TABLE OF CONTENTS PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION ..............................................................................................................................................
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. In order to achieve such an objective, swimming pool water requires testing on daily, and sometimes hourly bases for disinfection residuals and pH.
Calcium Hardness The presence of calcium in the system is desired to ensure filming on those places where the temperature is relatively high, like in boilers and pipes transporting warm water. Scaling must be avoided because it reduces heat transfer and pump capacity. Beside the calcium carbonate deposits in the pipes, high scaling values do cause cloudy water. It is recommended to maintain the calcium hardness value within the range from 200 to 400 ppm as calcium carbonate (CaCO3).

(c) take out the syringe and clean the outside of the syringe tip. Be sure that no drops are hanging on the tip of the syringe, if so eliminate them. Then, keeping the syringe in vertical position above the cuvette, push the plunger down into the syringe until the lower edge of the seal is exactly on the 0.5 mL mark. Now the exact amount of 0.5 mL has been added to the cuvette, even if the tip still contains some solution.
specific method. • It is possible to take multiple readings in a row, but it is recommended to take a new zero reading for each sample and to use the same cuvette for zeroing and measurement when possible (for most precise results follow the measurement procedures carefully). • Discard the sample immediately after the reading is taken, or the glass might become permanently stained. • All the reaction times reported in this manual are at 25 °C (77 °F).
• After the desired method is selected, follow the measurement described in the related section. • Before performing a test you should read all the instructions carefully. DATA MANAGEMENT The instrument features a data log function to help you keep track of all your analysis. The data log can hold 200 individual measurements. Storing, viewing and deleting the data is possible using the LOG and RCL keys.. Storing data: You can store only a valid measurement.
