4 Pools & Spas Swimming and bathing are without doubt some of the most popular leisure activities, whether at school, in a competitive environment, for exercise or simply relaxation. The concept of "Wellness has created a new trend; wellness enthusiasts are people who have made a conscious decision to stay fit and active with the aim of achieving/maintaining good health and a general feeling of well-being and attaining harmony of body, mind and soul. In order to achieve this goal, people make wide-ranging use of swimming pools, spas, and many other similar facilities. Regardless of the motivation for swimming and similar activities, people attach great importance to clean and hygienic water both indoors and out. Water Treatment and Water Testing State-of-the-art water treatment is an essential precondition for safe and healthy bathing and swimming whether in private or public facilities. In order to satisfy health-related criteria while maintaining the value of such a facility, the golden rule for water treatment is "as much as necessary and as little as possible. It goes without saying that the main water quality parameters need to be checked on a regular basis in order to ensure an optimum water treatment programme in changing operating conditions. If testing shows that the hygiene-related parameters deviate from the target values or recommended limit values, the operator can immediately take corrective action to avoid potential risks to health before such risks are allowed to arise. And this is where the system of Lovibond water testing equipment and reagents comes into play. The Lovibond range of instruments provides operators of private and public baths with analysis systems that measure the actual condition and quality of the water with maximum precision. Moreover, the Lovibond systems succeed in reconciling the seemingly irreconcilable goals of easy handling, safe reagents offering long-term stability, high detection accuracy, and reproducibility of results. We hope you will find the information on the following pages convincing. 4 Pool & Spa Water Testing - January 2015

9 Water Treatment Rapid Tests ph value The ph value of pool & spa water should generally be between the slightly acidic value of 6.5 and the slightly basic value of 7.6. Due to the use of various water treatment chemicals as well as ambient environmental effects, pool owners have to determine the ph of the water and correct the value as necessary. Disinfection Nowadays, pool owners can choose from a range of modern water treatment agents that are often used in combination. These water treatment chemicals are only effective within a limited ph range. Therefore in addition to checking the concentration of the water treatment chemicals, the owner/ operator should also monitor the ph value of pool water and adjust it if necessary. Minitester The Minitester with an interchangeable colour comparison chart is a competitively priced starter unit with one measuring chamber for the determination of either chlorine, bromine, active oxygen and the ph value. Three-Chamber Tester The Three-Chamber Tester with an interchangeable colour comparison chart is a competitively priced unit for the determination of disinfectants and the ph value. Pooltester The Pooltester allows simultaneous determination of the most popular water treatment agents and the ph value.

13 The Methods The Minikits are developed for fast testing, mainly based on titrimetric methods Rapid Tests Photo: Elsebad, Schwerte, Tablet count method A specific number of tablets is added to a known volume of sample until a chemically induced colour change takes place. The number of tablets used is applied to a simple formula to calculate the test result. The measuring range may be expanded by varying the sample volume. Speed test The speed test is based on reverse titration. After adding a reagent tablet to a calibrated test tube, the water sample is added slowly until the colour of the solution changes (e.g. from red to blue). The user can then obtain the result from the liquid level. Yes/No test A Yes/No test tells the user whether a specific ingredient is present in the water and/or if its concentration is higher or lower than a defined level. Turbidity method A two-section calibrated test tube is filled with the water sample and a reagent tablet added. The reagent creates a level of turbidity that is proportional to the concentration of the parameter being measured. The inner tube, which has a black dot on its base, is lowered until the dot is obscured by the turbidity. The result is read off from the water level in the inner tube.

15 Scuba II Every pool owner should check the most important parameters in his pool at regular intervals. This is the only way to ensure that water quality is maintained at an right level and to arrange dosing in an optimum manner. Technical Data Optics power supply temperature-compensated LED (λ = 530 nm) and photo-sensor 2 batteries (AAA), capacity minimum 500 tests Highlights Modern, ergonomic design User friendly handling The Scuba II enables the operator to check the pool water quickly and accurately. The integrated sample chamber filled by immersing it in the water. A tablet reagent is added and generates a characteristic colour which can be measured using the photometric principle. The result is then displayed on the screen. Five parameters, free chlorine, total chlorine, ph, alkalinity and cyanuric acid are measured within a few minutes. Water analysis becomes a pleasure rather than a chore and more time is left for enjoying the pleasure of the pool. If the Scuba II falls into the water it will simply float and, of course, it is watertight. Why not try this compact test equipment after all, the knowledge that you are safe in a thoroughly hygienic pool is worth a little effort.

