-
Corrosion

-
Contaminates
Contaminates in swimming pools include any foreign substance or material not naturally found in balanced pool water, of which microorganisms and unwanted organic or inorganic compounds are often grouped.
-

A comparator tube is used to measure and test the level of swimming pool chemicals by adding pool water and adding various chemicals to change the water color to predefined color levels.
-
Combined Chlorine (Chloramine)
Combined chlorine (chloramine) is the irritating and smelly creation of free chlorine with organic and inorganic contaminates in the pool.
-
Chlorine Demand
Chlorine demand is the estimate of chlorine required to meet the consumption demand of microorganisms that consume chlorine.
-
Chlorine Floater
A chlorine floater is a device that floats at the top or slightly submerged, slowly releasing chlorine into the swimming pool water as the water dissolves the chlorine into the water.
-
Chlorine Feeder
A chlorine feeder is used for supplying swimming pools with a constant input of chlorine, replacing what is lost in pool water through oxidation of contaminates and neutralized via sunlight.
