Your pool does not have a to waste pump function. How do you get rid of the floc stuff on the bottom of your pool?
(Note : "floc" is the flakes that come out of colloidal suspension of pool chemicals.) You need to vacuum the floc from the bottom. However if you can't set your pool to waste, you can disconnect the pump hose from the pool and run it normally.
What are floc agents for swimming pools?
A floc agent is a chemical used for floccing a pool. Flocculation is the process of clumping up the solids in the pool water and any chemical in solution. The 'floc' will eventually sink to the bottom so that it can be vaccumed to waste. Commonly used in new pool start up procedures after pool is initially filled with water
What can be done to get rid of green algae in a pool that has balanced pH and alkalinity and has been repeatedly shocked?
I've actually answered my own question. For anyone who is curious, we used pool floc to treat the problem. Our pool is in an area with a lot of trees, and our problem wasn't algae at all (contrary to what numerous pool "professionals" told us). The greenness of our pool was caused by tree debris that was so fine it went right through the filter. We added floc, which causes all the debris to clump together and sink. Then we vacuumed to waste and our pool was perfect. The whole floc/vacuum process took 24 hours.
When do you add clearifier after shocking pool?
Yes you can add shock solution to your swimming pool after or at the same time as a clarifyer. You should not swim in your pool for at 4 hours after shocking it.
What does shocking a pool do?
By shocking, it means to put a small amount of chlorine into the pool water, just to kill harmful bacteria. In most cases, it's safe to swim about an hour after shocking. Super-chlorination, however, requires at least 12 hours to allow chlorine levels to drop. Otherwise, it would be exactly like swimming in a pool of Clorox, and your skin WILL burn. That's why some pools are open 6 days a week and close the 7th day.
Is shocking pool the same as adding chlorine?
Pretty much --Yes.
Will shocking the pool kill mosquitos?
The amount of chlorine normally used to shock a pool should kill and larvae and other living things in the pool.
What do you do if you over shocked the pool?
Shocking a pool is increasing a the chlorine levels to the maximum, successfully.
Did you lose your shock if you backwashed 1 hr after shocking?
The shock in your pool will be completely diluted within minutes. Shock is just a super chlorinator so you can test your water to see what chlorine level you have achieved
Indoor pool ventilation shocking?
Shocking produces gasses as a result of the chemical reaction between the shocking agent and the organic material in the pool water such as dead bugs, lipstick, and bodily discharges. It would be a good idea to vent off these gasses to the outside in addition to letting the humid air out.
When your pool thermometer breaks in the pool should you shock the pool right away?
Shocking is not useful response for a broken pool thermometer. Most pool thermometers are electronic sensors or bimetallic strips, which won't put anything into the pool if they break, or are based on colored alcohol, for which shocking will not do anything. If your broken thermometer used mercury (unlikely) it will settle to the bottom and into the drain traps. You need to get the mercury out of the drains.
Purple color in pool water and on sides?
A pink or purple ring around the pool could be caused by minerals. You should try shocking your pool water.
