Formulation and method for providing safe, clean chlorinated recreational water

Abstract

A solid formulation for use with sodium chloride and a chlorine generator to provide safe, clean chlorinated recreational water. The formulation comprises a chlorine stabilizing agent and a phosphate remover agent. An enhanced salt comprising a chlorine stabilizing agent, a phosphate remover agent and sodium chloride is also described. The formulation and enhanced salt can also contain a metal chelating agent and a pH balancing agent. A cleaning agent may also be included. A fast dissolving sodium cyanurate compound is used for the chlorine stabilizing agent. A method, kit, and system for providing safe, clean chlorinated recreational water are also disclosed.

1 . A solid formulation for providing safe, clean chlorinated recreational water, said formulation comprising:
 (a) a chlorine stabilizing agent;   (b) a phosphate remover agent.   
   
   
       2 . The formulation of  claim 1 , wherein the chlorine stabilizing agent comprises a solid cyanuric acid salt. 
   
   
       3 . The formulation of  claim 2 , wherein the chlorine stabilizing agent comprises a solid non-chlorinated cyanuric acid salt. 
   
   
       4 . The formulation of  claim 3 , wherein the chlorine stabilizing agent comprises a mixture of mono-sodium cyanurate monohydrate, di-sodium cyanurate monohydrate, and tri-sodium cyanurate monohydrate. 
   
   
       5 . The formulation of  claim 1 , wherein the phosphate remover agent comprises a lanthanide compound. 
   
   
       6 . The formulation of  claim 1 , wherein the formulation further comprises a metal chelating agent. 
   
   
       7 . The formulation of  claim 1 , wherein the formulation further comprises a pH balancing agent. 
   
   
       8 . The formulation of  claim 1 , further comprising an enzyme-based cleaning agent. 
   
   
       9 . A solid formulation for use with a chlorine generator to provide safe, clean chlorinated recreational water, said solid formulation comprising:
 (a) a chlorine stabilizing agent;   (b) a phosphate remover agent;   (c) a metal chelating agent; and   (d) a pH balancing agent.   
   
   
       10 . The formulation of  claim 9 , wherein the chlorine stabilizing agent comprises a solid cyanuric acid salt. 
   
   
       11 . The formulation of  claim 10 , wherein the chlorine stabilizing agent comprises a solid non-chlorinated cyanuric acid salt. 
   
   
       12 . The formulation of  claim 9 , wherein the chlorine stabilizing agent comprises a mixture of mono-sodium cyanurate monohydrate, di-sodium cyanurate monohydrate, and tri-sodium cyanurate monohydrate. 
   
   
       13 . The formulation of  claim 9 , wherein the phosphate remover agent comprises a lanthanide compound.
