FLAWED PROTOCOL FAILED TO KICK START EFFICACY TESTS
In September 2010, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), a body whose aim to ‘improve the economic and social wellbeing of people around the world’ issued a guidance document for demonstrating efficacy of pool and spa disinfectants in laboratories and pools. It said: “For many years, disinfection of swimming pools and spa pools has relied mainly on chemical disinfectants based principally on chlorine and bromine. The efficacy of these traditional disinfectants is well established. New types of chemical disinfectants however, which lack that established record, should be shown to be effective against pathogenic micro-organisms under conditions found in swimming pools and spas before they can be approved for use. This guidance document describes how applicants could demonstrate that a proposed new pool and spa disinfectant would satisfy the regulator’s efficacy criteria”. No progress was however made. The OECD testing methodology was significantly flawed. Since then, the OECD has not developed or progressed this protocol any further.

AquaSafe are introducing revolutionary, sustainable new approaches to purifying and testing hot tubs and pools that gives the clearest, cleanest, natural, water imaginable. AquaSafe

Specifically for hot tubs, AquaSafe 90 uses 14 natural seaweed enzymes to treat hot tub water and keep it clean, fresh and sparkling bright for 90 days – without the use of chemicals. Years of research, development, and testing by independent laboratories has produced AquaSafe 90, specifically designed to keep water clean and healthy.
Enzymes are used by cutting edge biochemists in the war against disease because they are so specific in what they attack. An enzyme can be absolutely deadly to some life forms and be completely safe, even beneficial, to others. The seaweed enzyme formula in AquaSafe 90 breaks down bacteria and viruses, dissolving them away and is non-toxic, easy to use, and economical. No more testing the hot tub everyday to make sure the chlorine and bromine levels are right. AquaSafe 90 will keep the water clean and fresh for a full 90 days. spn
