Does yellow algae consume free chlorine?

Yes, yellow algae can consume free chlorine in a swimming pool. It has a protective layer that can make it resistant to regular chlorine levels. It is important to shock the pool and maintain proper chlorine levels to effectively treat yellow algae.


Is pool shock the same as chlorine?

Pool shock typically contains a higher concentration of chlorine compared to regular pool chlorine products. Pool shock is used to quickly raise the chlorine levels in the water to kill bacteria and algae, while regular pool chlorine is used for maintenance and to keep the chlorine levels stable over time.


Do you sell chlorine tablets?

I do not sell products, but you can find chlorine tablets at most pool supply stores or online retailers. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions when using chlorine tablets in your pool to maintain proper water chemistry and safety.


Is pool chlorine really chlorine?

This is a tricky answer but it's quite simple... Actually the chlorine they used for the pool is like the chlorine we use to clean our fish tank. They use it to clean the germs in the pool ex. urine in the pool and young kids who can't hold back their poo.


How should you do chlorine to add in your pool?

To add chlorine to your pool, first test the water to determine the current chlorine levels. Use chlorine tablets or liquid chlorine based on the pool's needs. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for dosage and application method, typically dispersing the chlorine around the perimeter of the pool to ensure even distribution.

What are the advantages and disadvantages for alternatives to chlorine for pool maintenance?

The advantage offered by most 'alternatives' is that they, at best, reduce the amount of chlorine you need to add. The only alternative which does the entire job on its own is the Saline (salt) System and although it produces 'chlorine' (from salt dissolved in the pool water) it results in NONE of the obnoxious features attributed to chlorine - no skin irritations, no chlorine odors, no red eyes, no hair damage. A saline pool does not need 'shock' chemicals nor does it require algaecides. Whatever you do, don't get sucked into believing that baquacil is a good alternative.


Can I chlorinate the salt water in my pool after my chlorinator died?
