It turns white and brittle.
try it out and tell me
Algae, time for chlorine. Pool supply places have a test kit (ph) & can tell you how to use & what to add-chlorine or acid.
I have paid for a genuine doughboy pool liner, how can I tell if that is what I received or if I was given a cheaper one for the price of a doughboy? I am having so much trouble trying to get the wrinkles out of it. It seems they are almost manufactured right into it.
Use a test strip or test kit. They will tell you your chlorine level. You want it between a 1 and a 3.
when that persons eyes are burning or when there body is burning
Just add Chlorine manually to the pool... I recomend liquid chlorine, because if you decide to replace the cell the calcum from powder chlorine will clog up the cell... How much chlorine should you add depends on so many factors eg the size of the pool, the water temp, how much you use the pool ect, ect. Its All trial & Error. where i live, in east sydney Australia for an average pool (50,000L) i tell people 1L a day in summer & 1L every 2-4 Days in winter. but you really should get a test kit & test the chlorine every few day till you work out the chlorine demand of your pool....
Chlorine doesn't necessarilly work better at night. Your pool professional may tell you to add your chlorine at nite, because chlorine is emensly effected by the sun. there is achemical called "cyanuric acid", or "chlorine stabilizer". This chemical helps prevent the breakdown of the chlorine molecule in the sun's rays.
It was to keep out the Barbarian Mongolian Invaders from the north. It was a physical barrier.
How do you know that it is too high? If you are using a home test kit it will show the total chlorine, which includes free chlorine and combined chlorine. Only free chlorine can sanitize the pool. Combined chlorine is broken apart by "shocking" the pool with 1L liquid chlorine per 10000L of water in the pool. (For most pools 10L is fine if you're unsure of the pool volume.) Chlorine will disipate on its own anyways. Sidenote: Are you using a lot of chlorine pucks? They contain stabilizer, which is used to keep the chlorine from burning off in the sun too quickly. If it is overused the chlorine will burn off too slowly. Are you getting readings above 10.0 ppm of chlorine? What is too high? Do you smell the chlorine? Then there's not enough chlorine. Simple as that. K
Chlorine is the norm Take some of the water from about an arms length down from the surface to a pool shop and have it tested they will tell you exactly what you need to get the water right
Chlorine and shock are not the first ingredients to "start" a new pool. A conditioner should have been added first. It helps the chlorine stay in the water and work. Take a water sample to your pool store. tell them you are trying to "Start" the pool
As far as I can tell, it is not structurally harmful to vinyl pool liners, but can fade their coloring. The first year I had a pool, I made the mistake of dumping 1/2 pound of calcium hypochlorite (bleach) in one spot in the pool, which caused the liner to turn from blue to white, but did not cause it to leak.
