The department shall create, within the commercial applicator classification, a category for the direct infusion of chlorine gas in residential swimming pools by a portable system which dispenses chlorine gas registered with the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services for use as a disinfectant and algicide in residential swimming pools. It is the intention of the Legislature that the regulation of applicators doing chlorine gas infusion for treatment of algae in residential swimming pools as described herein is preempted to the department and not the Department of Business and Professional Regulation under chapter 489.
Fla. Stat. § 487.0437
