What is polymeric biguanide (PHMB)?
Q. this has something to do with pool chemistry
Asked by hemi357dodge - Wed Apr 26 10:45:45 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Polymeric biguanide treatment originally developed as a pre surgery anti microbial scrub, PHMB was patented in 1977, and marketed for pools and spas under the trade name Baquacil. This technology has the distinction and the EPA approval as the only non halogen sanitizer available for pools and spas. Here's a page if you're looking here to find out how to convert back to chlorine or some other sanitizer. Now that the patent has expired, Bio Lab has also introduced a line of biguanide products under the name Soft Swim. A full system for complete halogen free water care, these products are a stand alone alternative to traditional sanitation methods. The Biguanide itself is combined with algaecides and hydrogen peroxide for periodic oxidation. [cont.]