35 Pool & Spa Water Testing - January

36 Photometry The History Several decades have passed since the appearance of the first Lovibond PC 100 photometer system. Since that time, Tintometer has become a world-famous name as the manufacturer of photometer systems sold under the brand name of Lovibond. Our range of photometer systems extends from the MD 100 as hand-held model over the multi parameter photometer MD 200 as desktop model to the SpectroDirect spectrophotometer for laboratories. The multi-functional pm 600, pm 620 & pm 630 photometers provide the answer to all requirements relating to the analysis of water used in modern swimming pools and baths. They offer a wide variety of pre-programmed methods and are therefore suitable for the demands of modern water analysis. All the parameters which can be measured with Lovibond photometer systems are set out in the table. This table also explains what parameters can be measured with which photometer. parameter Acid Capacity KS4.3 Alkalinity-M (total) Aluminium Ammonia Bromine Calcium Hardness Chlorine Chlorine Dioxide Copper Cyanuric acid Hydrogen Peroxide Iodine MD 100 MD 200 PM 620 & PM 630 PM 600 MD 100 MD 200 PM Photometer 36 Pool & Spa Water Testing - January 2015

37 parameter MD 100 MD 200 PM 620 & PM 630 Iron (Fe 2+, Fe 3+ ), soluble Langelier Water Balance Oxygen, active Ozone ph value PHMB (Biguanides) Phosphate PM 600 The photometric principle When specific reagents are added, the water sample takes on a degree of coloration that is proportional to the concentration of the parameter being measured. The photometer measures this coloration. When a light beam passes through the coloured sample, energy with a specific wavelength is absorbed by the test substance. The photometer determines the coloration of the sample by measuring the transmission or absorption of light of this wavelength (in other words, monochromatic light). The photometer then uses a microprocessor to calculate the required concentration and displays the result.

39 The MD 100 uses high quality interference filters with long-life LEDs as a light source in a transparency sample chamber. The units supply accurate, reproducible results very quickly. Other major advantages include ease of operation, ergonomic design, compact dimensions and safe handling. Using an internal ring memory the last 16 data sets are stored automatically with date, time, parameter and measurement value. The tests are conducted using either Lovibond tablet reagents, with long-term stability and a guaranteed minimum 5 or 10 year shelf life, VARIO powder reagents or using liquid reagents. Scroll Memory To avoid unnecessary scrolling for the required test method, the instrument memorizes the last method used before switching off the instrument. When the instrument is switched on again, the scroll list comes up with the last used test method first. Zero Setting (OTZ) It is not necessary to zero the instrument each time. The zero setting is held in memory until the device is turned off (One Time Zero - OTZ). The zero setting can be confirmed whenever it is required.

48 Reagents History For several decades, Tintometer has been manufacturing reagents for water testing and marketing these reagents around the world under the brand name Lovibond. Different forms of reagents are required for different fields of application. It is fair to say that, in terms of quality, tablet reagents are the best form of reagent. Thanks to production techniques of the type used in the pharmaceutical industry and stringent internal quality standards, Tintometer is able to produce tablet reagents for water testing with a guaranteed shelf life of 5 or 10 years. These tablets are individually sealed in high-grade, polyethylene-coated aluminium foil and represent the reagent form of choice for everyday water testing applications. Users in different countries traditionally prefer forms of reagent other than tablets. Lovibond powder reagents are designed to allow fast and easy testing. Powder reagents are packed in aluminium foil for a wide range of applications and represent an alternative reagent form recently introduced by Tintometer. Last but not least, liquid reagents are indispensable for many testing tasks. Testing for substances that are hard to detect, for parameters like total nitrogen, or for the aggregate parameter COD, require the use of a wide range of reagents in a form that permits more "aggressive sample processing. The Lovibond programme is rounded off by reagent tests and tube tests, making Tintometer the only reagent producer in the world that offers a complete range of reagent forms. Tablets The test tablets are manufactured in Germany under tightly controlled conditions on the latest machinery. Maintaining the highest quality standards permits Tintometer to guarantee our tablet reagents for a minimum of 5 years, and some for as long as 10 years. We can make this promise because each tablet is hermetically sealed, protecting against challenging environmental conditions. This packaging keeps each tablet in perfect condition, right up until the time it is needed by the user. Test tablets remain the most consistent and reliable reagent format available, consistently outperforming other reagent formats, and delivering maximum accuracy for the user. The aluminium foil blister packaging brings added convenience to the tradition of protection achieved in the Lovibond long established tablet production technology. With the blister strip, the user just pushes the tablet through the protective foil, straight into the sample. Simple, time-saving and practical. This type of packaging, long established in pharmaceutical applications, combines all the advantages of protective foil, with convenience for the user. Each tablet is contained within an individually formed foil cup, lined with the latest aluminium composite material, and guaranteeing product performance. There are no safety risks if the tablets are used in line with the instructions supplied. Safety data sheets are available for all reagents. Specification and Certificate of Analysis To express the high quality standard of Lovibond tablet reagents, specification for each type of tablet as well as a Certificate of Analysis for each lot is available in the down-load area at Liquids As a rule, liquid reagents do not consist of a single preparation but comprise several components that need to be added to the sample in a certain order. As both the size and the number of drops have a decisive effect on the resultant colour complex, the reagents need to be added with a high degree of precision. The useful life of liquid reagents is reduced by temporary contact with oxygen in the air when the bottle is opened as well as by unsuitable storage environments (presence of sunlight or high temperatures). Provided that the bottles are stored within the temperature range +6 C to +10 C, the Lovibond DPD and Phenol Red solutions can be used for a period of two years from the production date Pool & Spa Water Testing - January 2015

