WAT E R FA Q ’ S
HOW IS THE POND WATER TREATED?
What is used to treat the water? The water in the pond is treated with liquid chlorine (sodium hypochlorite).
What is the capacity of the chlorine tank and how often is it replenished? The tank holds approximately 500
gallons of chlorine. The supply is kept uninterrupted, with deliveries as needed and typically more than once per week.
How is chlorine flow determined? Chlorine flow (stroke and speed) to the pond is set to the level required to maintain
a constant reading of free chlorine between 1.5 ppm and 3 ppm.
How often are chlorine levels measured and adjusted? Chlorine, pH and alkalinity levels are tested prior to opening
each day and then at least once again during the day (more often when conditions are extreme). Records of the
readings are maintained.
What determines rate of chlorine use? Many factors determine the rate of use, including sunlight, heat and bather
load among others.
Laboratory Testing: Water samples from four locations in the pond are taken weekly and analyzed at a private
laboratory. Lab results are sent directly to the Bedford Board of Health.
Is the water filtered? The pond water is continuously filtered 24/7 throughout the season of operation. The filter is
backwashed as needed, but at least twice per day.
