Aquatic Life Support Operations: A Field Guide to Water

Aquatic Life Support Operations: A Field Guide to Water Quality Practices, Common System Components , and Practical Mathematics (2016 Version)

The 2016 AALSO Field Guide is more than a resource for zoo and aquarium professionals. It doubles as a reference manual and study guide assisting in the Level I Water Quality Technician and Level I, II, and III Life Support Operator examination given at the annual AALSO Symposium and Workshops. The examinations acknowledge general operator and technician proficiency, and routine tasks ranging from basic to advanced duties. It covers such topics as: mechanical, biological and chemical filtration, water quality testing, USDA regulations, cathodic protection, turbidity, safety, pump curves/trouble shooting, pool volume calculations, filter surface area calculations, and pool turnover rate calculations. With its annual symposium, AALSO hopes to further grow the life support knowledge base, understanding that different ideas/solutions from different places canâ€™t help but improve our industry. Members share successes and failures. Facilities describe their new projects and system retrofits. Vendors conduct maintenance demonstrations and display their latest equipment. The 5 day idea exchange has established AALSO as THE professional organization and network for anyone who works with zoo and aquarium water systems. For those interested in attending the symposium or becoming an AALSO certified operator or technician, please visit our website to become a member.
