Keeping Your Water Clean
As you probably know, the occasional addition of new water -- or wholesale water replacement in the case of spas -- isn't enough to keep the water clean and clear of unwanted and often microscopic contaminants.
But worry not! Pool and spa chemists have spent years developing a variety of tests and chemical-treatment methods to keep your pool and spa safe and sparkling clean.
Your goals here are water sanitation and water balance. In other words, you want your levels of sanitizers (such as chlorine or bromine) and your levels of pH, total alkalinity, water hardness and total dissolved solids to all fall within acceptable limits.
And learning to keep these areas in check isn't as complicated as it may seem. To simplify things, we'll explain the relevant topics one at a time.
FYI: The acceptable range of bromine for your pool or spa is from 2.0 to 4.0 ppm.
A final note: When using bromine as your sanitizer, you will need to occasionally shock the water with large doses of another chemical to oxidize waste material still in the water. (We'll explain this in more detail below.)
Alternative Sanitizers
Although chlorine and bromine are the most commonly used sanitizers, there are a few alternatives available to also consider. One such alternative is a chlorine generator.
Wait, we just discused chlorine! How is this product different?
The liquid or granular chlorine most people are familiar with is added directly to pool or spa water or dispensed through a feeder or similar automated system. Chlorine generators, conversely, actually create chlorine in the pool or spa without you having to measure out any chemicals.
These generators are electrical devices that manufacture chlorine from salt added to the water. The resulting chlorine gas is then put directly into the water through the circulation system.
Chlorine generators create a residual, which can be tested with a DPD or OTO test kit. (These
Another alternative sanitizing source is ozone. No, it's not just the atmospheric layer that protects us from the sun's harmful rays. Rather, the ozone used in pools and spas is a modified version of that gaseous oxygen.
To its advantage, ozone works quite well as a
Because it cannot create a residual, an ozonator must be used in conjunction with small amounts of chlorine or bromine -- how much chlorine or bromine depends on how long the ozonator is run each day.
One other common kind of sanitizing equipment is an ionizer. This system introduces silver and copper into your pool or spa water through the circulation process. It works well as a sanitizer but does require the addition of an oxidizer.
Oxidizers
OK, you've been reading about oxidizers and oxidizing -- and still have no idea what they are or what they do. Let's find out.
Oxidizers work with sanitizers to rid your pool and spa water of pollutants. By definition, sanitizers kill things like algae and bacteria but they work very slowly and inefficiently when trying to remove waste products such as sweat, skin oil, shampoos, soap and urine. This is where you need separate oxidizers.
Oxidizers destroy these undesirables. They do their part by breaking down the contaminant's structure, rendering them vulnerable. The sanitizers can then attack and kill the organisms.
Some products, such as chlorine, act as both a sanitizer and an oxidizer. Bromine, on the other hand, does not oxidize very well and therefore needs the aid of a separate oxidizing chemical to properly clean your pool and spa water.
The marriage of sanitizers and oxidizers is an almost foolproof method of keeping invaders out of your pool and spa water.

AMMONIA
- Sources
- Excretion by fish and other livestock as a normal part of their metabolism
- The breakdown of protein in uneaten food or dead livestock that remains undetected.
intervals.
2. Chemistry
As ammonia is released into the water by either of these processes it may take one of two
forms:
- Free Ammonia (unionised ammonia, chemical symbol NH3). This form of ammonia is
highly toxic to fish - Ammonium (ionised ammonia, chemical symbol NH4+).This form of ammonia is
Disease management in ornamental fish
However, the names commonly given to disease problems encountered by ornamental fish hobbyists, such as ‘dropsy’, ‘pop-eye’, ‘fin rot’ and so on, are mostly descriptions of symptoms rather than specific diseases. They may be caused by a wide range of disease agents, most of which are very poorly understood. Although some diseases such as ‘white spot disease’ can cause grossly visible signs in fish, the actual cause cannot be determined without the aid of a microscope, or other specialist diagnostic test. A veterinarian should therefore be consulted for disease diagnosis, and gross signs alone should not be used to diagnose disease in fish.
The keys to minimising disease problems in ornamental tanks and ponds are to manage the fishes’ environment to minimise stress, to maintain water quality, and to always quarantine live foods and new fish before adding them to the tank.
Finally, great care must be taken in disposing of dead fish, waste water or other materials from fish tanks, as many diseases of ornamental fish can spread into the wild and affect native fish populations. For example, Murray cod were recently found to be highly susceptible to a dwarf gourami iridovirus, an outbreak of which caused 90% losses in farmed Murray cod in Victoria. Similarly, outdoor fish ponds should be carefully sited and built to prevent overflows from reaching natural waterways.

make money from internet
It was first that I did not know about google adsense, I knew from the seminar that in held by Al-khazam an association of the campus that was active in the Islam religious activity. Indeed I had heard about produced money through the internet but I did not yet know how caranya. nah in this seminar was explained how to produce money through the internet.. evidently to produce money through our internet must register beforehand in google adsense, apart from in google adsense also was amazon. respectively the provider of this service had the different provisions. When in google adsanse the income someone was seen from the number of visitors who visited his site, another when the list in amazon. the income someone was seen from many him the person who bought the thing from the Amazon that was put forward by the owner of the site.. Now the decision is on your hands.. Want to produced through google adsense or amozon???