49 VARIO Powder Packs The fast and easy use of VARIO Powder Packs has made them extremely popular for water testing applications in many countries throughout the world. The Lovibond Powder Pack programme provides users with a real alternative to existing measurement systems. The Vario Powder Packs are produced to the same high quality standards that have made Tintometer's tablet reagents so successful for several decades. Parameters from aluminium and chlorine through to sulphate are just some of the well-known tests that are included in the VARIO Powder Pack range. Membrane filter set For use when preparing samples for photometric measurements, e.g. for water analysis in natural swimming ponds. Advantage removes turbid materials from samples 0.45 µm mesh meets the requirements of the official German unitary procedure for water testing To prevent the effects of light scatter, it must be ensured that all turbid materials are removed from the sample before photometric measurements are carried out. This can be achieved with the Lovibond membrane filter set.

56 Natural Swimming Ponds A natural swimming pond looks like a natural garden pond, but is specifically designed to swim in clean, pure water with no chemicals in it. The difference between a swimming pond and a swimming pool is that a swimming pool uses chemicals such as chlorine to kill bacteria, whereas a swimming pond cleanses the water naturally. It uses the purifying properties of plants, a filter to extract surface debris such as leaves, and a pump to keep the water circulating through the planting area. Nevertheless, the water quality has to be checked regularly to make sure that the bathers are safe under all circumstances, e.g. microorganism and other biological, chemical and physical components.

57 Bathing Water This applies to any water where the authorities expect a large number of people to bathe and has not imposed a permanent bathing prohibition, or issued advice against bathing. It is the responsibility of the authorities to identify and assess causes of pollution that might affect bathing waters and impair bathers health during the bathing season. The basis for the control of all public used natural swimming ponds is the European Directive "2006/7/EG of the European Parliament, dated 15th February The Directive is valid since 24th March Microbiology Escherichia coli Enterococci Pseudomonas aeroginosa Legionella pneumophila Cyano bacteria Parasites e.g. Cryptosporidia Photo: Grafinger, Chemical and physical characteristics Dissolved Oxygen Dissolved oxygen is probably the most critical quality variable in the water. Oxygen levels in pond systems depend on water temperatures, the water salinity, and the amount of aquatic vegetation and animals. ph-value The ph-value is the determination of the hydrogen ion (H + ) concentration in water. The ph scale ranges from 0-14 with a ph of 7 being neutral. A ph below 7 is acidic and a ph of above 7 is basic. An optimal ph range is between 6.5 and 8.5, however it should not be lower than ph5 or above ph9. ph will vary depending on a number of factors. The ph may rise during the day as phytoplankton and other aquatic plants remove CO 2 from the water during photosynthesis. The ph decreases at night because of respiration and production of CO 2 by organisms. The fluctuation of ph levels will depend on algae levels as well. Temperature Temperature will affect all chemical and biological processes. Temperature therefore has a direct effect on important factors such as growth and oxygen demand. The higher the temperature, the greater the requirement for oxygen and the faster the growth rate of the plants. Ammonia Ammonia is produced from the decomposition of organic wastes resulting in the breakdown of decaying organic matter such as algae and plants. Ammonia levels will depend on the temperature of the water and its ph. For example at a higher temperature and ph, a greater number of ammonium ions are converted into ammonia gas thus causing an increase in toxic ammonia levels within the freshwater. Nutrient levels Nutrient levels refer to the amount of phosphorus and nitrogen that are present in the water. Increased levels of nutrients may be harmful. It can cause excessive plankton growth, potential blue-green algae and oxygen depletion. See Lovibond General Catalogue, no.: Order your free copy!

