So is that different than “inactivating” the virus as the CDC indicates chlorine will do?

10 is the limit in the State of NE, but yeah, I generally tried to keep mine 4-6 ppm, irritation isn't really a factor if the ph is at the right level. As far as I know, running it higher is just pointlessly using up chemicals. But we're more concerned with germs than viruses. I am curious to see what's going to happen with them come summer, but I'll bet they're simply not going to open.

1) do you need to worry about getting it from pool water? No 2) Would chlorine in water at a concentration of a few ppm inactivate the virus? Quite a bit less likely. The products we use for disinfection of our laminar flow hoods still take a few minutes at much higher concentration (1-2 percent, which is 10,000-20,000 ppm) to exhibit a three log kill of virus. |

Ah, good to know. I have to renew my license every 2 years, and viruses have never been a topic, although there's never been anything like this going on in the 10 years I've been doing it.

It would be like diluting bleach in half and using that.
You have no idea. Spore-forming bacteria are absolute bitches to kill. Seventy percent rubbing alcohol will not kill C-diff (which produces a diarrhea so foul it will clear out a hospital room), so you need special agents to get rid of nasty bugs like it and its brethren. Enter sporicides. We use one called Peridox RTU that is a combination of hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid, which forms peroxyacetic acid. Imagine the nastiness of vinegar smell mixed with the funkiness of hydrogen peroxide, then spraying it in an enclosed area. It will turn your eyes into faucets, and unless you follow it up with 70% IPA (rubbing alcohol), it will rust out stainless steel. |
