a chemical based on Trichloro-s-triazinetrione or sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione
dihydrate.
HCLO - A very effective killer of algae and bacteria known as hypochlorous acid.
Free Chlorine
-
Is the sanitizer (HCLO) present in pool water.
Combined Chlorine
-
Is formed by the reaction of free Chlorine with ammonia
wastes.
Result if too high - Sharp chlorinous odor, eye irritation.
pH
-
A value that indicates how acidic or basic a solution is.
  Resultiftoolow- Corrodedmetals,eye&skinirritation,
destruction of total alkalinity.
Result if too high - Scale formation, cloudy water, shorter
   filterruns,eye&skinirritation,poor
Chlorine efficiency.
Total Alkalinity
-
Indicates the degree of the water's resistance to change
in pH. It determines the speed and ease of pH change,
so always adjust total alkalinity before adjusting the pH
level.
  Resultiftoolow- Corrodedmetals,eye&skinirritation.
Low alkalinity will cause the pH to be
unstable. Any chemical added to the
water will have an affect on pH.
Result if too high - Scale formation, cloudy water,
   eye&skinirritation,poorChlorine 
efficiency.
Calcium Hardness
-
Refers to the amount of calcium and magnesium
dissolved in the water.
Result if too high - Scale will form and will cause the
water to become cloudy.
Stabilizer
-
Stabilizers extend the life of Chlorine in swimming pools.
