How do you repair a chlorine stain in a Pebble Tec sheen pool surface?
How do you know that it is in fact a chlorine stain unless you have been using chlorine tabs and the tabs are tossed, spilled or dropped into the pool. Tabs will burn the surface that it touches and often these stains are not removable.
How do you use chlorine tabs?
For an above ground pool such as a summer escapes pool by pool poly, fill the inside of your filter with tabs. Approx. 8-10 tabs. Replace basket and place back into pump. Turn on pump and let it run.
How many pool tabs to shock chlorinate a well?
depends on how deep your well is and how high the water is in it
What are chlorine pills for?
Chlorine tabs are for use in a chlorinator - there's some that just float in the pool and some that are connected to the water line and so are "automatic". They are a slow delivery system to help maintain the chlorine level in the water between 'shocking' the pool.
How much chlorine to put in an easy set above ground 15 foot diameter x 42 inch deep above ground pool?
I use 2 tabs of chlorine the 2" tabs in a floater it works well.
Can you add chlorine straight in to a pool without a chlorine dispenser?
Sure you can use liquid chlorine and walk around the pool. You can use granular chlorine directly into the pool. If it doesn't disolve before it gets to the bottom you should brush it around so it won't stain. Never add pucks/tabs directly to the pool OR THE SKIMMER. (BAD FOR THE EQUIPMENT) They will sink to the bottom and stain.
What causes a high bromine level in an inground pool?
You had to have added bromine.That is not necessarily true. I have only put tap water, shock and chlorine tabs in a floater and my bromine readings are off the chart.You added chlorine at presumably the correct rate for the make of disinfectant and your pool's water volume - but brominereadings too high? Test for chlorine instead: I don't know the relative sensitivities of either meters or reagents to chlorine & bromine, but you can't expect sensible answers if you read the wrong chemical.You don't specify the shock chemical so that may be the culprit, but it should soon break down.
What can you do if your pool water is white instead of clear?
I turned my pool water whiteI just turned my pool water white, by accident, of course, because I put too much PH balancer in at the same time as my shock-it. Apparently you are supposed to wait at least 2 hrs after the shock-it. I'm having to replace 1/2 my water with fresh, and am pumping just air into it. It's clearing a little, but this looks like it's going to take a few days. When I test it, my pH it perfect but I don't show any br or chlor, at all, after 2 bags of shock-it. Great start to a hot summer, huh? Shock-it has no chlorine. next time you shock your pool be sure to usechlorine chlorine tabs or granules to maintain the chlorine levels.
How many times do you shock your pool?
Assuming here your primary sanitizer is chlorine, you need to shock a pool at least once a week, maybe more often in very warm climates. It is normally 1 lb per 10,000 gallons. The best shock or oxidizer is 78% calcium hypochlorite. You can get this at any professional pool store that sales the brand Poolife. They are the only one that carries it. There are also other percentages out there, 73%, 68%, 62%, 54%, and 47%. Just pay attention to the ingredients and the concentraton of the cal hypo. The higher the %, the better the product. If you choose to use the lesser concentration, you are going to need almost double what you would use if higher concentration. Its actually more cost effective to purchase the higher concentration.AnswerThe amount of shock depends on how big your pool is. You can determine this by reading the back of the chemical package. I usually shock the pool once a week, but keep chlorine tabs in the float. Answerif you use slow dissolving tabs normally you want to shock about once a week. check bottle for dosage
What chlorine type do you use?
use 3" tabs to keep your pool chlorinated. It has conditioner and dissolves slowly over the course of a week or two.
There are hundreds of little black bugs in my salt pool and chlorine tabs in the skimmers are not killing them. Any ideas?
Try another method of killing them.
What should you put in swimming pool from a fresh fill?
Wait to add chlorine. First get a sample checked at local pool store. Balance out alkalinity, PH, and clear of metals. Once metals are removed, then add chlorine tabs to skimmer, floater, or inline chlorinator. Bring up level slow and do not shock at least for a week, two is better. New plasters particularly are subject to stains from metals in the water and shocking the pool or adding CL too soon.
