While ORP is a means for verifying the level of pool chlorine, it is not a direct measurement of chlorine. ORP measures chlorine's ability to oxidize pool contaminants. Care should be taken to minimize cyanuric acid (stabilizer) in the pool, as it may reduce ORP and affect chlorination control. | While ORP is a means for verifying the level of pool chlorine, it is not a direct measurement of chlorine.

Water for the probes is sampled at a point just beyond the filters, prior to the boiler and chemical feeds. This is identified as the '''Chemtrol Unit Monitoring Loop''' in the process flow diagram. A flow meter identifies whether adequate flow is present; insufficient flow indicates that water in the flow cell assembly may not accurately reflect the composition of the pool water. Water from the monitoring loop is returned to the surge tank. | |||
