How do you maintain chlorine in clear pool with minimal green algae by skimmer boxes after trying everything?

Chlorine is less likely to dissapate when proper levels of cyanuric acid are present. If chlorine levels are within limits and algae is still present test for ortho phosphates and treat if neccessary. Brush the affected areas (and setps & walls) regularly.

Can you put a chlorine tablet in the skimmer?
Yes...I found that if you keep your chlorine a bit high in your pool it will stay clear...and by putting the tablets in the skimmer it just helps by releasing the chlorine.
Do you put chemicals in skimmer basket?
Most are OK if pool is running. NEVER leave chlorine tablets in skimmer baskets of in ground pools for any length of time. High concentrations of chlorine can damage underground lines. Get a chlorinator.
How can you keep your chlorine levels up?
Keep 1 to 2 chlorine tablets in Skimmer every day, depends on the size of the pool too.
What size chlorine tablet should you use for a 28000 gallon pool?
Depends on what the chlorine demand is for your pool. 1 inch tablets are not compressed as hard as 3 inch tabs and skimmer sticks. If your pool requires more chlorine you may want to use 1 inch tablets. If it has a low chlorine demand skimmer sticks may be all your need. Skimmer sticks are the hardest compressed and slower dissolving.
If you have a saltwater system that produces its own chlorine do you still need to have a chlorine tablet in the skimmer at all times like a standard system?
No you do not.The only chlorine you will use in a salt system is a shock.But even then you should use only a NON-Chlorine shock.And by the way Chlorine in your skimmer is a very bad Idea, The high concentration of chlorine going straight to your equipment (pump,heater,filter)will shorten it's life considerably.

How do you get debris out of the skimmer lines after replacing the skimmer?
To get debris out of skimmer lines once the skimmer has been replaced, you need to blast air or water through the lines to push everything out of them. The lines must be disconnected at both ends during this process.
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 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 do you open your pool you use chlorine?
yes you can use chlorine fill pool to middle of skimmer make sure pump is on and stays on pour 1 jug 10l of chlorine in leave for 24 hrs DO NOT swim in it till the 24 hr's is up
When do you need to use chlorine tablets?
Chlorine tablets dissolve slowly and do a good job of maintaining chlorine levels. TriChlor (the most common type of chlorine tablets) are stabilized and have a low pH. As such, they partner well with liquid or granular chlorine, since both are generally unstabilized and have a high pH.Do not put chlorine tablets into a skimmer. They have a low pH that could damage pump seals and heaters. The damage is most pronounced when the pump restarts after the tablets have had a chance to dissolve for several hours and have lowered the pH in the water that is sitting in the skimmer. At this time, a couple of gallons of really low pH water will flow through the system.Floaters or inline dispensers are the best way to use tablets.
Do you put shock in pool water or pump?
Most chemicals for swimming pools are applied directly to the water, not through the skimmer. The only exception to this rule is stabilizer (cya) which is poured directly through the skimmer and is a slow dissolving product. Pouring granular chlorine directly into the skimmer can cause an explosion within the plumbing and equipment due to the gas it creates as it dissolves.
Is placing chlorine tabs in the skimmer of an in-ground pool an effective method of maintaining proper chlorine levels?
yes, it is perfectly ok to put tabs in skimmer basket. +++ NO: it is NOT OK - unless the manufacturers of the particular skimmers, pumps and filters on your pool advise it is permissible. Buy either a proper in-line tablet feeder (it goes in the return pipe downstream from the filter) or floating basket-type tablet dispensers. The skimmers are NOT chemical dispensers.
