CYA Smart: A Movement Toward Better, Healthier Water
Steve Berens, CEO of Clear Comfort
Tuesday, January 24, 2023

In this current age of health and sustainability, it is time for pool and spa professionals to treat the water, not the chemicals. Traditional pool care formulas of the past required large quantities of chlorine to sanitize and subsequent cyanuric acid stabilizer to protect that chlorine from the sun. Today, current chlorine shortages have prompted the industry to question the use of products that rely too heavily on cyanuric acid. This panel session explores the new techniques and sanitizing methods that successful professionals are taking advantage of during the chlorine shortages and beyond.
-
- Apply new, proven water care trends that work smarter, not harder.
- Learn how to stay ahead of the curve with available sanitation alternatives and water care practices that protect your customers during chlorine shortages and beyond.
- Understand the impact on time, cost and predictability of alternative sanitation methods.
- Identify how to efficiently let customers know that your business commits to simple, healthy, chemically safe and sustainable water care practices.
