Accidents implying chlorine in swimming pools are usually due to the contact of the sodium hypochlorite with an acid solution. When the reaction occurs, chlorine is expelled from the liquid under the form of a gas heavier that air, moist, aggressive and corrosive. This type of mixture produces a compound called dichloride, whose inhalation can cause serious physical disorders.

The resulting symptoms are : irritation of the mucous membranes, shortness of breath, coughing, tightening of the chest, suffocation, headaches, nausea and vomiting.

 For most swimmers, danger often comes from the reaction between the chlorinated products with the organic elements that they bring themselves in the swimming-pool water.

Swimmers bring nitrogenous compounds such as sweat, skin scales or urine. They react with the sodium hypochlorite used to disinfect the water. The result of this reaction is called chloramine, and is irritating for the respiratory system. The active swimmers, especially in indoors swimming pools, are going to feel some effects – irritated eyes and nose, coughing.

When you use the F30 or R120 Ionizer, you put an end to these risks.
