Throughout the past month, ISI Water Chemistries has been working with a large plastics manufacturer to improve water treatment in their cooling system, including the B11 Chiller Cooling Tower, and the B11 Chilled Water.

The 2019 World Aquatic Health Conference was held in Williamsburg, VA on October 16-18 and it continues to be the premier science and education conference of the aquatic industry.  My presentation on “Health Effects of Disinfection Byproducts (DBP) & Strategies to Reduce Exposure” was just one of many talks about disinfection byproducts in recreational water and the surrounding air.  Again this year, there were numerous presentations about the importance of maintaining water and air quality.  Another important topic at the conference was the control of recreational water illness’ (RWI) such as cryptosporidium and legionella.
