try adding cyanuric acid (stabiliser) it will stop the the chlorine fromdissipating so quickly as a result of sunlight.

Can algaecide interact with chlorine thereby reducing the level of free chlorine in a swimming pool?
yes, the algae feeds on the chlorine.. must get rid of algae, then bring up chlorine level
What is free chlorine in a pool?
Free Chlorine is the Chlorine which is free to do its work in the pool, as opposed to Combined Chlorine which is chlorine that has combined with contaminants and is tied up and ineffective as a sanitizer in the pool. Sometimes you will see it abbreviated as FAC, which stands for Free Available Chlorine.
How many electrons are in the second energy level of an atom of chlorine?
well, on the periodic table of elements a chlorine atom has 17 electrons, usually the first level holds up to two electrons and the second level holds up to 8. so if my figuring is correct there should be fifteen electrons on the second energy level.
How do you get high free chlorine to match total chlorine?
Total Chlorine = Free Chlorine + Combined Chlorineor, put another wayTotal Chlorine - Free Chlorine = Combined ChlorineFree Chlorine is the chlorine that is doing its job.Combined Chlorine is the chlorine that has combined with contaminants such as nitrogen. It is ineffective as a sanitizer and it is noxious.Total Chlorine is the total of these two levels.To eliminate the Combined Chlorine (making all the chlorine in the pool Free Chlorine) you must shock the pool to remove the contaminants. You must reach "Breakpoint Chlorination", which is the addition of chlorine to your pool equivalent to the Combined Chlorine level times 10.example:Total Chlorine = 1.5ppmFree Chlorine = 1.0ppmSo, the Combined Chlorine (the difference between the two tests) is .5ppmBreakpoint chlorination, in this example would be .5ppm X 10 = 5ppm. So, in this example, you would add enough chlorine to your pool to raise the chlorine level up by 5 parts per million.

You just filled your pool how do you get your chlorine level up?
throw chlorine in it

You cannot get the salt level to come up in your swimming pool and the chlorine generator will not produce chlorine?
It sounds like the chlorine generator is broken
How do you get chlorine level up in swimming pool?
I have treated for metals and algae and now have a problem getting the chlorine levels up. The ph, hardner and alkilinity is ok.
After shocking the pool four times this week your chlorine level still registers zero My Cyanuric Acid levels are 150 ppm How can you bring the chlorine level up?
we used liquid chlorine to raise ours so far it has worked
Does the sun reduce chlorine level?
Yes definitely. it is wise and can save you up to 80% of chlorine required by adding stabiliser (cyanuric acid).
What to do if total chlorine level is at 3 and free chlorine level is at 10?
my free chlorine level is way to high above ten my pool is 12 by 24 what can i do to fix it
Do you need algacide after several hot days with no rain?
No, just add a little more chlorine to keep the chlorine level up, since the sun breaks down chlorine quicker. Hatawa

What is the highest occupied energy level for chlorine?
The 3rd energy level is the highest occupied energy level for chlorine with seven electrons.
How can you get your chlorine level back instead of aqua water color?
Add chlorine
