TABLE OF CONTENTS PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION ..............................................................................................................................................
SIGNIFICANCE OF POOL AND SPA TESTING A major family leisure pursuit is the enjoyment of Swimming Pool and Spa facilities world-wide. A basic necessity of Pool water treatment, to ensure such enjoyment, is to maintain the water in a safe and pleasant condition for the bathers. In order to achieve such an objective, swimming pool water requires testing on daily, and sometimes hourly bases for disinfection residuals and pH.
pH The pH of the water is an important factor since at lower pH the corrosion rate increases. If the alkalinity values are sufficiently high it will not be difficult to control the pH. Most pools managers do prefer to keep the pH between 7.2 and 7.4, that does ensure low corrosion rates and a sufficient activity of chlorine. Langelier Index (LI) The Langelier Index is a powerful tool to calculate the water balance, and to predict corrosion or scaling problems.
SPECIFICATIONS Light Life Light Detector Environment Life of the instrument Silicon Photocell 0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F); max 90% RH non-condensing Power Supply external 12 Vdc power adapter Auto-Shut off built-in rechargeable battery Dimensions 235 x 200 x 110 mm (9.2 x 7.87 x 4.33") Weight 0.9 Kg For specifications related to each single method (e.g. range, resolution, etc.), refer to the related measurement section.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION KEYPAD DESCRIPTION The keypad contains 8 direct keys and 3 functional keys with the following functions: INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION Press to perform the function displayed above it on the LCD. ESC Press to exit the current screen. Press to access the select method menu. Press to move up in a menu or a help screen, to increment a set value, to access second level functions. Press to move down in a menu or a help screen, to decrement a set value, to access second level functions.
(c) take out the syringe and clean the outside of the syringe tip. Be sure that no drops are hanging on the tip of the syringe, if so eliminate them. Then, keeping the syringe in vertical position above the cuvette, push the plunger down into the syringe until the lower edge of the seal is exactly on the 0.5 mL mark. Now the exact amount of 0.5 mL has been added to the cuvette, even if the tip still contains some solution.
• In order to avoid reagent leaking and to obtain more accurate measurements, close the cuvette first with the supplied HDPE plastic stopper and then the black cap. • Each time the cuvette is used, the cap must be tightened to the same degree. • Whenever the cuvette is placed into the measurement cell, it must be dry outside, and free of fingerprints, oil or dirt. Wipe it thoroughly with HI 731318 or a lint-free cloth prior to insertion.
• After the desired method is selected, follow the measurement described in the related section. • Before performing a test you should read all the instructions carefully. DATA MANAGEMENT The instrument features a data log function to help you keep track of all your analysis. The data log can hold 200 individual measurements. Storing, viewing and deleting the data is possible using the LOG and RCL keys.. Storing data: You can store only a valid measurement.
Date / Time This option is used to set the instrument’s date and time. Press the Modify key to change the date/time. Press the ⊳ u functional keys to highlight the value to be modified (year, month, day, hour, minute or second). Use the s t keys to change the value. Press the Accept key to confirm or ESC to return to the setup without saving the new date or time. Instrument ID Time format Option: 0 to 9999. This option is used to set the instrument’s ID (identification number).
• Remove the cuvette. ALKALINITY SPECIFICATIONS Range Resolution Accuracy Typical EMC Deviation Light Source Method 0 to 500 mg/L (as CaCO3) 5 mg/L ±5 mg/L ±10% of reading at 25 °C ±5 mg/L Note: Any chlorine present in the sample will interfere with the reading. To remove the chlorine interference add one drop of HI 93755-53 Chlorine Remover to the unreacted sample. Tungsten lamp with narrow band interference filter @ 575 nm Colorimetric Method.
CALCIUM HARDNESS SPECIFICATIONS Range Resolution Accuracy Typical EMC Deviation Light Source Method • Add 1 drop of HI 93720C-0 EGTA solution to one cuvette (# 1), replace the cap and invert the cuvette several times to mix. This is the blank. 0 to 500 mg/L (as CaCO3) 5 mg/L ±10 mg/L ±5% of reading at 25 °C ±5 mg/L #1 Tungsten lamp with narrow band interference filter @ 525 nm Adaptation of the Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, 18th edition, Calmagite method.
• Press the Unit key to change the current measurement unit. The results can be converted to French degrees (°f), German degrees (°dH) and English degrees (°E). FREE CHLORINE SPECIFICATIONS Range Resolution Accuracy Typical EMC Deviation Light Source Method • Press s or t to return to the measurement screen. Note: This test will detect any calcium contamination in the beaker, measuring syringes or sample cells. To test cleanliness, repeat the test multiple times until you obtain consistent results.
• Press the Zero key. The meter will show “-0.0-” when the meter is zeroed and ready for measurement. TOTAL CHLORINE SPECIFICATIONS Range Resolution • Remove the cuvette. • Add the content of one packet of HI 93701-0 DPD reagent. Replace the cap and shake gently for 20 seconds. Accuracy Typical EMC Deviation Light Source Method • Reinsert the cuvette into the instrument. 0.00 to 5.00 mg/L 0.01 mg/L from 0.00 to 2.50 mg/L; 0.10 mg/L above 2.50 mg/L ±0.03 mg/L ±3% of reading at 25 °C ±0.
• Press the Zero key. The meter will show “-0.0-” when the meter is zeroed and ready for measurement. CYANURIC ACID SPECIFICATIONS Range Resolution • Remove the cuvette. 0 to 200 mg/L 1 mg/L from 0 to 100 mg/L; 10 mg/L above 100 mg/L ±1 mg/L ±15% of reading at 25 °C ±1 mg/L • Add 1 packet of HI 93711-0 DPD reagent. Replace the cap and shake gently for 20 seconds. Accuracy Typical EMC Deviation Light Source Method • Reinsert the cuvette into the instrument.
pH • Add the content of one packet of HI 93722-0 Cyanuric Acid Reagent. Replace the cap and shake gently for about 10 seconds (dissolution is not complete). • Reinsert the cuvette into the instrument. SPECIFICATIONS Range Resolution Accuracy Typical EMC Deviation Light Source Method 6.5 to 8.5 pH 0.1 pH ±0.1 pH at 25 °C ±0.1 pH Tungsten lamp with narrow band interference filter @ 525 nm Adaptation of the Phenol Red method. The reaction with the reagent causes a yellow to red tint in the sample.
