DETAILS ABOUT THE ORP CHECK

The amount of chlorine required can vary depending on several conditions :
– Covered pool (by sheeting, cover or panels)
Low chlorine requirement (because there is no UV).
– Sudden rise in the number of people using the pool
Very large amounts of chlorine needed, but on a temporary basis.
– Indoor pool or sheltered pool
Reduced need for chlorine (because of low exposure to external pollution), but which tends to increase depending on the frequency of use of the swimming pool.
Given this range of possible configurations, chlorine production must be managed according to requirements. The ORP check enables you to react to each of these situations.

The ORP measurement (in mV), reflecting the oxidation (or reduction) potential of the water, is a major indicator of According to the WHO, an ORP measurement of 650  mV guarantees disinfected water that is itself capable of disinfecting. Despite the use of this value as a reference, this can only be on a theoretical level, because ORP measurements can easily vary depending on the following parameters :
– The ph.
– The type of chlorine (stabilised or non-stabilised).
– The presence of dissolved elements that can affect the water (metals, phosphates, surfactants).
– The cleanliness of the filter.
– The presence of stray currents.
– The presence of flocculant (deposit on the ORP probe).

The ORP measurement :
– is not a measurement of free chlorine levels.
The ORP measurement :
– varies according to free chlorine levels and all elements in the water.

ESSENTIAL PREREQUISITES FOR AN OPTIMAL ORP CHECK
– Stable pH (with a pH regulator).
– Stabilizer level between 20 and 30 ppm.
– Earthing of the pipe where the ORP probe is installed (with a Pool Terre kit).
– Installation of the ORP probe at least 30 cm before the chlorinator cell.
– Balanced water profile (free chlorine levels at 1 ppm, and pH at 7.2).
– ORP setpoint adjusted according to the ORP measurement displayed (a value between 500 and 700 mV can be considered as correct).
The use of sulphates is permitted, provided they remain at levels below 360 ppm.
The use of copper sulphates is strictly forbidden.
The use of borehole water is strictly prohibited.
When using a chemical (flocculant, waterline cleaning, sequestrant), check the ORP measurement before and after use of this product. If the ORP measurement drops  sharply, stop the electronics unit for a few days, until the effects of the product on the ORP measurement disappear.
Influence of chloramines on the ORP measurement : as chloramine levels tend to increase, the ORP measurement tends to decrease.
The ORP check in no case eliminates the need to regularly check free chlorine levels.

5.4. Features
5.4.1. Calibrating the ORP probe
To ensure an optimal ORP check, it is imperative that the ORP probe is calibrated :
– when first commissioning the equipment.
– at the start of each season when it is commissioned.
– each time the probe is replaced.

1. Turn off the filtration (and therefore the electronics unit).

2. If the probe is already installed :
   a) Remove the probe from the probe holder, without disconnecting it.
   b) Remove the probe holder nut and replace it with the stopper supplied.
   If the probe is not already installed :
   Connect the probe to the electronics unit.

3. Insert the probe into the ORP 470 mV calibration solution.

4. Wait a few moments, without touching the probe.

5. Turn on the electronics unit.

6. Press and hold down the right-hand key, until the menu flashes.

7. Press the top or bottom key x times until menu flashes.

8. Confirm by pressing the right-hand key : the message flashes.

9. Press on the right-hand key.

10. Wait until one of the messages below is displayed.

11. If the message is displayed : calibration was successful.
    a) Press 3 times on the left-hand key : the default display reappears.
    b) Rinse the probe under running water.
    c) Drain the probe without wiping it.
    d) Install the probe into the probe connector.
    If the message is displayed : the calibration failed.
    a) Press 3 times on the left-hand key : the default display reappears.
    b) Visually check the condition of the probe.
    c) Try the calibration again, several times if necessary. If the calibration still fails, change the probe and recalibrate.

5.4.2. ORP measurement adjustment
The adjustment of the ORP measurement requires a measuring device (not supplied) to obtain an actual ORP value.

• Prerequisite : the ORP measurement must be between 200 and 900 mV.
• Possible settings : from – to + 100 mV compared to the ORP measurement, in steps of 10 mV.

3. Confirm by pressing the right-hand key.
4. Select a value with the top/bottom keys.
5. Confirm by pressing the right-hand key.
6. If the message is displayed : the adjustment was successful.
   Press 2 times on the left-hand key : the default display reappears.
   The message is displayed : the calibration has failed.
   a) Press 2 times on the left-hand key : the default display reappears.
   b) Visually check the condition of the ORP probe.
