“APSP’s RWQ Committee stands as the final word in the areas of water quality and water treatment for pools and hot tubs,” says APSP president and CEO Rich Gottwald. “Their contributions will be extremely valuable as APSP works toward water quality standards adoption,” he added.
The RWQ Committee provides technical expertise to APSP in the areas of water quality and water treatment. Currently they are revising The American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/APSP-11 2009 (PA) Standard for Water Quality in Public Pools and Spas and will also focus on a Proposed APSP-10 Standard for Water Quality in Residential Pools and Spas.
