I wasn't quite sure where this might best be posted, but this was my best guess. The Association of Pool and Spa Professionals publishes Water Treatment Information Bulletins (IB), and they are all available at the link below. There is some interesting reading among the various bulletins.

Information Bulletins (IBs) include objective technical information about chemicals, water treatment processes, and related technical issues. The IBs are based on the best information available to the industry and represent a consensus of the APSP Recreational Water Quality (RWQ) Committee. Each IB contains a reference section to support and educate pool and spa professionals about the science of a product or process so they can draw their own conclusions. This knowledge will help pool and spa professionals demonstrate their technical competence in the eyes of the consumers.
