Loss of algicidal chemicals in swimming pools.

چکیده
An interest in the field of algicides for swimming pools has led to a survey of the problems involved in this field. A study of the bactericidal and algicidal properties of some of the chemicals used has been reported (Fitzgerald, 1959) in which it was pointed out that some of the products available show remarkable properties in laboratory tests. The present studies demonstrate how the activity of some chemicals used in swimming pools for algicidal purposes can be affected by the physical and chemical conditions in the swimming pool environment and management. The factors that have been considered are the adsorptive properties of diatomaceous filter media and the precipitation of copper compounds under different conditions in the water. From an understanding of the problems involved in the maintenance of algicidal conditions in swimming pools, it is hoped that the need for the proper application of the excellent algicides available will be appreciated.

Influence of stabilizer concentration on effectiveness of chlorine as an algicide.
Cyanuric acid, used as chlorine stabilizer in swimming pool waters, has a relatively minor effect on the algicidal efficiency of free chlorine. The toxicity of free chlorine to three swimming pool algae was reduced slightly by 25 mg of cyanuric acid per liter if inhibiting, but less than algicidal, concentrations of chlorine were employed. Higher stabilizer concentrations (50, 100, and 200 mg/l...

متن کاملEffect of algicidal quaternaries on the germicidal activity of chlorine on swimming pool water.
The Swimming Pool Water Disinfectant Test Method of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists was used to determine the effect of the accepted level of 2 ppm of some commercial quaternary ammonium algicides on the germicidal activity of chlorine. Accurate determinations on the amounts of residual available chlorine in chlorine-quaternary mixtures could not be made by the usual chemical me...
