DE Research, a local film specializing in non-toxic
water treat- ment has unveiled Chlor-Free, a replacement for chlorine in
pools. Unlike other water disinfectants, it does not contain any halogens,
such as chlorine or bromine, or other cancer causing products. Chlor-Free
produces pool water clean enough for people to drink and safe enough for
fish to swim in.
Chlor-Free is currently available in granular
form only, with tablets available soon. It is easily administered and tested
with ordinary pH test kits and works for seven days or longer. Stabilizers,
conditioners or other acids are not normally required with average use.
Comparative studies show that Chlor-Free is equally effective, or more so,
than chlorine in test after test. The EPA has issued number 70131-1 to Chlor-Free
as an approved sanitizer and algaecide
"This is the perfect product for people
who want to eliminate chlorine from their pool and keep their maintenance
simple," said Cal Robinson, water quality engineer at CDE Research.
"Chlor-Free is easier to use than chlorine and easy to test. Most chlorine
alternatives are expensive plumbed-in systems and are hard to test, which
makes it difficult to know if they're really working."
Chlor-Free alone comes very close to complete
water quality management without the hazardous or undesirable side effects
of chlorine or bromine systems. The cost is comparable to standard chlorine-based
chemical maintenance, and much less than oilier alternative sanitizing systems.
