Village of Minster Installs Safety Shutoffs to Prevent Excess Chlorine at Minster Swimming Pool.
The Village of Minster announces the installation of automatic shutoff devices on the pool chemical feed pumps at the Minster Swimming Pool. The new devices immediately cut power to the chemical feed pumps if the pool’s recirculating pump loses power, this prevents the unintended overfeed of chlorine and reduces the risk of elevated chemical levels.
The upgrades follow an incident last week in which unstable pump power contributed to elevated chlorine levels. By linking the chemical feed operation directly to the recirculating pump status, the Village has closed the failure mode that permitted excess chlorine to enter the pool system.
These shutoffs provide an important, automatic layer of protection so swimmers can return with confidence.
The pool has been inspected and cleared for use following the installation. Village officials will continue routine monitoring and will evaluate additional safeguards as needed.
