SIGNIFICANCE OF POOL AND SPA TESTING A major family leisure pursuit is the enjoyment of Swimming Pool and Spa facilities world-wide. A basic necessity of Pool water treatment, to ensure such enjoyment, is to maintain the water in a safe and pleasant condition for the bathers.

between the hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and the hypochlorite ions (OCl Although both forms are considered free chlorine, it is the hypochlorous acid that provides the strongest disinfecting and oxidising characteristic of chlorine solutions. The amount of hypochlorous acid in chlorinated water dependends upon the pH value of the solution.

frequently large amounts of pool water. In general its application is found just before water passes through the filter units. Its sanitizing power is not pH related. Mainly because of its strong oxidizing power the return water may contain only trace concentrations of ozone. It has to be mentioned that ozone is very unstable and there is anyway the need for low-level chlorination to ensure sanitizing throughout the whole pool.

rate increases. If the alkalinity values are sufficiently high it will not be difficult to control the pH. Most pools managers do prefer to keep the pH between 7.2 and 7.4, that does ensure low corrosion rates and a sufficient activity of chlorine.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION Absorption of Light is a typical phenomenon of interaction between electromagnetic radiation and matter. When a light beam crosses a substance, some of the radiation may be absorbed by atoms, molecules or crystal lattices. If pure absorption occurs, the fraction of light absorbed depends both on the optical path length through the matter and on the physical- chemical characteristics of substance according to the Lambert-Beer Law:...

A microprocessor controlled special tungsten lamp emits radiation which is first optically conditioned and beamed to the sample contained in the cuvet. The optical path is fixed by the diameter of the cuvet. Then the light is spectrally filtered to a narrow spectral bandwidth, to obtain a light beam of intensity I or I.

A zero reading was not taken. Follow the instruction described in the measurement procedures for zeroing the meter. Under range. A blinking "0.00" indicates that the sample absorbs less light than the zero reference. Check the procedure and make sure that you use the same cuvet for reference (zero) and measurement.
TIPS FOR AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT The instructions listed below should be carefully followed during testing to ensure best accuracy. • Color or suspended matter in large amounts may cause interference, therefore, these should be removed by treatment with active carbon and by prior filtration. •...
Page 18
• In order to avoid reagent leaking and to obtain more accurate measurements, it is recommended to close the cuvet first with the supplied HDPE plastic stopper and then with the black cap. • Each time the cuvet is used, the cap must be tightened to the same degree.
OPERATIONAL GUIDE POWER CONNECTION Remove the battery cover on the back of the meter; attach 2 fresh 9V batteries and replace the cover. Alternatively, plug the optional 12VDC adapter (HI 710005 - 110VDC, or HI 710006 - 220VDC) into the DC socket. Plug the adapter into the outlet.
