CHLORINE-FREE SHOCK TREATMENTS WITH OXONE
Looking for alternative step to treat swimming pools to complement chlorine? How about reducing chlorine-usage?
Oxone, by Lanxess, is a powerful oxidiser that can be used to maintain the clarity of your pool water. Using it is as easy as pouring the free-flowing Potassium Monopersulfate (KMPS) powder into your swimming pool and wait for 15 minutes of water circulation before the pool is available to be use again.
The pool industry is beginning to recognise that too much chlorine can have negative health impact, thus, there’s been a shift toward a non-chlorine shock treatment to improve pool water quality and reduce swimmer irritation.
Weekly shock treatments with Oxone has been proven to complement chlorine well. The oxidation process reduces the load on chlorine (from reacting with organic matter to form Chloramines) and allows chlorine to serve its main purpose: sanitising the pool at an optimal free-chlorine levels.
Since the 1970s, Oxone oxidising shock has been widely used in swimming pools and spas. Today, the Oxone monopersulfate compound is the most widely used non-chlorine oxidiser for pools and spas.
