3.03 WATER TREATMENT AND BALANCING

Immokalee Outdoor Aquatic Complex 13 11 14-3 Job # 23499

A. Obtain a chemical analysis of the source/pool make-up water supply from a location as close as possible to the actual pool autofill. Conduct laboratory testing for the following parameters:

1. Total Alkalinity [Parts per Million (ppm)]

2. pH

3. Calcium Hardness [ppm]

4. Free Chlorine [ppm] & Combined Chlorine [ppm]

5. Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) [ppm]

6. Iron (Must test to a lower detectable limit of <=0.05 ppm)

7. Manganese (Must test to a lower detectable limit of <=0.01 ppm)

8. Copper (Must test to a lower detectable limit of <=0.1 ppm)

9. Cyanuric Acid (CYA) [ppm]

B. The following are ideal ranges for the water analysis test results. If results fall outside these ranges the Contractor shall make chemical adjustments to the water during the pool filling process until values within the ideal ranges are obtained.

1. Total Alkalinity: 80-100 ppm (for high pH disinfectants) 100-120 ppm (for low pH disinfectants)

2. pH: 7.4-7.6

3. Calcium Hardness: 200-400 ppm (Pools), 150-250 ppm (Spas)

4. Free Chlorine: 2.0-4.0 ppm & Combined Chlorine: 0.0-0.2 ppm

5. Total Dissolved Solids: Acceptable Start-up Range is not applicable (Maintain future TDS levels to within 1500 ppm above the start-up measurement)

6. Temperature: Ideal Range is +-2 degrees F from the desired pool operating water temperature.

7. Iron: <=0.05 ppm

8. Manganese: <=0.01 ppm

9. Copper: <=0.1 ppm

C. Contractor shall calculate the Langlier Saturation Index (LSI) using values from the water analysis. The formula for LSI is shown below. Calculations may be made easier using through use of Orenda Technologies Mobil App, or a similar calculator. The LSI values shall fall within an acceptable “balanced” range of -0.3 to +0.5. If the LSI is outside this range OR test values are outside the ideal range listed above, the Pool Contractor shall prepare to add chemicals to the pool water volume as required until all parameters are within the ideal ranges previously listed, and the LSI is considered “balanced”. Contractor is responsible for calculating required chemical additions and for adding all adjustment chemicals up until the time of project completion. Owner is responsible for providing the chemicals.

LSI Equation:

LSI = (pH) + (Temperature factor) + (Calcium factor) + (Alkalinity factor) – (TDS factor) LSI = pH+Tf+Cf+Af-TDSf

Af: The Alkalinity Factor is determined by correcting the Total Alkalinity for Cyanuric Acid (CYA) to find the Carbonate Total Alkalinity. To make this correction, subtract 1/3 of the measured CYA from the total alkalinity. Then use the corrected Carbonate Total Alkalinity to determine the Alkalinity factor (Af).

[Carbonate TA =TA-(CYA/3)]

Immokalee Outdoor Aquatic Complex 13 11 14-4 Job # 23499

D. Contractor shall provide a submittal to the Engineer/Architect after receiving the water analysis. Submittal shall include the following:

2. LSI Calculation,

3. Chemical adjustment calculations indicating the following:

a. Pool Volume

b. Chemical Parameters requiring adjustment

c. Chemicals required to make the adjustments

d. Calculations showing amounts of each chemical addition that is required

E. Contractor shall provide list of required balancing chemicals with quantities to the Owner for Owner purchase immediately after receiving the approved submittal from the Engineer/Architect.

F. The Owner shall be responsible for payment of water required to fill each pool one time for leak testing and a second time for the final pool start-up process. The Contractor shall be responsible for payment of any additional water and chemicals required due to draining and refilling of pools as needed for pool or pool piping repairs.

G. Contractor shall make chemical adjustments to the pool water during the pool startup process based on calculations provided in the approved submittal. It is critical to keep the pool water clean and balanced during the initial fill and while the pool plaster finish is curing. Follow all recommendations of the National Pool Plasterers Council for initial adjustments required during the plaster cure time. See additional requirements in Pool Finish Specification Section/s.

H. Stabilize pool water to within a range of 5 to 15 ppm maximum of cyanuric acid (CYA).

I. Heat pool water to within 5 degrees Fahrenheit of the desired pool operating temperature.

Once this temperature is attained, the Pool Contractor shall enter the chemical controller settings for all chemical parameters. Do not enter chemical controller settings prior to reaching the desired pool operating temperature range.
