Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to methods for sanitizing recirculating water systems, and more particularly to a method of using N-halogenated hydantoins to sanitize swimming pools.
  • N-halogenated hydantoins such as bromochlorodimethyl- hydantoin have long been recognized as effective disinfectants for circulating water systems.
  • Paterson disclosed the use of bromochlorodimethylhydantoins as disinfectants for swimming pool water after recognizing that organo-bromo-chlorinated compounds appeared to have enhanced bacteriacidal activity when compared to disinfecting compositions containing bromine or chlorine alone. See. U.S. Patent No. 3,147,219.
  • N-halogenated hydantoins such as bromochlorodimethylhydantoins should be delivered by placing an agglomerate of the disinfectant in a reservoir constructed so that a constant surface area of the agglomerate is exposed to the water
  • the prior art developed the use of separate "brominator” chemical dispensing devices to dispense the N-halogenated hydantoin product.
  • brominators include the Di-Halo® Automatic swimming Pool Disinfecting System and the Aquabrome® Brominator .
  • brominator dispensing systems For example, swimming pools in geographical areas prone to freezing temperatures must winterize all plumbing equipment, including the brominator chemical dispensing device. This is a time consuming process, and may subject the pool owner and/or operator to unnecessary chemical exposure when purging the brominator of agglomerated or tableted hydantoin. In addition, the consumption rate of dimethylhydantoin is greater than necessary when brominator units are used.
  • the present invention addresses that need.
  • a method of treating the water of a swimming pool by putting an agglomerate of bromochlorodimethylhydantoin in the skimmer basket, and a cationic polymer in the pool, and allowing a substantial portion of the agglomerate to dissolve before replenishing the supply of agglomerate in the skimmer basket.
  • One object of the present invention is to provide an improved method of delivering N-halogenated hydantoin to swimming pool water.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved method of delivering BCDMH to swimming pool water.
  • One preferred embodiment of the present invention relates to an improved method of effectively providing bromochloro-5, 5- dimethylhydantoin ("BCDMH” or bromochloro-5, 5-dimethyl-2,4- imidazolidinedione) to swimming pool water.
  • BCDMH bromochloro-5, 5- dimethylhydantoin
  • a special "brominator" dispensing apparatus was understood to be required to provide a bed of BCDMH agglomerate that contacts the pool water as it is pumped through the pool filter.
  • other N-halogenated hydantoins are used.
  • the present invention eliminates the requirement to have a separate chemical dispensing device for delivering dihalodimethylhydantoins to the pool. Instead, one preferred embodiment of the present invention effectively delivers bromochlorodimethylhydantoin to swimming pool water by placing one or more pucks of BCDMH in the pool's skimmer basket and replacing the pucks only after they have substantially dissolved. With this method the surface area of the BCDMH is not constant as it would be with prior art methods .
  • bromochlorodimethyl ⁇ hydantoin is effectively delivered by placing pucks of BCDMH in the skimmer basket in conjunction with the addition of a cationic polymer to the pool water.
  • the surface area of the BCDMH is not constant as it would be with prior art methods.
  • an N-halogenated composition is added to a recirculating water system by contacting the recirculating water with solid pieces of the N-halogenated composition, wherein the surface area of the N-halogenated composition is allowed to vary over time (i.e.. the surface area is not kept substantially constant).
  • the N-halogenated composition need not be placed in the skimmer basket, but may be maintained in contact with the recirculating water at any convenient location by placing the N-halogenated composition in a receptacle which allows the recirculating water to freely flow therethrough.
  • a method for reducing the consumption of N-halogenated hydantoins when the same are used to treat recirculating water.
  • the use of prior art brominator chemical dispensing devices is difficult to regulate and results in an average consumption of 3 to 5 pounds of bromochlorodimethylhydantoin per week per 10,000 gallons.
  • the skimmer-fed application of tableted bromochlorodimethylhydantoin accompanied by the biweekly addition of cationic polymeric compounds results in an average BCDMH consumption rate of only 1 to 2 pounds per week per 10,000 gallons.
  • N-halogenated hydantoin is preferably of the formula:
  • X is chlorine, bromine or iodine
  • Y is chlorine, bromine, iodine, hydrogen, a lower (C 1 _ 8 ) alkyl, a lower (C,usually) acyl, or a lower (C, deliberately) alkoxy;
  • R 1, and R2- are each C,1—o D mono- or multivalent hydrocarbon radicals of the group consisting of alkyl and/or saturated or unsaturated monocyclic hydrocarbon radicals having five or six carbon atoms per cycle, which radicals can be substituted with lower alkyl, lower acyl, lower alkoxy, carboxy and/or sulfonic acid groups.
  • bromochlorodimethylhydantoin is preferably used.
  • Other N-halogenated hydantoins with higher order straight or branched chain alkyl groups in Position 5 of the heterocyclic imidazolidinedione ring may be more or less desired according to the particular characteristics desired to be achieved, and according to other technical and economic considerations.
  • the N-halogenated hydantoin may be provided in either dry or liquid form.
  • the hydantoin When provided as a dry composition, the hydantoin may be agglomerated, compressed, extruded or tableted into essentially any size or shape.

  • the N-halogenated hydantoin is provided as an agglomerated, compressed, extruded or tableted product of undefined dimension, size and/or shape weighing from 20 to 125 grams.
  • the N-halogenated hydantoin used in certain of the following examples was provided as a 1" diameter, 20 gram compressed tablet or a 2 3/4" diameter, 120 gram compressed puck.
  • one or more pucks of bromochlorodimethylhydantoin agglomerate are placed directly in the skimmer basket of a pool. The pucks are allowed to dissolve in the pool water over a period of between about three days and about seven days before new pucks are added to the skimmer basket to replenish the supply.
  • the agglomerate is provided in an amount and in a form such that the surface area of the agglomerate exposed to the water changes over time as the pucks dissolve, and is not substantially constant.
  • the N-halogenated hydantoin is delivered to the recirculating water via a device which holds the hydantoin and is placed in the recirculating water flow.
  • the N-halogenated hydantoin may be placed in a reusable or a disposable container which holds the hydantoin while simultaneously allowing water to flow freely therethrough.
  • the container is preferably corrosion resistant, and may be an interlocking clam shell device, or a twist-open or permeable mesh bag-type assembly.
  • the receptacle may be maintained in contact with the water at essentially any location in the pool or its associated plumbing. Most preferably, the receptacle is placed in the skimmer basket.

  • the molecular weight of the cationic polymer is preferably between about 500 Da to 100,000 Da, with polymers having a molecular weight of between about 1,000 Da and 20,000 Da being most preferred.