64 Turbidity Measurement Photo: Schwimmbad & Sauna, The term "turbidity is used to describe the cloudiness or milkiness of water. In physical terms, turbidity is due to particles of varying sizes scattering or absorbing light, giving the water in question a cloudy appearance. This turbidity is caused by suspended particles such as sludge, limestone, yeast or microorganisms. The phenomenon of turbidity is measured using optoelectronic meters. An artificial light source emits a known intensity of light through a sample. The suspended particles scatter or absorb the light. The scattered light is then recorded on a photodetector. Scattered light is generally measured at an angle of 90. This measurement principle is known as nephelometry. The results are expressed in terms of FNU (Formazin Nephelometric Units) - identical with NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) and TE/F (Turbidity Units Formazin) Pool & Spa Water Testing - January 2015

66 Pool Software Highlights Analyses water balance Set parameter boundaries specific to your customer Customizable for up to 9,999 customers, 99 pools per customer Recommends chemical dosing Suitable for domestic and public pools Can be used independently of PM 600/620 with manual readings The Lovibond pool software is an ideal tool for commercial pool operators to measure pool parameters, analyse the results and propose the recommended treatments. Customizable for up to 9,999 customers and 99 pools per customer, the pool software provides a self-contained unit for operators on-the-road. Photo: Elsebad, Schwerte, Designed to enhance the functionality of the Lovibond PM 600/620 photometers, the pool software analyses all the essential pool parameters required for Balanced Water. Once the analysis has been made, the software then automatically tries to restore the water s balance; recommending the required chemical dosing to bring the water as close as possible to zero on the Langelier Saturation Index. Operators can rest assured their customers are accurately informed and the right amount of chemicals are administered. Order code: Pool & Spa Water Testing - January 2015

67 The pool software can either be used as an integrated software tool with the Lovibond PM photometers or as a stand-alone application to analyse the Balanced Water parameters of swimming pools. Designed originally to enhance the functionality of the PM photometerss, AquaMATE downloads the measured parameter information via an infrared modem, stores the data to a PC and builds a series of tests which are then allocated to a specific swimming pool of a particular customer. This data, together with the swimming pool configuration data, can then be used to interpret the water quality and analyse which parameter corrections are required and what chemical dosing is recommended. When used independently of the PM photometers, the operator can either enter the values via the built-in tools or manually enter the measurement results. The pool software has been designed as a modular application so multi user interfaces may be displayed on screen at any one time by selecting the icons as depicted below: General configuration The General Configuration Module enables the user to: Select the User Interface language: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish. Enter customer data as it should appear on the header of printed documents. Preview capability is available. Set the parameter boundaries for Chlorine and Bromine treated swimming pools respectively per category. The categories are: Private Pools Residential Pools Hotels, Schools, Camps, Vacation Resort Pools Public Pools The parameter boundaries for selection are: Free or Available Chlorine, Combined Chlorine, Total Bromine, ph and Cyanuric Acid. Customer file In the Customer File, the user can store, modify or delete Customer and Pool data. It can contain up to 9,999 customers and 99 pools per customer. Product configuration The Product configuration module allows the user to add and remove chemical products that might be required to correct the water balance. These are acids and bases needed to lower or raise the ph and/or Total Alkalinity, chemicals used to raise the Calcium Hardness and Cyanuric Acid required for protecting chlorine from UV depletion. Data transfer from photometer This module allows the user to import test data from the PM photometers to the PC. If a Photometer is not available or additional test results have to be added (such as Temperature or TDS), it is possible to do this manually. Water balance The Water Balance module enables the user to interpret the pool water quality through a given set of parameters and modify a certain number of water parameters in manual or automatic mode. In manual mode, after setting the start parameters, the user can raise or lower the ph or Total Alkalinity (TA), the Calcium Hardness (CH) and/ or increase the Cyanuric Acid (CA) concentration. Scrollbars and textboxes can be used to alter parameter values. Provided that all necessary parameter values are available, the Langelier Saturation Index (SI) is calculated continuously when changes in one of the values occur. In automatic mode, the software tries to restore the water balance by trying to equalise the SI to zero or a value as close as possible to zero. It takes into account the parameter boundaries set in the General Configuration module and the possible choice of products (chemicals) and their availability. Once the start parameters have been set, clicking on the Restore water balance button opens a new window with dosage instructions or information about the failure to improve the water balance. Handy tools Chlorine dosage Enables the user to calculate the amount of a selected Chlorine donor needed to raise the free or available free Chlorine concentration to the desired level. Acid demand Enables the user to calculate the quantity of acid needed to reduce the ph of the pool water to a certain value using the commonly named acid demand method. phosphate removal Calculates the quantity of Phosphate remover (Lanthanum compounds) needed to either reach zero Phosphate or the desired low level. Salt chlorination Analyses the amount of salt to be added to the pool water in order to restore the ideal concentration of salt according to the salt chlorination equipment producer s specifications.
