New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 10 - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH › Chapter I - State Sanitary Code › Part 6 - Swimming Pools, Bathing Beaches And Recreational Aquatic Spray Grounds › Subpart 6-1 - Swimming Pools › Operation, Supervision and Maintenance › Section 6-1.30 - Saturation index for swimming pools

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
Saturation index is equal to the pH plus a temperature
						factor, plus a calcium hardness factor, plus an alkalinity factor, minus the
						constant 12.1.
S.I. = pH + TF + CF + AF - 12.1
The optimum saturation index is zero.
Tolerance limits are plus or minus 0.5.
If the index is positive (+), the water is
						super-saturated with CaCO3 and may deposit a protective
						coating or scale in the pipeline, particularly metal filters, valves and
						pumps.
If the index is negative (-), water will dissolve
						CaCO3 and may be corrosive.

Example:
Given temperature 68°, total

						pH = 7.8 S.I. = pH + TF + *CF + AF - 12.1
						* (Calcium hardness - 0.70 × 200 = 140 mg/l.) S.I. =
						7.8 + 0.52 + 1.76 + 1.22 - 12.1 = (-)0.8 Therefore, the water is
						corrosive................
Note:
Saturation index must be
						maintained slightly on the positive side within the tolerance limits.
Normal Control Levels:
pH: 7.4 - 7.8
free chlorine: 0.6 (minimum)
temperature: 78° - 80° (indoor)
saturation index: (-)0.5 - (+)0.5
total alkalinity: 80 - 120 mg/l
calcium hardness: 180 - 250 mg/l
Alkalinity control:
to increase - 1 1/2 lb of sodium bicarbonate NaHCO
						3 baking soda will raise the alkalinity of 10,000
						gallons of water by 10 mg/l.
to lower - add muriatic acid no more than one pint ( 1/8
						gallon) per 5,000 gallons of pool water will lower alkalinity by 12 mg/l (or,
						add 1.25 lb of sodium bisulfate).
pH:
to increase - use soda ash.
to decrease - muriatic acid or sodium bisulfate.
Hardness Control: Calcium hardness is assumed to be 70%
						of total hardness.
to increase - 1 lb of calcium chloride will raise the
						calcium hardness of 10,000 gallons of water by 11 mg/l. It should be added in
						small amounts. To lower, dilute with soft water.

					 conspicuously posted at all entrances leading to the bathing beach. The placard
					 shall state the authority for its placement and indicate that concealment,
					 mutilation, alteration or removal of it by any person without permission of the
					 permit-issuing official shall constitute a violation of this Chapter and the
					 Public Health Law.

					 designated hearing officer.
(4) The
					 permit-issuing official or his designated representative shall inspect the
					 premises, within two working days of notification that the hazard has been
					 eliminated, to remove the placards after verifying the correction.
