Calcium Carbonate:
Also known as scale, these crystalline deposits form on your pool surfaces, equipment, or even line your pipes. Eventually its buildup may clog or severely hinder the operation of your pool system. Properly balanced pool water can prevent this.
Calcium Chloride:
A soluble white salt used to raise the calcium hardness of a pool. (See Hardness for more information).
Cartridge Filter:
A surface-type filter component with fixed dimensions that is designed to remove suspended particles from pool water flowing through the pool filter. Cartridge filters are the typical choice for most spas and smaller above ground pools because they frequently must be removed from the pool filter tank and hosed thoroughly to remove dirt and debris. Large cartridge filters can operate for 6 months between cleanings, others however may require more frequent service. In general, cartridges should be replaced every 2-3 years, depending on the amount of debris it must filter from the pool water.
Chloramine:
A chlorine cell which has "died" due to its combination with a contaminant (such as ammonia or nitrogen) so that it is now useless for maintaining your pool. It emits a strong chlorine odor, which is not a sign of too much chlorine in the pool water, rather, too little available for sanitizing.
Chlorinator/Brominator:
An automatic device used to deliver or "feed" chlorine or bromine to pool water at a controlled rate, thus eliminating the need to manually add granular or liquid chlorine/bromine to maintain your swimming pool.

Chlorine Residual:
The amount of free chlorine in your pool.
