As people’s love for swimming increases, the water quality of swimming pools during the peak season is prone to bacterial growth and other problems, threatening swimmers’ health. Pool managers need to choose the right disinfectant products to treat water thoroughly and safely. At present, SDIC is gradually becoming the backbone of swimming pool disinfection with its many advantages and is an excellent choice for swimming pool managers.
What is SDIC
Sodium dichloroisocyanurate, also known as SDIC, is a widely used organochlorine disinfectant, containing 60% of available chlorine (or 55-56% of available chlorine content for SDIC dihydrate). It has the advantages of high efficiency, broad spectrum, stability, high solubility, and low toxicity.It can be quickly dissolved in water and is suitable for manual dosing. Therefore, it is generally sold as granules and used for daily chlorination or superchlorination. It is more commonly used in plastic-lined swimming pools, acrylic plastic or fiberglass saunas.
SDIC’s mechanism of action
When SDIC is dissolved in water, it will produce hypochlorous acid which attacks bacterial proteins, denature bacterial proteins, change membrane permeability, interfere with the physiology and biochemistry of enzyme systems, and DNA synthesis, etc. These reactions will destroypathogenic bacteria quickly. SDIC has effective killing power against various microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. SDIC is a strong oxidizing agent that attacks the cell walls and causes rapid death of these microorganisms. It is effective against a wide range of microorganisms, making it a versatile tool for maintaining water quality in swimming pools.
Compared with bleaching water, SDIC is safer and more stable. SDIC could keep its available chlorine content for years while bleaching water lost most of its available chlorine content in months. SDIC is solid, so it is easy and safe to transport, store and use.
SDIC has efficient sterilization capabilities
When pool water is well disinfected, it is not only blue in color, clear and shiny, smooth in the pool wall, no adhesion, and comfortable for swimmers. Adjust the dosage according to the size of the pool and the change of water quality, 2-3 grams per cubic meter of water (2-3 kg per 1000 cubic meters of water).
SDIC is also easy to use and applies directly to the water. It can be added to the swimming pool water without the need for special equipment or mixing. It is also stable in water, ensuring that it remains active for a long period of time. This simplicity of use makes SDIC an attractive option for pool owners and operators who want an effective and convenient way to disinfect the water.
Additionally, SDIC has a low environmental impact compared to other disinfectants. It breaks down into harmless byproducts after use, reducing the risk of environmental pollution. This makes SDIC a sustainable choice for swimming pool disinfection, as it does not contribute to environmental degradation.
In conclusion，SDIC can make swimming pool disinfection more efficient and environmentally friendly, create safe, healthy and high-quality swimming pool water, and bring the best swimming experience to swimmers. At the same time, it is highly economical and can save operating costs for pool managers.
