As the world continues to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, service companies and professionals in the aquatic industry are faced with a long list of challenges just to maintain business continuity.

As the manufacturer of the Accu-Tab^® chlorination system for use in safeguarding recreational water, wastewater, potable and process water, Westlake Water Solutions stands alongside the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to raise awareness around water transmission and COVID-19.

Aquatic facilities are frequently challenged to safely manage their pools and spas in the face of recurrent employee turnover and part time help during the summer months.

Is your municipality studying ways to upgrade or combine your current combined sewer overflow (CSO) facilities to comply with the Clean Water Act? 

One of the most important components of any CSO comes at the end of the line, where overflow waterborne pollutants encounter the chemical or mechanical processes that will make them safe for discharge. Choosing the right treatment system for your CSO needs to be aligned with: safe operation and low maintenance, reasonable capital and operating costs and effective treatment.    

Pool season concludes for many when the weather cools down and school is back in session.

Yet, experienced pool operators know that pool season never truly ends. Ensuring that your aquatic facility is operable on Opening Day is a year-long endeavor that requires a commitment immediately after your facility closes.

It isn’t just lifeguards enforcing a “no running by the pool” policy that helps to keep aquatic facilities safe.

In addition to enforcing common rules and regulations that swimmers have come to know for years, your part-time summer aquatic facility staff should have an in-depth understanding of the proper handling and use of pool chemicals in order to maintain a safe operation.
