According to the hazardous substances regulation, measures must be taken to eliminate or minimise health and safety risks. Priority is given to replacing hazardous substances or processes with safer alternatives (substitution principle). The German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) recommends the electrolysis method in its guide DGUV BGI/GUV-I 8688, “Hazardous Substances in Swimming and Bathing Water Treatment,” as a preferable option where feasible.
The Ospa BlueClear® electrolysis system perfectly meets these requirements. Its unique design virtually eliminates the risk of chlorine gas leaks. This is achieved by placing the electrolysis cell underwater and operating the entire system under negative pressure. Multiple sensors continuously monitor the system’s functionality, instantly halting disinfectant production in case of any issues.
Additionally, the exclusive use of salt, only inside the BlueClear unit, as the consumable material removes the need to handle, store, or risk confusion with hazardous chlorine chemicals.
The Ospa salt used in electrolysis complies with the biocide products regulation and is listed on the ECHA Article 95 list, ensuring Ospa customers remain fully compliant and secure.
