In an effort to provide swimming pool and hot tub owners and service providers with reference materials for managing and controlling waste water discharge, the Pool & Hot Tub Council of Canada (PHTCC) has released its recommended guidelines for Water Discharge Best Management Practices (G-0613), the latest in its series of guiding principles for the industry.

This new publication presents four water discharge options and offers recommendations for controlling the pool/spa water’s acidity level (pH) as well as the potential release of chemicals such as chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), sodium chloride (NaCl) (salt), algaecides/fungicides, nonylphenols and nonylphenol ethoxylates, and copper (Cu).

In addition to providing direction to pool/spa owners and service professionals, these recommended guidelines also provide a stepping stone for those municipalities looking to establish a pool/spa waste water discharge program. Municipalities that already have waste water discharge bylaws in place take precedence over the PHTCC’s guidelines.

To get a copy of these recommended guidelines, visit the PHTCC’s website http://www.poolcouncil.ca/pdf/publications/Water%20Discharge.pdf[2] , and look under ‘Free Resources.’
