What is BS EN 15797 - Treatment of swimming pool water - Iron based coagulants about?
BS EN 15797 is a European standard that discusses rules for the safe handling and use of iron based coagulants.
BS EN 15797 is applicable to iron based coagulants (iron (III) chloride, iron (III) chloride sulfate and iron (III) sulfate liquid) used directly or for the production of formulations for treatment of water for swimming pools.
BS EN 15797 describes the characteristics of iron based coagulants and specifies the requirements and the corresponding test methods for iron based coagulants. BS EN 15797 gives information on their use in swimming pool water treatment. General information on iron based coagulants is given in Annex A.
BS EN 15797 also determines the rules relating to safe handling and use (see Annex B).

Why should you use BS EN 15797 - Treatment of swimming pool water - Iron based coagulants?
Iron based coagulants are used to separate and remove contaminants such as particulate and organic matter to improve the clarity of the water to reduce turbidity.
Iron based coagulants more use would be dangerous for health, that will increase water retention, which can lead to swelling in the body. Therefore, BS EN 15363 provides rules relating to the safe handling and use of iron based coagulants for the treatment of water for swimming pools.
BS EN 15797 limits the amount of iron based coagulants in the treatment of swimming pool water to levels that are safe for human health. The levels of iron based coagulants used for swimming pool water disinfection are unlikely to cause long-term health effects.
Obedience and compliance to BS EN 15514 can assist in the removal of a wide variety of contaminants from water to improve the quality and keep customers and the environment safe.
