Resumen

This paper shows the design of a device for partial eliminating of isocyanuric acid (ICN) from swimming pool water using melamine additives. The renewal process of swimming pool water through its own purification makes absolutely necessary the elimination of isocyanuric acid that has been accumulated in the water over time. An excess of isocyanuric acid in water will then prevent chlorine effectiveness in the pool water and as a result, becomes harmful to human health. Therefore, the disinfection stage is considered as well as Isocyanuric acid (ICN) stabilization and as doing this is achieved through melamine-photometry filtering of insoluble complex ICN-M. The overall objective of these stages of purification is to eventually eliminate ICN from swimming pool. The overall objective of this device is to eventually eliminate ICN from swimming pool and then make it safe for human uses, a case that has been considered viable technologically and economically in the system treatment.
