Problem:
While chemicals are required in pools to ensure a healthy environment for humans, the side effects are that metal parts have to be strong enough to fight these corrosive, harsh, elements.  In one case, a stainless steel heat exchanger coil was being attacked by the pool chemicals to the point where it was failing - which is not surprising given the pH fluctuation from acid to alkaline and the corrosive nature of chemicals such as chlorine that are used.

Solution:
Working with Magnaplate, the equipment supplier redesigned the part to be made from copper-nickel (90/10 respectively) and they were treated with a variety of coatings to see which one was the most successful.  Lectrofluor, which is designed to provide superior corrosion and chemical resistance in extremely hostile environments, provided the best results and now the coils are in mass production.

Lectrofluor is a superior alternative to other common industry coatings such as Teflon®, fluoropolymer, TFE, PTFE, PFA, FEP.
