It may seem routine to some, but the work of swimming pool and spa service professionals can affect people's health. Nothing makes this more clear than incidents such as the one that occurred at the New York Hotel at Disneyland Paris. According to reports, an error was made in the mixing of bleach with sulfuric acid, sending causing 22 guests and employees to the hospital.

Accidents such as this show the importance of commercial pool operators and service techs closely following chemical dosing instructions, which also means paying attention to the order in which chemicals must be added.
