If the chlorine generator inst run sufficient time or there is a period where an exesive amount of bio material enters the water a litle additional chlorine may at times be an advantage rather then run the filtration equipment longer.

Does chlorine have odour is it worse than wastewater?

If you have ever smelled laundry bleach, or been in a swimming pool and noticed a smell to the water- that is the smell of chlorine (in a fairly mild form). Pure chlorine gas is pale green, has a choking, burning smell, and is deadly to breathe. Whether it is "worse" than the smell of wastewater would depend on the purity of the chlorine you smell- the more pure, the worse the smell.


Can Chlorine oxidation number ever be negative two?

No, that is not possible for Chlorine. Some elements have more than one oxidation number, such as Iron, Mercury, Copper, etc, but Chlorine only wants to gain one electron. If it had a -2 charge, it would not be stable, so that would never happen.


If converting from a chlorine pool to salt water do you need to empty the chlorine water first?

No you do not need to take out any water at all. A salt water pool is in fact a chlorine pool. the difference is that salt is added to the water so that as it is run through a chlorine generator fitted in line in the filtration system chlorine gas iselectronically made from the salt then mixed with the water to create a constant supply of chlorine to the pool.You can use the same water but you should also get a second job to pay for the increased running time on the pump and the replacement cells every three years at $650 a pop. Also plan on redoing the coping, decking and any other cementitious or metallic surface that comes into contact with the corrosive salt water. I am a pool remodeling contractor and these things have been a boon to my business fixing all the damage they inflict. Anybody ever seen the rusted out cars and pitted sidewalks from salt used in snowy climates. Why would it not do the same to a pool and any metallic surfaces it contacts. DUH!! Salt generators create sodium hypochlorite, NaOCL not chlorine gas.


Was there ever been a tornado in Henderson lake?

If there ever was one on the lake it would be a water spout not a tornado. Tornadoes are on land not water. A water spout is on the water.


What happened to the tablets Moses first received?

The answer to this can be found in Exodus 32. After receiving from God the tablets into which were carved the Ten Commandments, Moses came down from Mount Sinai. He found the Israelites worshipping an idol, since the people had given up on Moses ever returning. Moses threw the tablets to the ground and crushed them. He then mixed the crushed tablets with water and made the Israelites drink down the resulting mixture.


Would you ever need to put chlorine in a salt water pool?

chlorine is generated from salt by a process called electrolysis. The salt water passes through an electrically charged cell. this process physically separates the "sodium chloride" molecule, which produces chlorine.


Can the formula for water ever be H3O?

No, that would be a different compound.


Do you need to replace the pool water when you convert a chlorine pool to salt water?

It would probably be the smart thing to do because if you combine salt and chlorine, your pH level will be extremely low (very acidic) I have to correct the above answer:::: That answ. may be partially right in that changing the water would not hurt especially if it has been more than 5 years since the water has been changed. The latter part of the answ. is what I question. "Salt water pools" have salt added in order to make chlorine. Adding chlor. by hand at a rate of a gallon at a time has a very minute effect on the pH of the pool. If anything it may raise it but seldom lower it. Adding chlor. via the salt system should also have minimal effects since it is added continually and at steady levels. The make up of the water - either acidic or alkaline can effect the chemistry. Plaster pools have a high demand for acid since there is lime in the plaster mix. HTH will have an effect on raising your pH since it is a calcium based product. Tab chlorine on the other hand can lower your pH levels because the pH of a tab is near 2.5 or3.0 --quite on the acid side. k


How do you lower your chlorine in a salt water pool?

ADD MURATIC ACID PER DIRECTIONS. ALSO ADJUSTS THE PH New ans: There are no directions on a bottle of muratic acid. Muriatic acid will have little affect on the overall pH readings or can hardly be detected on most test kits. Possible too, lowering the pH may actually prolong the life of the chlorine. Chlorine levels will automatically come down naturally if left alone. And why in the world would you ever want to lower the chlorine levels if you have good sanitation????
