You just have to watch you pH and alkalinity levels and adjust at least weekly.

Why do tropical fish need more hard water than soft water?
Actually, different species of tropical fish require different levels of kH/gH. Some require soft water, and some hard water. So make sure to research the species before you acquire it!
How does chlorine water have an effect on seed germination?
more chlorine = less seed germination
What is the use of chlorine in water?
Chlorine, as well as other sanitizers for water, kill bacteria and algae in the pool water to keep it more safe for bathers.
Is chlorine less dense or more dense than water?
more dense
Is having more chlorine good or bad in the water?
Chlorine is added to water to kill microorganisms such as those that cause cholera and typhoid. However, too much chlorine would be harmful to humans.
Does Aquafina dasani or Publix spring water have more chlorine?
No chlorine in Publix Spring Water, but it does contain some other chemicals besides H2O.
Why would your pool water be even cloudier the day after you add two gallons of chlorine?
You have to add more chlorine.
If a pool smells like chlorine is it imbalanced?
This question can only be answered by testing the water. There are alot more parameters to water being balanced than just chlorine. I would rather swim in a pool that smelled like chlorine than not. At least you know there is some chlorine in the water.. THE ABOVE IS WRONG!!! If you smell "chlorine" you do not have enough free chlorine in the water. Chlorine in and of itself is odorless. The only time it smells is when it combines with organic compounds like skin cells, tanning lotions, etc. What you are smelling is "combine chlorine" which is incapable of sanitizing the water. You must therefore "shock" the pool with a high dose of chlorine or other substance to get rid of the combined chlorine and leave sufficient amounts of "free" chlorine available to disinfect the water. If a pool smells...don't swim in it until they add more chlorine!
Why do chlorine dispensers float?
Because they are more buoyant than the water.
Is chlorine more electronegative than iodine?
Chlorine is more electronegative than iodine.
How do you know when your cartrage pool filter needs replacing and not just cleaning?
When it stops cleaning the water properly. short of checking the water with a microscope for suspended particles if the filter is not filtering properly your pool wil suddenly require more chlorine more often because more of it will be taken up dealing with an increased bio-load in the water.
Does a saltwater pool require the PH to be adjusted more than a non salt pool?
A salt water pool is still a chlorine pool, but a weaker form of chlorine if you will! Your PH is affected by the reaction of the "chlorine" with the contamination in the pool. Your salt generated chlorine is working harder to kill the bacteria that it can kill. Therefore there is more "demand" in your pool which will require a more consitant Ph adjustment to keep the chlorine active! The "kill rate" or time it takes to kill, of salt generated chlorine is nearly double that of chlorine. E-coli for instance can live in a chlorine pool for up to 96 hours. A salt pool, as much as 180 hours. YUCK! You should be aware that many common pool bacteria have grown immune to chlorine and salt generated chlorine! Chlorine or salt does not kill Cryptosporidium or Girardia! Science has moved well beyond chemical additon to swimming pools. Check the World Health Organizations- Healthy Pool Guidelines! Ultraviolet is the way to go! Jon La
