  • Pool covers
  • Pool alarms
  • Pool chemicals
  • Pumps
  • Filters (sand, cartridge, precoat, membrane)
  • Chemical feeders and generators
  • UV
  • Controllers
  • Flow meters
  • Water quality test devices (strips, bench top, in-line)

Product testing includes:

  • Material safety
  • Durability
  • Life testing
  • Output
  • Performance
  • Marking
  • Installation
  • Use instructions
  • Design and construction requirements
