WATER TREATMENT GLOSSARY cont...

17 - Chloramines: Irritating, odorous forms of combined chlorine,

formed by the reaction of chlorine with nitrogen containing waste prod-

ucts. Ineffective as a pool or spa sanitizer. High levels of chloramines

can cause the problems of “Red Eyes” or “Stinging Eyes.” Usually

requires a shock treatment to lower or destroy the combined chlorine

level.

18 - Corona Discharge: A method for producing ozone, by utilizing

high voltage arcing to convert oxygen (O2) into ozone (O3). Refer to

the listing for Ozone for more information.

19 - Enzymes: Organic agents that hasten the natural breakdown

(digestion) or decomposition of oily wastes and organic residues in

pools and spas.

20 - Hard Water: The term used to describe water that is high in cal-

cium or magnesium. High levels, usually over 400 PPM, can lead to

clarity and scaling problems, if not treated. Source of the calcium can

be natural or can be contributed by chemicals such as calcium

hypochlorite.

21 - Ions: The electrically charged state that an element assumes in

true solution. In the ionic state, ions are chemically reactive. Some

ions, such as, copper, silver and zinc, are used as sanitizers in mineral

puriﬁers and/or ionizers.

22 - Ionizers: Equipment that sanitizes pool and spa water by provid-

ing a low level source of copper and silver ions, as the water passes

over charged electrodes. Copper ions can provide algaecidal control.

Silver ions can provide bactericidal control. Other types of devices

(mineral puriﬁers) work by an erosion principle and utilize copper, silver

or zinc ions.

23 - Mineral Puriﬁer: A type of device that releases copper, silver or

zinc ions into the water at very low levels. In this ionic state, these

minerals can function in the sanitizer role and help control algae and

bacteria in pool and spa water. Mineral Puriﬁers work on the principle-

of erosion and do not require electrical components. Most include

some type of replaceable cartridge, that contains the copper, silver or

zinc materials.

24 - Biguanide: The generic name for a non-chlorine, non-bromine,

sanitizer that utilizes the polymer PHMB (polyhexamethylene

biguanide). It is used to totally eliminate the use of chlorine or

bromine.

25 - Bioﬁlm: A slippery coating of microorganisms that can develop in

poorly sanitized pools and spas.

26 - Brominator: Feeding devices used to introduce bromine into

pools or spas. Most automatic types can be plumbed inline. Others

are simple ﬂoating varieties. All are intended to make the application

of bromine easier and more consistent. Do not use chlorine in place of

bromine, in any brominator.

27 - Calcium Carbonate: Crystalline deposits (scale) that can form on

all under water surfaces, if the water is excessively high in calcium

hardness. High pH and high total alkalinity can worsen the problem.

Responsible for cloudy water conditions that may result due to pool or

spa water being out of balance.

28 - Oxidation: The chemical reaction by which organic matter is

“burned” or destroyed, by the action of chlorine, bromine, ozone, hy-

drogen peroxide or non-chlorine shock. Oxidation may cause minerals

such as iron, manganese and copper to form discoloring stains and

precipitates, if not treated properly.

29 - Ozonator: A device for producing Ozone (O3), by either a UV (ul-

traviolet) light source or by electrical arcing (corona discharge). Used

for oxidizing and sanitizing purposes in both pools and spas. Click here

for some ordering information about Ozone Test Kits.

30 - Ozone (O3): Typically produced by an Ozonator installed in a pool

or spa. Ozone (O3) is a form of oxygen (O2) and is a powerful oxidiz-

ing agent. It is used to destroy organic waste and byproducts and help

in the control of algae and bacteria. Not a stand-alone sanitizer: needs

some supplementing with chlorine, bromine or ionization.

31 - Soft Water: Water that is low in calcium and magnesium hardness
