Yesterday at my refrigerant supplier, we started talking about how chlorine is surpose to be the killer of O3 or Ozone.<br /><br />The topic of evaporation of chlorine in swimming pools could also be as harmful to the Ozone layer.<br /><br />Since the water itself evaporates into the atmosphere, why couldn't it be the carrier of chlorine to the atmosphere?<br /><br />It is sad that the amount of money spent on this is just a thought and not a proven fact that the Chlorine is the problem. But if it is a fact, then all sources of Chlorine should be considered as a destroyer of the ozone layer.<br /><br />When R-12 was for sale before the EPA got involved, a 30# container sold for around $35. Before they phased it out in 1999, a jug of it would sell for $685. Half the price went for a refrigerant tax!<br /><br />This is why everyone is now paying so much for refrigeration repairs.<br /><br />Was this a plot for the EPA to make money or what. Other countries still produce R-12 and use it.<br /><br />I don't think Global warming is caused by it. I started heating my house at the end of the first week in October, and I am still heating and probably will still continue (according to the forcast) for the next 2 weeks.<br /><br />I guess I'm venting due to the extra long cold season this year.
and I don't think it has to do with freon.........SS
