After finding out that your Alkalinity was too low we added alkalinity up - How long will it take for the cloudiness to go away - All the other chemicals were perfect?
Run system 24/7. Recheck your readings (all of them) and readjust. Try adding a little baking soda unless you still have the alk up left and test again in 20 min (with circulation on). Continue this until you get a stable reading on the pH and alkalinity.
Swamp swimming pool All ready added 40lbs of shock still no free chlorine water is aqua blue 21x42 pool what do i do now?
You are using the wrong product. You need to use liquid 12.5% strength ... Clean your filter as needed & as often as needed. Adjust the other chemistry pH and total alkalinity to required levels. Run the filter/pump 24/7 until water is crystal clear. Re adjust chemicals.
What is the difference between Portal and Portal Still Alive?
Portal is the original game in the series. Portal: Still Alive is just extra levels added to the game.

How much chlorine is added to 1 liter of water in swimming pool?
That standard was once considered the optimum but that has changed. The current standards range from 1.5 to 3.0 or higher. Note that algae become resistant to constant levels of chlorine at say 1.5 ppm and can still breed. It would be to your advantage to let the chlor. levels fluctuate between 1.5 & 10 ppm. Other chemistry balances - pH and Total Alkalinity - are contributing factors in swimming pool water being well balanced.
Do chemicals still get dumped into lakes?
yes
Baking soda was added to my pool and ever since the pool is still cloudy even after shock treatment. It is also sudding up What is wrong?
I know the whole key to keeping a pool clean is balance. PH and alkalinity affect the chlorine, chlorine affects the PH and alkalinity. Get and keep the PH and alkalinity balanced and the rest should be easy. If the PH is too high chlorine will no work. Why was baking soda intorduced? Key to cloudy water is filtration along with proper chem. balance. Extend the run time on the pump by8 to 12 hrs and within a day you will see why you have extended the run time.
How do you raise pH levels in a inground pool?
by adding sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonateAnswer by TSYou can use sodium carbonate (soda ash -- Washing Soda at Walmart) or you can use 20 Mule Team Borax Laundry Booster. It can be found at many grocery stores. Try using the same amount as you would with PH plus 1 lb. to 10,000 gallons, and wait 2 to 4 hrs. Then check your PH reading. If it's still low, add some more until you get it to 7.2 to 7.8 range. Caution - check your alkalinity before using borax, because borax raises PH only, without affecting your alkalinity much. If your alkalinity is also low you can use baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to raise your alkalinity and PH. Baking Soda raises PH and Alkalinity at the same time. Baking Soda has the same ingredients as Alkalinity plus, but half the price. Take a look at this web site for more information on Borax: www.poolsolutions.com/gd/borax_20mule.html
How do you fix alkalinity in pools?
Getting a water test at your local pool store would be the first step. Second if it still is low alkalinity add alkalinity increaser. Also can add baking soda is the same stuff. If it says 50lbs you need of Alk. you will need to break that into 3'rds. So every 4 to 6 hours add a third. Have the pump running and you should be good to go after that.
Are there chemicals in freeze dried coffee?
There are plenty of crazy stories out there about chemicals added to freeze dried coffee. There is no reason for anything to be added to coffee when it is freeze dried; the entire point of freeze drying is that it preserves the product naturally. The process is: they make some coffee; they freeze it; they dry it. In short, whatever chemicals are in freeze dried coffee are only those - and exactly the same as those - found in "fresh" coffee.
Can you use the 3 b borax-bleach-baking sode to maintain your pool?
The standard answer from the swimming pool industry is:"Not unless you know absolutely know what to use, when to use it, what quantities to use and what the result will be after it is in the water. Do you know what to do in the event of over use of the product? What are the long term effects of these products? You need a test kit to test the water. One of the items can put the water chemistry balance so far out of wack and off the scale that it could damage something -- filter, heater. Another product listed would be too weak to make any noticeable difference in sanitizer levels. Causing you to use more and more of the chemical to achieve the required results. It could result in uncontrolled algae, calcium deposits, scale, rough plaster or pool finish and end up being a money pit. Stick with the tried and true swimming pool chemicals. Chlorine 12% or granular chlorine at 98 or 99%. Your area may require or demand Calcium Hyperchlorite -- low grade chlorine-- read and compare the percentages. To adjust the pH or total alkalinity -- use muriatic acid, dry acid - not sulfuric acid.It sounds like you are headed for deep trouble with make do, use what you find around the house chemicals. Mixing some of the wrong chemicals by mistake can prove deadly. Being careless with pool chemicals or any other type of chemicals can be fatal. With some type swimming pool chemicals - even a single drop of water or liquid accidentally dropped into the chemical can and will cause a violent reaction and fire. Beware.k "Rebuttal:I completely disagree with K. Borax-Bleach-and Baking Soda are the exact same chemicals as the "tried and true swimming pool chemicals". I do agree that you absolutely need to know what to add, how much, and when, and it's imperative that you have a good test kit.For information and expert advice on how to care for your pool, I highly recommend visiting http://www.troublefreepool.comrobrinkerAnswer( It must not contain detergent ) Only use 20 Mule Team Borax Laundry Booster.
