Can you use salt and chlorine in your pool?
Yes as a mater of fact that is what salt water pool normally is. With a salt water pool there is a electronic salt water chlorinator installed that uses the salt in the water to create chlorine. However if you don't have a salt water chlorinator and prefer the feeling of a salt water pool then there is no reason not to add salt to the pool as well as keeping up the chlorine yourself.
What chemical do you add when free chlorine is low?
Chlorine
What happens when you add chlorine to potassium iodide?
Chlorine, a more reactive halogen would displace iodide in its hallide solution. Potassium chloride would be formed.
Ph is low and chlorine is high?
Add sodium bicarb to raise pH. Chlorine will go down by itself or add sodium thiosulfate
If you add hydrogen chlorine what do you get?
Hydrogen Choloride
How do you easily chlorinate a pool without an automatic chlorinator so that it can last a week?
Raise the chlorine level to 3.0, then add some chlorine sticks or tablets to the skimmer basket.
How often do you add chlorine?
We added an automatic chlorinator which has made life a little simpler--if you cannot do that we had floaters in our pool all the time with tablet chlorine & we have put tablets in the skimmer basket to quickly get the chlorine in the water.
How do you switch your pool from chlorine sanitation to salt?
You need a salt water chlorinator. This can be a add-on to your existing setup or a whole new combined unit. You then add salt to your pool (mine is 20,000 litres and takes 60kg of salt at start of season), and then the salt water chlorinator (which sits in-line with one of your water hoses) makes chlorine from the salt using a chemical/electrical reaction. Beats buying and adding chlorine by hand :-) Hope that helps.
Do you add chlorine to salt system?
Normally you should not have too, however if the chlorinator cant keep up with the demand you may have too. get the system checked if this is happening.

What is a chlorine generator?
Many people are choosing to remodel their swimming pool systems to add saltwater chlorination. With a saltwater pool system, a chlorine generator is added to the pool's filtration system. The water circulates through the chlorinator, where salt produces a chlorine gas that dissolves into the water. That chlorine in turn, breaks down and turns into salt, cycling the process all over again.
What if both your free chlorine and total chlorine is low?
Add more chlorine. More to it than that. Test & if necessary correct the pH first - that's important. Calculate correct dose rate of chlorine & add accordingly. If it's an outdoor pool switch to stabilised chlorine if not already using it.
Instead of using an automatic chlorine tablet dispenser can you use add liquid pool cholorine?
As long as you keep your pH and your chlorine at the proper level it should not matter what technique you use.
Chlorine registers zero on the test strip but there are chlorine tabs in the chlorinator and the chlorinator is brand new hooked up and working The tabs are not breaking down however why is this?
The tabs are slow dissolving whether large or small. You need to add liquid chlorine 12.5% in strength t boost your levels and you must add a product sometimes referred to as conditioner ~ read label on product for instructions as how to use or ask the person at the pool store. Your test strips could also be old or bad if left out in the sun ~ even if kept in the container. You may also have to open the feed more on the feeder but be careful as not increase that too much. Monitor the readings daily or multiple times daily to determine chlorine levels. If the tabs are still not dissolving your chlor. feeder may be hooked up backwards or the valve is closed. Try the above adjustments and retest the water. k
