EN 16713-3:2016 (E) 5 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 16582-1:2015, EN 16582-2:2015 and in EN 16582-3:2015, and the following apply. 3.1 water treatment way to ensure water quality through physical and chemical actions 3.2 pool water water in the swimming or bathing pool 3.3 disinfection killing or inactivating certain microorganisms 3.4 filtrate water after the filtration process 3.5 fill water water used for the initial filling and for topping up 3.6 flow Q volume of water flowing through a certain cross section per unit time 3.7 pollutants undesirable inorganic and organic substances and microorganisms which enter, or are already present, in the pool water 3.8 free chlorine dominating forms of chlorine (dissolved gas Cl2, hypochlorous acid HOCl, hypochlorite ion OCl-) depending upon the pH-value Note 1 to entry: In the pH-range relevant in the pool application, these forms are HOCl/OCl-. 3.9 active chlorine proportion of free chlorine available as the biologically active hypochlorous acid (HOCl) at a given pH 4 Requirements 4.1 General Depending on the equipment being installed and type of chemicals used, the necessary instructions and safety requirements (e.g. hazards of using chemicals inappropriately) shall be provided to the pool owner. SIST EN 16713-3:2016



EN 16713-3:2016 (E) 6 Pool water treatment is essential for the safety of the users but incorrect treatment can also be the cause of various disorders (e.g. stains, discolorations, corrosion). The different problems related to improper pool water treatment or materials are listed in EN 16582-1:2015, Annex D (as an example for polyester shells but can be in a similar way for other pool materials e.g. liner, paint, tiles, mineral coating and pool equipment). 4.2 Fill water specifications Water that is obtained from a mains water supply is deemed to be suitable as fill water without testing. Water that is not obtained from a mains water supply should be tested for suitability and treated, if necessary. The following maximum values are recommended for the fill water: — iron: 0,1 mg/l; — copper: 0,2 mg/l; — manganese: 0,05 mg/l; — polyphosphate as phosphorus: 0,01 mg/l; — nitrates: 50 mg/l. If these values are exceeded it is recommended to treat the water to achieve the recommended values. Phosphates introduced into the swimming pool water both with the fill water, and by the swimmers, promote algal growth. By optimization of flow, treatment (e.g. filtration and flocculation) and operation, the growth of microorganisms can be reduced together with the reduction of the phosphates. 4.3 Physical and chemical pool water requirements The following parameters ensure good quality bathing water. To ensure that these parameters can be achieved and maintained, the following shall be considered: a) pool design according to EN 16582 (all parts) and EN 16713-1 and EN 16713-2; b) pool installation according to EN 16582 (all parts) and EN 16713-1 and EN 16713-2; c) pool operation and maintenance; d) physical and chemical parameters should be checked regularly with suitable measuring equipment. Basic parameters for good quality bathing water are the pH value, free chlorine (or alternate disinfectants) and combined chlorine (if applicable). If chlorine is not used or actively measured, the redox potential is one method of measurement. SIST EN 16713-3:2016



EN 16713-3:2016 (E) 7 Table 1 — Indicative physical and chemical parameters when using chlorine disinfectant Parameter Value Water clarity clear view of the pool bottom Colour of the water no colour should be observede, f Turbidity in FNU/NTU max 1,5 (preferably less than 0,5) Nitrate concentration above that of fill water in mg/l max 20 Total organic carbon (TOC) in mg/la max 4,0 Redox potential against Ag/AgCI 3,5 m KCl in mV min 650 pH valuec, d 6,8 to 7,6 Free active chlorine (without cyanuric acid) in mg/l 0,3 to 1,5 Free chlorine used in combination with cyanuric acid in mg/l 1,0 to 3,0 Cyanuric acid in mg/l max 100b Combined chlorine in mg/l max 0,5 (preferably close to 0,0 mg/l) When using alternative/additional disinfectants other appropriate parameters may be considered. a When using organic compounds this value may be higher. b If national regulations allow > 100 mg/l then a suitable treatment should be applied (e.g. dilution). c Subject to the flocculant(s) used (if any). d When pH is greater than 7,5 the free active chlorine is less than 50 %. e Natural water sources may introduce water colouration. f Intentional water colouration is excluded. 4.4 Flocculation/coagulation The finest of dirt particles, hardly visible or invisible, may be present in the water. Due to their very small size these can pass through the filter under certain circumstances. In order to prevent this, the smallest of dirt particles could be converted into larger particles with the help of a flocculation agent. The use of flocculants/coagulants has long been used to assist in the enhancement of water quality. It is particularly relevant in the removal of microorganism, e.g. Cryptosporidium cyst, which occurs in human faeces and is virtually impervious to disinfection. Consequently it shall be removed by filtration. The following substances are commonly used as flocculants/coagulants: a) aluminium based coagulant, as in EN 15031; b) iron based coagulant, as in EN 15797; Special caution is needed with the use of iron based coagulants, to avoid the development of corrosion and stains. These substances all form a gelatinous precipitate by hydrolysis and shall be removed by cleaning. SIST EN 16713-3:2016
