1) What is the best way to maintain a commercial pool for public use?
2) maintain: to clean and keep the pool up to code.
3)commercial pool: typically a competition or olympic size pool averaging in 300,000 gallons in capacity or more.
4) public use: when the pool is used by 200 people or more each day.
|
2) There are laws and regulations requiring the proper disinfection of public pools and spas.
3) These hold much more water, being one of the biggest reasons it is a commercial pool.
4) These pools are open to the public or are used by a number much larger than a pool in a person’s home.

5) ppm: parts per million
6) alkalinity: the capacity of a solution neutralize acids.
7) pH balance: 7.4ppm to 7.6ppm
8) Water hardness: the total concentration of Calcium, Magnesium, and other minerals in the water.
|
5) The unit of measurement used when the water balance is measured.
6) This is meant to prevent too much acid in the pool, helping to
keep the balance.
7) It is a way to measure how acidic or alkaline the water is. Typically
8) Adding the correct amount of Calcium Chloride helps to keep the water hardness balanced.

Answer #1
|
9) The water needs to be clean.
10) Chemicals like liquid Chlorine, Sodium Bicarbonate, and Muriatic Acid are added to sanitize the water.
11) Too much of these chemicals can cause harm to humans, but too little can allow the growth of algae and bacteria.
12) Keeping the water chemically balanced is the first way to maintain the pool’s water.
|
9) Commercial pools are required to stay up to a code set by California.
10) These chemicals are designed to keep the water balanced and clean.
11) pH level helps indicate the levels of all chemicals used to clean the water, making it easier to balance the water.
12) Balanced water will allow the water to stay sanitized and free from algae.

Answer #2
|
13) It is hard to keep a pool clear of debris without a filter.
14) A pool filter is a key component in pool maintenance.
15) Three types of sand filter exist: Cartridge, Sand, and Diatomaceous Earth filters.
16) Using a sand filter is the second way to maintain a pool for public use.
|
13) If a pool does not have a filter installed, debris can build up and cause a resistance to water flow.
14) Removes dirt, dust, and other filterable debris that settle at the bottom of the pool.
15) Each has it’s advantages over the other two, but all work to maintain clarity of the water.
16) Without the use of a filter, dirt and debris will collect in the water and will not be suitable for public use.

Answer #3
|
17) Chemicals and filters don’t always keep the inner lining of the pool clean.
18) Brushing and vacuuming the inner lining of a pool is the third method used to maintain a commercial pool.
|
17) Sometimes a physical form of cleaning is required.
18) A good scrubbing of the walls and floor is a good way to move dirt and algae missed by the first two methods into the filters to be removed.

Brushing the walls is the only way to remove the algae.
4.) What source helped you prove this answer is justified for your essential question?
5.) What do you plan to study next and why?
I plan to study chemistry and further refine my answers.

Blog 19: Senior Project and ESLRs
1. What ESLR have you excelled in most in your senior project?
Effective user of technology.
2. Please explain why you think you have excelled in this ESLR.
When considering the topic my Senior Project focuses on, there are few ways to earn my mentorship and Independent Component hours. It only made sense for me to look for a class of some kind that can better my understanding of the profession and open more doors of opportunity to me. This is why I chose to get certified for confined spaces. Not every employee is required to be suited for every job. However, we are encouraged to better our knowledge of the practice.
3. Provide evidence from your senior project to support your claim.
Here are two pictures I have taken with my phone. I could not screen shot the actual page because the website blocks the class. I assume in an attempt to deter theft.
Toward the end of the first section.
Me and the class hangin' out.

Blog 2: Topic Choice
A.
My topic is on rockets. More specifically, building them and launching them into space. I chose this topic because space and rockets have fascinated me since I was young. It has been a personal goal of mine to learn as much as possible about how they work and to maybe even help build one some day. The senior gives me a chance to explore a field that I've been interested in for a while and gives me a chance to share my fascination with others in an educational way.
B.
Effective Learner: As an effective learner at I-Poly, I will be in charge of my own success this year. I will not need others to watch over me to make sure I accomplish what is is that I need to accomplish. I will do well this year.
Effective Communicator: I will follow the instructions given to me by my teachers and follow up on any help that is extended to me. I will be lucky to receive much help from the teachers.
Effective User of Technology: I will take advantage of, but will not abuse the internet as a valid resource for my information. I will be creative when using it to help generate my findings as my studies continue.
Effective I-Poly Citizen: Missing any one day can prove to be a mistake if the wrong day is missed. It is my responsibility to make sure that I show up on time, every day. I will contribute and help out in any way that I can in order to better senior year for both my self, and my peers.
