COMMON TERMS
Algae

 

Microscopic forms of plant life which enter the pool by rain, wind and dust. There are  

 

numerous varieties – some are free floating whilst others grow on walls and in cracks  

 

and come in different colours. Some are more resistant to chemical treatment than others.

Bacteria

 

The germs that contaminate your pool. Introduced by swimmers, dust, rain storms   

 

and other elements.

Balanced Water

 

The correct ratio of mineral content and pH level that prevents pool water from being  

 

corrosive or scale forming.

Chloramines

 

Compounds formed when chlorine combines with nitrogen from urine, perspiration, etc.  

 

Chloramines cause eye and skin irritation, as well as unpleasant odours.

Chlorine Demand

 

The chlorine required to destroy germs, algae and other contaminants in the pool.

Chlorine Residual

  The amount of chlorine remaining after chlorine demand has been satisfied. 

 

This is the reading obtained with your test kit.

Cyanuric Acid

 

Also known as stabiliser or conditioner. It reduces dissipation of chlorine by direct sunlight.

Liquid Acid

 

Chemical used to reduce the pH and total alkalinity in the pool water, and for cleaning  

 

Sanitiser Cell.

ppm

 

An abbreviation for Parts Per Million the accepted measurement of chemical  

 

 

concentration in swimming pool water. I ppm- l mg/L.
