XXIV. GLOSSARY

Anions Negatively charged ions.

See Solution Characteristics, pg. 40.

Algorithm A procedure for solving a mathematical problem.

See Temperature Compensation and TDS Derivation,

pg. 41.

FAC Free Available Chlorine. The amount of chlorine that

remains active in solution and is available for ongoing

disinfection. See Free Chlorine as an Indicator, pg. 45.

™ directly measures ORP, the germ killing

property of chlorine and other oxidizing germicides.

It displays both the ORP reading (in mVDC) as well

as an equivalent free chlorine concentration (in

familiar ppm). For more information see FC

™

Groundbreaking Measurement of Free Chlorine

Disinfecting Power in a Hand-Held Instrument on

the Myron L Company website.

Logarithm An arithmetic function. The inverse of an exponential

function. See pH Units, pg. 42.

Mineral A term used in the pool & spa industry for SALT

(Sodium Chloride - NaCl). Expressed in parts per

million (ppm).

ORP Oxidation-Reduction Potential or REDOX, See ORP/

Oxidation-Reduction Potential/REDOX, pg. 44.

REDOX An abbreviation for Reduction-Oxidation reactions.

Reaction This is the basic electrochemical process by which

chlorine destroys microbes by grabbing electrons from

the microbe’s proteins, denaturing the protein and

killing the organism. ORP directly measures the

strength of a solutions’ REDOX potential and,

therefore, sanitizing strength.

TDS Total Dissolved Solids or the Total Conductive Ions in a

solution. See Conductivity Conversion to TDS, pg. 40.

Tempco Temperature Compensation

See Temperature Compensation, pg. 41.
