Pool and Spa Equipment
With more than 50 years of experience testing and certifying pool equipment, NSF provides the most widely recognized certification services in the industry.
NSF/ANSI/CAN 50: Equipment for Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs and Other Recreational Water Facilities defines performance validation, operational safety and testing criteria for pool and spa products. Product certification to this standard is required by the Model Aquatic Health Code and most U.S. state and local pool codes.
Product Types We Test and Certify
Products included under the scope of NSF/ANSI/CAN 50 include:
- Water treatment chemicals
- Chemical equipment
- Suction covers
- Pool pumps
- Strainers
- Automatic controllers
- Supplemental and secondary disinfection systems
- Water quality test devices
- And more
We also certify pool drains, suction fittings and grates to ANSI/APSP-16, which is required by the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act.
