yes, the algae feeds on the chlorine.. must get rid of algae, then bring up chlorine level
Chlorine is used in swimming pools for a few reasons. The most common are: 1. Chlorine acts as a mild disinfectant, it makes swimming in the water a more sanitary activity. 2. Chlorine also inhibits the growth of algae. Without chlorine, most pools would be green within a few days.
Chlorine, Chlorine, it is great I love it, even though I hate to taste it in the swimming pool or breath it in, which isn't cool
If someone has lice and goes swimming will the live die
Chlorine, itself, is a gas. Most people think it's a liquid because of the chlorine that you would put in a swimming pool. But that is chlorine mixed with other chemicals.
Answer You would be better off waiting a day or two.
Copper Sulfate, also known as Bluestone. Used as an Algaecide in commercial pools
The same as in any chlorine pool toss a bit of extra chlorine in for starters, if this does not help get some algaecide from your pool shop. Not be careful that you use the right kind of algaecide as metal based products don't necessarily agree with salt water chlorinators.
Any one or thing swimming in the pool will reduce the amount of free chlorine available in the swimming pool. Dog hair body fats and other impurity's will take up free chlorine in the pool thereby reducing the amount of effective chlorine available. Dogs bring into the pool more contaminants than do humans for AA lot of various reasons.
You will have to get an Algaecide. lawn fertilizer also fertilizes the algae spores that land in your pool. Try building up the chlorine for a few days first, if you are lucky that may fix it.
You don't have to mix the algaecide in a bucket of water, you can put it directly in the pool. I use Polyquat 60 that comes in quart bottles and add about 4-6 ounces per week. Just walk along the edge of the pool and pour it at the edge while walking. No algaecide will "eat the paint". It's not acid. In fact, all the algaecide does is strip the cell walls of the algae and make it more susceptible to the chlorine. It's the chlorine that kills the algae. However, one algaecide with a side effect of staining is Copper. It's a very effective algaecide, and it's safe - but it will stain concrete pools if it's used in a high enough concentration. And Copper can stain blonde hair as well. That's why I don't recommend using it. The preferred algaecide is Polyquat 60.
One of the side effects of having too much algaecide in a swimming pool includes the likelihood of nose and eye irritations after prolonged swimming. Dry skin is also common after someone has been swimming the whole day and did not lotion up.

No.
The best way to interact with Hawaii is to go swimming. Swimming and snorkeling in the water will teach you a lot about the wildlife.
chlorine that's what you can smell at swimming pools too New ans: If you can smell chlorine at an outdoor pool means that the pool does not have enough chlorine in it to sanitize the water. More needs to be added to meet minimum standards set by local and regional codes. It also means that the people responsible for maintenance are not doing their jobs correctly. It also means that you could be more suseptable to a desease or infection of some sort. - chlorine and bromine for desinfection (characteristic smell) - algaecide - kills algae - water balance chemicals - to adjust acidity and alkalinity and remove water minerals
Not so much the pool or the water but it will plug the filter in no time at all thus reducing the quality of the water and the chlorine levels.
To disinfect it.
