In recognition of National Water Safety Month, which began on May 1st, Westlake Water Solutions, a business unit of Westlake Corporation (NYSE: WLK); and NSF International, a leading public health and safety organization that provides testing and standards, are reminding health inspectors and pool operators about the importance of using properly specified chlorine tablets in their certified sanitizing systems.
“Along with the sun and fun that come with commercial water, it is important to properly chlorinate commercial pools with feeder systems that can keep up with degradation of chlorine due to heavy bather loads, rain and the sun’s ultraviolet rays,” said Austin Looper, director, Westlake Water Solutions business.
