APPENDIX 3 -- DEFINITIONS

Aggressive Water: Water with corrosive properties due to low pH, calcium hardness, and/or total alkalinity. If the pH is lower than the standard stated used, then that is too aggressive.

Aquatic Facility Operator: An individual who has satisfied the 18-hour course designed to provide information and training for both supervisory and operations personnel responsible for operating clean, safe and efficient facilities in public, hotel, condo, semi-public and municipal pool or water park facilities. Certification is valid for 3 years.

Bio-Based Products: means a product determined by the Secretary of Agriculture to be a commercial or industrial product (other than food or feed) that is composed, in whole or in significant part, of biological products or renewable domestic agricultural materials (including plant, animal, and marine materials) or forestry materials OR an intermediate feedstock.

Calcium Hardness: The calcium portion of the total hardness. The level of calcium determines whether water is overly “soft” (too little) or “hard” (too much). Excessively high hardness levels (over 600 ppm) may cause cloudy water and scale. Excessively low levels (under 150 ppm) may harm the pool.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Gas: This gas is used to lower the pH level in water.

Certified Pool & Spa Operator: Individual who has satisfied the class work requirements and demonstrated knowledge of course material by passing the examination administered by National Swimming Pool Foundation certified instructors. Certification is valid for 5 years.

Clarity: The degree of transparency of pool water. Determined by the ability to see the deep end pool drain when standing at the shallow end of pool or by use of a turbidity meter.

Combined Chlorine: The chemical species that forms when chlorine chemically bonds to nitrogen-containing compounds like urine, perspiration, dead algae, etc. Combined chlorine can cause eye and skin irritation and has a strong chlorine-like order.

Dilution or Water replacement: Replacing all or some of the water is primarily because over time, salt from perspiration and other non-organic contaminants--the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) will increase to levels causing cloudiness or other problems. Although organics are destroyed by your sanitizer system, TDS levels continue to increase over time. It is commonly recommended that the TDS should not exceed 1500 ppm (mg/L) higher than the TDS when the pool or spa was started up.

Disinfection: The process of destroying micro-organisms that might cause disease.

Down Time: Non-operational time. Main pool downtime is calculated by the Aquatic Center total operational hours divided by 5%. For example, 262 monthly hours / 5% = 13 hours monthly downtime. Wader pool and in-ground hot tub down time are calculated by Aquatic Center total operational hours divided by 10%. For example, 262 monthly hours / 10% = 26 hours monthly downtime. Monthly operational hours are subject to change and down time calculations will be adjusted accordingly. Downtime calculations for the purpose of performance thresholds will only be inclusive outages that are a direct result of contractor action or negligence. Downtime that is a result of equipment failure will not be included in performance threshold calculations. Downtime is exclusively related to a failure of the contractor to properly operate the system. Because it is a contractor related failure, the contractor’s response time will be included in the overall downtime calculation. For example: the contractor performs his routine maintenance Wednesday morning at 8:00am, and then the pool goes down at 10:00am because the chemical levels were not properly adjusted. If it takes the contractor 2 hours to respond to the pool and another hour to fix his mistake the overall downtime will be calculated to be 3 hours.

Emergency Service Call: When a problem exists within the three bodies of water, causing a pool to be nonoperational.

Free Chlorine Residual: The portion of total chlorine that is not combined chlorine and is available as disinfectant. The portion of total chlorine that reacts with Diethyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPD).

Green Seal Organization: Green Seal is a non-profit organization that uses science-based programs to empower consumers, purchasers and companies to create a more sustainable world.

Materials: On a Time and Material Contract chemicals and parts are considered materials.

Oxidation: The process of changing the chemical structure of water contaminants by increasing the number of oxygen atoms or reducing the number of electrons in the contaminant.

Oxidation Reduction Potential (a.k.a. ORP): A method of measuring the potential, which often relates to the concentration of an oxidizer in the water. ORP probes send signals to electrical controllers that can open valves on chemical feeders to dissolve and release disinfectants into the water.

pH: The negative logarithm of the hydrogen-ion concentration of a water solution. A measure of the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a solution. A pH below 7.0 is considered acid. A pH above 7.0 is considered alkaline.

Sanitary Water Condition: Achieved by proper use of a disinfectant and is free of almost all pathogens as specified in chapter 5 of the National Swimming Pool Foundation Pool and Spa Operator Handbook.

Routine Maintenance: Maintenance scheduled in advance during normal duty hours to ensure systems remain operational. Maintenance is preventative in nature and not the response to a system failure.

Routine Service Call: In the case of a malfunction of a chlorination system during normal duty hours the contractor will be required to respond within four (4) hours to troubleshoot and correct the malfunction.

Scale: Calcium carbonate deposits that can be found deposited in the filter, heater, or on the pool tile or wall. Generally caused by high calcium hardness, total alkalinity, temperature, and/or pH.

Shock treatment: The addition of an immediately available oxidizing disinfectant, routinely or as an intervention. A shock chemical must be effective against a wide variety of pathogens and nuisance microorganisms with a reasonable CT factor. The CT factor is the product of the residual disinfectant concentration [C] in mg/L and time [T] in minutes that the disinfectant is in contact with the water. In addition, a shock chemical should be capable of destroying organic contaminants and nitrogen compounds with a reasonable reaction time.

· Routine shock involves raising free-chlorine levels to a minimum of 10 mg/L for one to four hours weekly for pools and daily for spas.

· Intervention shock, for a water quality problem (e.g., accidental fecal release, algae, clarity, eye irritation), involves raising the free-chlorine residual to 20 mg/L for an eight-hour period when bathers are not present.

Super chlorination: The practice of adding large quantities of a chlorinating chemical to kill algae and microorganisms, eliminate slime, destroy odors, or improve the ability to maintain a disinfectant residual.

Total Alkalinity: A measure of the ability of the water to maintain a desirable pH when acid is added to the water. This value is usually expressed as the equivalent amount of calcium carbonate in either mg/L or ppm.

Total Dissolved Solids: The amount of residue that would remain if all the water evaporated or was removed. Expressed as the mass of solid per the total initial volume of water (ppm or mg/L). Typically measure by electrical conductance.

Turbidity: A measure of the amount of solid particles that are suspended in water and that caused light rays shining through the water to scatter and appear cloudy. In pool/spa water testing a standard reagent is added to a known sample of water. The reagent reacts with the unknown concentration of the sample causing the sample to turn cloudy in proportion to the concentration. The cloudiness or turbidity is then measured by use of a calibrated cell. Clarity and turbidity have a reverse relationship: the more turbidity, the less clarity.
