BEWARE OF BISPHENOL A

 

Some solar pool heaters contain Polycarbonate

 

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an important chemical building block that is used primarily to make polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins.  It is also one of the best studied substances, with a large data base of toxicological and exposure information available to assess human health concerns.

 

Bisphenol A is the culprit in the baby bottle recall last summer.  At ENERSOL we  DO NOT  use any polycarbonate in our solar panels to ensure that  toxins do not accumulate in your pool.

 

When polycarbonates are exposed to hot liquids, Bisphenol A leaches out 55 times faster that it does under normal conditions, at up to 32ng/hour.  In short, when water runs through solar panels, made with polycarbonates, Bisphenol A is being transferred into the swimming pool where it can accumulate into high levels.

 

The Federal Government of Canada stated, December 2008, "We have immediately taken action on Bisphenol A (BPA)

because we believe it is our responsibility to ensure that Canadian families, and our environment are not exposed to a potentially harmful chemical."

 

Environment Canada scientists found that at low levels, Bisphenol A can harm fish and aquatic organisms.

 

We, at ENERSOL, have done our homework and would not put our customer's health at risk.  We use the highest grade of polystyrene in our headers, which does not contain BPA

 

 

Swim in warm solar heated water that you can trust to be safe for you and your family
