Clearwater's MineralPURE

obtains NSF Approval

Clearwater Enviro Technologies has become the first ionizer manufacturer in the past 20 years (and only the 3rd company in the world) to obtain NSF-Standard 50 approval.

The expensive and long awaited project took nearly 10 months to complete. The approval is the highest certification possible for the product MineralPURE, that safely allows commercial swimming pool owners to dramatically reduce chlorine use.

NSF International (National Sanitation Foundation) has been recognized as the leader in public health safety for over 65 years. They are an accredited certification body that tests and certifies products to verify they meet public health and safety standards.

In the swimming pool industry, NSF has been helping people swim safer by meeting the needs of public health inspectors, product manufacturers, aquatic facility managers, facility users and homeowner's through a vast array of testing and certification services.

At the core of NSF's service offerings to this industry is the NSF Pool and Spa Equipment Program. This encompasses several standards such as NSF/AMSI Standard 50, plus various standard criteria from ASTM, ASME and others. Of all the relevant pool and spa industry standards and criteria, NSF/ANSI Standard 50 is special due to the manner in which it was created and its continued evolution. Like all NSF-developed standards, NSF 50 represents a consensus of voting membership with a balance between manufacturers, users and regulatory authorities. This ensures that products evaluated and certified by NSF to NSF/ANSI Standard 50 have the greatest acceptance. It's the reason product manufacturers, specifiers and, of course, public health officials, look for the NSF Mark.

NSF also offers a conformity assessment program which includes laboratory testing, production facility audits and certification to verify ongoing standard compliance. The registered NSF Certifications Mark on a pool or hot tub system component confirms that NSF has assessed - and certified - its conformity with the relevant section of NSF/ANSI Standard 50 and/or other product standards. In addition, NSF conducts annual audits at each authorized production facility to assure that certified products continue to comply with the appropriate standard requirements.

Currently, 28 U.S. states have swimming pool and/or spa regulatory codes that specifically require compliance or third party certification of circulation system components to NSF Standard 50. Many counties and cities in states across the U.S. also have pool and spa codes that require compliance with NSF 50. All over the world, our dealers have acknowledged how valuable NSF is.

Clearwater Enviro Tech will now heavily market the product for new dealers and reps across the world with this big announcement.

All new brochures have been designed and will be released next week - just in time for the swimming pool season! We have a new MineralPURE residential quad-fold and a new commercial quad-fold, as well as new models and new marketing materials. Look for much more newsletter announcements over the next two weeks!
