How much chlorine do you put in a 1700 gallon pool?

Answer 1

The amount of chlorine used in a 3700 gallon pool varies on the type of chlorine you want to use. If you are using a 1 inch feeder tabs (half ounce tabs) you are looking at 5-6 ounces per week. If you are using a chlorine Concentrated Granules then it is 1.5 ounces every second day.

Answer 2

You should go to the swimming pool supply store or swimming pool supply section and get a kit. There will be instructions and chemicals in the kit. You put a chemical or little pill in the bottom of a tube and fill the tube with water from your pool. Then you compare the color of the water in the tube with the color on a chart. That tells you if you have enough chlorine in the pool. If you do not have enough chlorine you will have gunk growing in your pool. If you have too much chlorine, it will irritate your eyes. If you are going to be a way for an extended period of time, it would not hurt to add extra chlorine.

The simple answer: enough to keep it at about 3 parts-per-million. That sounds dumb, but it's what you do - buy an inexpensive test kit (Wal Mart has them for under $10.00) and check the level daily. Now the more complicated part - two main factors: how much chlorine depends a lot on the temperature of the water, and the pH of the water (test that with the kit, both tests are included). The other major factor is what type of chlorine you are adding, and how you add it. If you are using liquid, start with a pint. Let it circulate for half an hour, then run a check. Add in one-pint increments until you get the right level. As you do this, note how much chlorine it takes to change the test results. Then, next week when you check, you'll know how much to add to get it "right." If you're using chlorine tablets, buy one of those little floating dispensers that has adjustable holes. Start with a full float, and only one hole open. If the water is cold (below about 70 degrees) you won't need much, but again, test after a day or so and see what the chlorine level is. If it's not satisfactory, increase to two holes, etc, until you get just what you need. My summer-time water temperature is around 90, and I run my float wide-open from June to September. About once a month, I shock my pool - that takes the chlorine level up to about 10 ppm for a day or so (NO SWIMMING!) and releases chlorine that has been chemically bonded to elements in the water. If you don't do that, you'll find you have to keep adding more and more chlorine as time goes on, to keep the test showing 3 ppm. If you start having problems with algae, you can shock more often, and brush to remove the dead plants. Go on line to Leslies or one of the other pool supply companies, and download their pool maintenance brochures. Good luck, and happy swimming!

Answer 4

It would be best to take a sample of water along with the size of the pool to a pool shop where the will test it for free and tel you what is required.

Answer 5

This can vary the best thing to do is take a sample of water to you pool shop along with the sise of your pool and they will tell you exactly what is required.

Answer 6

1-3 parts per million of total and 1-3 parts per million of free chlorine.

Answer 7

That would depend on the strength of the chlorine, the size of the pool, and the "Chlorine Demand" of the pool.

Answer 8

About 1-2 parts per million. Get an OTO tester to check and make sure that your PH is between 7.0-7.4 as well.
