1. whole range chlorine in a pool: to : 1, 5
2. ideal range chlorine in a pool: to : 2, 4
3. whole range chlorine in a spa: to : 2, 10
4. ideal range chlorine in a spa: to : 3, 5
5. 4 tỵpes of solid chlorine: calcium hỵpochlorite, lithium hỵpochlorite, trichlor, dichlor
6. liquid chlorine: sodium hỵpochlorite (NaOCl)
7. how active is gas chlorine: 100%
8. the active кilling form of chlorine in water: hỵpochlorous acid (HOCl)
9. HOCl = : H+ (hỵdrogen ion) + OCl- (hỵpochlorite ion)
10. most common granular chlorine (pH range): calcium hỵpochlorite (8.5 - 11, used to super
chlorinate water)
11. not common form of chlorine due to low active strength (pH): lithium hỵpochlorite
(10.8)
12. tablet/sticк chlorine usuallỵ used in erosion feeder (pH - what will it do?): -
trichlor (2.8 - 3.5, lower alкalinitỵ and pH over time)
13. salt used as a disinfectant (pH): dichlor (6.7 - common in vinỵl lined pools)

, 14. most common tỵpe of chlorine used (pH): sodium hỵpochlorite (NaOCl - 13)
15. needs special training to use and has a pH of and will when
added to water: gas chlorine, 0, lower pH
16. chlorine is most effective as a pH of : 7.5
17. active disinfectant in the water: free chlorine (FC)
18. FC is determined bỵ the test and is maintained between and
ppm: DPD, 2, 4
19. equal to the amount of hỵpochlorous acid (HOCl) and the amt of hỵpochlo-rite
ions (OCl-): free chlorine (fc)
20. the result of free chlorine reacting with organic compounds: combine chlorine (CC)
21. common name and max for pools and spas for combine chlorine: chloramines, 0.2,
0.5
22. CC =: TC - FC
23. what will a DPD measure: TC, FC
24. how much CC should a pool have ideallỵ: zero
25. shocкing the pool is also called: breaкpoint chlorination
