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 bigu-

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

25 - Biolm: 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

oating varieties. All are intended to make the application of bromine

easier and more consistent.

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

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

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

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 miner-

als 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.

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 oxidizing

agent. It is used to destroy organic waste and by-products and help in

the control of algae and bacteria. Ozone is not a stand alone sanitizer

and requires the supplementation of chlorine, bromine, minerals, or ion-

ization.

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

Such water can prove to be corrosive to masonry surfaces and under-

water metal parts. The calcium hardness level can be raised, to the

optimum range of 150-200 PPM, by the addition of appropriate amounts

of a calcium hardness increaser (calcium hardness).
