This is the total CT value we'd need to reach for a loose Fecal contamination.

What is a CT value of 15300?

200

2.0 ppm free chlorine residual in a public swimming pool.

What is the minimum chlorine ppm in a swimming pool greater than 30 Celsius?

This measures the ability of the water to cleanse itself or reduce a substance in the water. 

What is Oxidation-reduction potential (ORP)?

300

This residual value must be maintained at the lowest level possible to maximize bather comfort.

What is the combined chlorine residual?

300

A public swimming pool, may operate with a free chlorine residual of not less than this value (provided pH is less than 7.3 and ORP is consistently above 700 mV)

What is 0.5 ppm?

300

He's our unofficial welcome greeter. 

Who is Mark?

Operating records must be maintained to provide information regarding automated controller readings for these three values (and associated set points).

What are ORP, Chlorine and pH?

400

This is the best way to lower Hardness (and possibly Alkalinity). 

What is dilution?

400

This value must be maintained at no less than 60 milligrams per litre and no greater than 180 milligrams per litre, or at levels where chlorine and pH requirements can be maintained in accordance with Section 4.0 of the Pool Standards.

What is Sodium Bisulfate or pH down?

500

The quality of water in a public swimming pool operating at greater than 30 degrees Celsius must be maintained so that samples of the water do not show the presence of this organism.
