Non-Manufacturer Recommended Chlorine Tablets Used in Waters Systems Can Hurt More Than Your Equipment

Using the correct chlorine tablets is not just a matter of equipment efficiency; it could also seriously impact your health and safety. Using the wrong tablets can produce harmful gases that not only deteriorate your equipment faster than usual but can pose a serious health risk to individuals operating the equipment or living near the system. 

A Sam's Marine Owners Forum post illustrates the importance of using only official manufacturer-recommended consumables in vessel equipment. 

In his post, Senior Forum Member Mike P tells the story of how a slight difference in chlorine tablets used in his water system not only began impacting the vessel's equipment but put him at a personal health risk, causing painful vision and respiratory symptoms.   

Why using the correct consumables for your H2O equipment is key to the operational success of your vessel.

At H2O Inc., our products are designed to exceed expectations and industry standards of enabling life on the water's surface while protecting life below the water's surface. Our design and performance standards are critical to our equipment's long life, low maintenance, and reliability. As such, consumables like chlorine tablets, bacteria, and filters are specifically designed and developed to work with H2O equipment and keep it operating in top shape over the life of your vessel. While alternatives exist, using high-quality official H2O consumables for onboard equipment is critical to maintaining and operating marine vessel equipment at ongoing peak performance levels.
