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

biguanide). 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

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

hardness. 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

(ultraviolet) 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 byproducts 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 ionization.

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

hardness. Such water can prove to be corrosive to masonry surfaces

and underwater 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).
