What is BS EN 15076 - Treatment of swimming pool water - Sodium hydroxide about?
BS EN 15076 is a European standard that discusses rules for the safe handling and use of sodium hydroxide.
BS EN 15076 is applicable to sodium hydroxide solution used directly or for the production of formulations for treating swimming pool water. BS EN 15076 describes the characteristics and specifies the requirements and the corresponding test methods for sodium hydroxide. BS EN 15076 gives information on its use for treating swimming pool water and determines the rules relating to safe handling and use.

- Hospitality industry
- Swimming pool’s service providers
Why should you use BS EN 15076 - Treatment of swimming pool water - Sodium hydroxide?
Sodium hydroxide is used in the treatment of swimming pool water to raise the pH of the water to a level that minimizes the corrosion. Raising the pH remains one of the most effective methods for reducing lead corrosion and minimizing lead levels in swimming pool water.
Sodium hydroxide produces a large amount of heat that would be dangerous for health, which will increase water retention, which can lead to swelling in the body. Therefore, BS EN 15076 provides rules relating to the safe handling and use of this chemical for the treatment of water for swimming pools.
BS EN 15076 limits the amount of sodium hydroxide coagulants in the treatment of swimming pool water to levels that are safe for human health. The levels of sodium hydroxide are used to improve the clarity of the swimming pool water to reduce turbidity and disinfect.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 15076, you can conduct the removal of a wide variety of contaminants from water to improve the quality and keep customers and the environment safe.
