Abstract

Chlorine which is commonly used in the swimming pool can disinfect unwanted bacteria and algae and oxidizes other unwanted materials such as dirt and chloramines. Hence, the amount of the chlorine used is crucial to determine the quality of the water.However, there is less number of systems that can measure the level of chlorine automatically.Because of this, swimming pool workers normally applied an inaccurate amount of chlorine whether it is too high or otherwise. Excessive use of chlorine may lead to a serious health problem such as cancer. Therefore, this project aims to design a chlorine control system to be used in swimming pools that controls the alkaline and acidity attributes of the water to a healthy pH level. An acrylic chlorine control system had been made to control the pH level in a small tank representing a swimming pool.The data from the pH sensors are processed and transferred to an automated system that forces the pH level of the water to a specify healthy level. It can be observed that the system was able to control the level of the pH and the acidity of the water to the level needed. In addition, the validity of the results are verified with litmus paper and another type of pH sensor. This shows the system is able to provide a solution to the chlorine control problem for water compartment applications such as swimming pool, water tanks etc.
