  • Section 5 – Water Quality and Testing
    SECTION 5 – WATER QUALITY AND TESTING Maintaining water quality is a fundamental role in operating an aquatic facility. The objectives of an operator should be to: • Ensure the water is properly disinfected at all times, to prevent transmission of infectious diseases, • Achieve maximum patron comfort, and • Maximise longevity of the facility structure. Whenever an aquatic facility is available for use, the water needs to contain an adequate level of a chemical that can destroy micro-organisms. By far the most common chemical used for disinfection is chlorine. This material has the advantages of being a relatively low cost, highly effective disinfectant that is readily available. However, chlorine is also a highly reactive chemical, which non-selectively combines with nitrogen-rich pollutants in the water, to produce unwanted chemicals known as chloramines. These give the water a characteristic pungent chlorine-like smell, and irritate the eyes and skin of patrons. Chloramines are also known to be less effective disinfectants than free chlorine. High concentrations of chloramines reduce the overall effectiveness of the chlorination process. The chloramine problem is generally worse in heavily patronised facilities, where patrons add large amounts of urea and other nitrogen-rich bodily wastes to the water. A number of technologies are now available to reduce the levels of chloramines in water. Examples include the use of ozone gas, ultraviolet light irradiation, and the addition of non-chlorine oxidising chemicals to the water. The use of these technologies should be considered for indoor aquatic facilities with significant bather numbers. Chlorine also undergoes significant degradation when exposed to sunlight.

  • Pool Chemical Information
    Pool Chemical Information Acid o Acid is used mainly on salt pools to lower the pH. When the pH and alkalinity are out of balance, the chlorine is significantly less effective. The pH should be balanced between 7.4-7.6. Chlorinating with a salt water chlorinator produces a high pH (11.8). Without a weekly dose of Acid, salt systems will increase the pH to 7.8-8.2 or greater. A high pH can cause the pool to scale, and the chlorine would be locked up by the basicity. Without the use of Acid the pH can potentially ruin the salt cell in a few months. Algaecide o Algae are a microscopic single cell plants. While they are not directly harmful or toxic, they are unattractive in swimming pools since they discolour the water, usually green, which is unpleasant for swimmers. The vinyl can also become slippery if algae are stuck to it. As they are plants, they bloom in the same conditions as plants do. They require nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. They also like sunlight as it is essential for photosynthesis. This is where chlorophyll, which causes the green colour, utilises light energy and converts carbon dioxide into organic compounds essential for growth while releasing oxygen. Nitrogen is usually introduced into the water by bather contamination. Algaecide is the strongest available chemical we have, in conjunction with granular chlorine, to fight against algae break outs. This product can be used as a weekly preventive measure or as a concentrated dose to remove visible algae. There are more concentrated and less concentrated forms of the product depending on situation.

  • Beginning Mountain Bike Racing in the Tricities TN/VA: Sweat and Gear Without Fear
    Natasha Snyder [email protected] Beginning Mountain Bike Racing in the TriCities TN/VA: Sweat and Gear without Fear Natasha Snyder <[email protected]> Author Natasha Snyder and her beloved racing steed on a 35 mile training ride. Alvarado Station Store, Creeper Trail, Abingdon, VA. Natasha is a retired mountain bike racer from Bristol TN who specialized in cross country and cyclocross, with several trophy finishes. Natasha Snyder [email protected] The world of mountain bike racing is exciting, exhausting, varied—and accessible. If you are a competent mountain biking enthusiast who has mastered basic riding skills and built a decent level of fitness, you may be ready to explore the next step: the local racing circuit. With some readily available equipment and determination, you could begin collecting trophies in no time. Most adults who purchase a mountain bikes are simply recreational riders, looking to enjoy a comfortable, ecologically-sound, human-powered ride around their neighborhood or perhaps a quick ride to the beach during vacations. After all, mountain bikes are stylistically diverse, slower and safer than motorcycles, and more comfortable than skinny road bicycles. However, sometimes a casual rider becomes a true “enthusiast,” which is what people involved in bicycle racing call those who are more than recreational riders, but not quite elite athletes. Once the desire to go fast surpasses the desire to arrive home clean and comfortable, the time may have arrived for you to consider preparing to enter a local or amateur mountain bike race here in the Tri Cities and surrounding region.

  • The Proposal
    THE PROPOSAL INTRODUCTION The Mountain Biking Explosion The exponential growth of recreational and sporting off road mountain bike riding is worldwide. Both cross country and Downhill Mountain Biking are established as Olympic events; the demand will con- tinue to increase. Locally The Hong Kong Magazine for August carried an article on mountain biking in Hong Kong, which only further fuels demand. Companies recruiting expatriates cite mountain biking and refer candidates to the HKMBA website as evidence that Hong Kong is a “cool” city to live. And in the latest Action Asia magazine there are three separate articles about mountain biking. Mountain Biking is a growing sport across the world, the bicycle industry in 2008 in the USA is a $6 billion industry, includ- ing the retail value of bicycles, related parts, and accessories according to research funded by the USA National Sporting Goods Association. Ironically the majority of bicycles, components and accessories are manufactured in China, and in Taiwan and Japan. Hong Kong’s bike shops are amongst the best in the world, when a new bike or component is manufac- tured it is usual to find it in a Hong Kong bike shop ahead of anywhere else. This is because most bikes and components are manufactured within the region and the Hong Kong bicycle enthusiast is one of the most discerning. Bicycle shops in other countries tend to carry minimum stock and will custom order Unfortunately for mountain biking cycling in the country parks falls under the authority of the AFCD. depending on requests by individual customers; recently online retailers overseas have filled this void by Whilst AFCD is no doubt qualified to fulfil their other responsibilities in the area of recreational use of offering huge catalogues and overnight delivery.
