If you rely on chlorine for sanitizing your pool you should have a steady level of 1.0-3.0 ppm (parts per million) of chlorine in your pool. You can add this in several ways. You can install an automatic chlorinator that takes tablets, either 1" or 3" that are added to your water as it flows through your system. You can add liquid chlorine (which is the fastest acting version of chlorine, it is also the most quickly used up by your pool). You can can also add granular shock chlorine products to the pool, or in some cases use a floating chlorine dispenser. The rule of thumb for adding chlorine is 1 bag of shock or gallon per 10,000 gallons of pool water. You can adjust and add more if the pool is green or cloudy. At openings we typically add 1 case (4 gallons) of liquid chlorine to all pools, and 2-3 cases for low water clarity, green, or in general really dirty/algae filled pools.
Another popular option is to install a chlorine generating cell/salt system to your pool. This uses regular salt, the cell converts the salt into the sodium and chlorine components, and the chlorine sanitizes your pool. It will then convert back into salt and maintain a healthy level in the pool until it is converted again, and helps to keep the pool clean.

∙ 14y agoI think weekly is enough for a home pool. The health dept requires hourly in some counties for commercial pools.

Why carbon di oxide should be remove from water immediately?
Since excess carbon dioxide, if present in water, easily escapes to the atmosphere, tests for carbon dioxide should be performed immediately after collection of water sample (especially for ground water samples which usually contain high carbon dioxide).
How is water useful for your daily lives?
Water is important in our daily lives, as our bodies have 75 percent water. If we do not drink enough water then we shall die.
What causes water to become basic?

Where does Most debris from a nuclear weapons test go?
In atmospheric tests, winds carry most of it away and it becomes fallout that can be scattered nearly anywhere, depending on altitude and weather conditions. Most tests from 1945 to 1963 were of this type, after 1963 a few atmospheric tests were performed by countries that had not signed the LTBT of 1963.In tests in space it becomes captured in the earth's magnetic field, forming artificial radiation belts (similar to the natural Van Allen belts, which are formed by the earth's magnetic field capturing the solar wind) and causing artificial auroras near the north and south poles. None of these have been performed since 1963.In underwater tests it becomes mixed with the water and may generate radioactive spray and fog, depending on the depth of the burst. None of these have been performed since 1963.In shallow underground tests, it is similar to atmospheric tests but worse as large amounts of radioactive dirt and rocks become part of the debris. None of these have been performed since 1963.In properly tamped deep underground tests, all the debris is captured in the sphere of molten glass formed by the heat of the blast melting the rock around it. Almost all tests since 1963 have been of this type.etc.
