The efficacy of sanitizers, concentration or ORP is highly
dependent on a controlled pH value.
Technology and proper maintenance can keep your spa water fresh and clean.
The most commonly used means for sanitation and treatment of pool water is chlorine because of it’s strong oxidizing properties: it kills bacteria, viruses, other microorganisms, as well as other contaminants very successfully.
It can seem simple, you have water, add chlorine, but how to keep it in balance?
If we talk about oxidation in pool water, most important parameter is ORP: oxidation-reduction potential.
It tells us how effective chlorine or some other oxidizers are in the water.
For measuring ORP we use ORP probes that detects voltage between electrodes and gives us a value whose unit of measurement is milivolts (mV). Oxidizers will show positive mV charge, while contaminants will show negative mV charge. Various ORP controllers or testers can help us in determining the quantity of an oxidizer that is beeing used for sanitation of water. Although optimal concentration levels vary depending on the type of cleaning agent, the ORP level should be maintained between 700 mV and 750 mV for pools and spas.
With chlorine disinfection there is an inverse relationship between pH and ORP.
As the pH level increases, the ORP level decreases.
Why pH is important?
The goal is balancing values between 7.2 and 7.6 pH
Free chlorine can exist in two forms and which form is present is based on the pH.
pH < 7.6 the predominate form is hypochlorous acid (HOCl)
pH > 7.6 the hypochlorite (OCl–) form becomes predominate
This is very important when it comes to preventing biological growth in water or keeping a swimming pool safe since hypochlorous acid is 100 times more effective as a sanitizer. Changes in pH value will affect the HOCl equilibrium in relation to the hydrogen and hypochlorite ions.
To prevent pH from drifting and minimize changes in pH, most important is to keep Alkalinity between 80-150ppm.
There is a variety of HANNA efficient water treatment systems available which can give very positive results together with proper maintenance. To measure pH and ORP value, Hanna Instruments have various devices that can help you in sanitation of pool water. From automated process controllers, to simple hand testers, ensure carefree swimming and pool fun with Hanna Instruments.
BL122 • BL123
pH/ORP Controllers
with Cloud Connectivity
With chlorine disinfection there is an inverse relationship between pH and ORP. As the pH level increases, the ORP level decreases.
The BL120 utilizes a dosing consent feature that will not dose chlorine until the pH value is first corrected since it is possible to have a low ORP value even though there is sufficient chlorine. The dosing consent feature prevents wastage of chemicals and avoids a higher than necessary chlorine concentration.
BL122 and BL123 are designed to maintain constant pH and ORP (disinfectant levels) in swimming pools, hot tubs, and spas and offer the added benefit of allowing remote connection and access to devices via the Hanna Cloud web app. These controllers are available in two configurations. The basic version is the inline model which allows for direct installation of probe and chemical injection fittings into existing piping. A panel mounted version with a bypass fl ow cell is also available. The bypass flow cell allows for calibration and maintenance of the probe without having to shut down the recirculation pump.
Hanna Cloud is a web-based application that connects you to measurement devices such as the BL122 and BL123. Measurements and data storage are accessible from your PC, tablet or phone. Measurements, trends, history, device settings, alarms, and messages are transmitted to your “Dashboard” as your instrument measures and controls your process.
