How can the i-chlor system be a GREEN system?
Twenty 50 lb bags of salt, which can easily be transported in any pickup truck, are equal to 30 drums (50 gallons/drum) of 5.25 percent commercial bleach. With i-chlors less volume and less storage space needs, the quantity and capacity of product replacement trips are significantly reduced when compared to bleach. A single plastic bag containing 50 lbs of salt replaces 60 one-gallon plastic bleach containers. In addition to reduced energy needs with less containers, there is also reduced landfill waste. A saltwater pool that needs to be drained produces high TDS discharge requirements on a wastewater disposal system. Removal of the minerals requires high energy to remove these minerals. Many municipalities in the country are developing ordinance against saltwater pools. Lastly, less chance of chlorine release means less emission of greenhouse gases. With only 33 NSF approved chlorine manufacturers (less than one per state), considerable savings are realized by i-chlors product availab
