the ACL^® advantage

Swimming pools and spas - the ACL advantage

Chlorine is proven to be the best overall disinfectant, germicide, algaecide and anti-slime agent available.

For more than a century chlorine has been used for swimming pool sanitation. Today, it's used in over 90 percent of all residential pools and in the majority of public pools in the United States.

• ACL products react with water to produce free chlorine and cyanuric acid which acts as a shield against ultraviolet (UV) light in sunlight, causing rapid decomposition of active chlorine. ACL's active chlorine decomposes slower and lasts up to four times longer than bleach or calcium hypochlorite, resulting in less pool maintenance.
• ACL products dissolve completely, leaving water perfectly clear, residue and cloud free. ACL products do not promote calcium scaling.

Packaging

ACL products have excellent storage stability. Unlike liquid bleach, ACL products maintain their chlorine content almost indefinitly. Depending upon the grade, these products may be available in 50 kg., 300 lb. and 441 lb. drums as well as bulk bags.

PRECAUTIONS

The ACL products are excellent sanitizers because of the oxidizing power of the contained chlorine. This unique characteristic can also make these products hazardous chemicals to handle and store. Guidelines for the safe handling and storage of these chemicals is spelled out on the product label, the MSDS (Material Data Safety Sheet) and the Guideline for Safe Handling and Storage by the Chlorinated Sanitizers Industry Safety Committee. All of this literature is readily available from OxyChem.
