01
Why the pipe objects
Chlorine, bromine, salt, algaecides and the volume of water all affect where and when it may be discharged.
02
Do this instead
Test and dechlorinate as locally required, then use the discharge location approved by your wastewater or stormwater authority.
03
Already did it?
Stop the discharge if the water was recently treated or contains concentrated chemicals. Contact your local wastewater authority for location-specific instructions.
