Activated carbon has been used for many years for the treatment of swimming pool water to remove organic matter, chloroform and ozone. Recently Chemviron Carbon has introduced Centaur CDC a special carbon with catalytic properties that is very effective for the removal of chloramine / bonded chlorine in swimming pools. Chloramines are well known as contaminants which cause poor air quality and irritation of eyes. A recent trial carried out in a children's pool consistently reduced the chloramine concentration to below the detection limit. Some of the benefits of using Centaur CDC include:

  • Improved water and air quality
  • Reduced eye irritation
  • Reduced make-up and disposal of water saving both water, waste water and energy costs
