This is a type of halogen that has the power to whiten or bleach. It can be dissolved in water, has greater weight than air, and nonflammable. It is ranked sixth as the most copious element on Earth and can be found mostly in ocean. It is used in killing microorganisms and in fading the colors of fabrics.

It is usually of gaseous form, pressurized, and cooled to change into liquid to be shipped and sold in the manufacturing companies. Solvents, rubbers, pesticides or insect killers are some of the examples to which they use this agent as their main component. When released through the air, this will automatically return to its original form of gas. It is also used in cleaning sewage and waste from industrial sectors.

With the micro bacteria that can be found in waters, metropolitan districts spill this substance to eradicate germs that may cause harm to human beings. Swimming pools too are spilled with abundance of this chemical to eradicate germs. Chlorine oxidation takes place to kill the germs, especially when released in the pool.

Valves are invented to ensure that harmful chemical will not have contact to skin and the natural environment. It needs to be installed to adjust the substance released especially in swimming pools.

After discovering the harmful effects of this halogen element, manufacturers, started leading the humanitarian movement. Small step done by a certain company and then other manufacturers follow. They share the goal of decreasing the pollution brought by this halogen element. Taps are used to direct, control, and regulate the flow of this element. Taps are also called fitting and fixtures.
