This depends on the amount of chlorine the pool uses and this depends on how much use it gets the weather the amount of dust and debris falling into it etc. the only way to know is to test the water for free chlorine or have it tested by your pool shop. Test kits are also available at the pool shop and many department stores. A: After a few weeks of testing your pool you will become familiar with what it takes to adequately control the chlor. content in the pool. Each and every pool is different. It could take endless amounts of chlor. if you do not have any conditioner in the water. Haven't calculated the amount you list into gallons but would think one to 2 gal at a time at least once per week. TEST THE WATER EACH TIME.
One gallon of liquid chlorine is the amount that needs to be added to a 5500 gallon pool. This should be done just prior to pool season and just after its final use for the year.
about 3 oz.
Use one gallon of chlorine for every 10,000 gallons of water.

how much chlorine do I put for a 1,718 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.
To disolve chlorine more gradual into the swimming pool it's better to use chlorine tables because the smaller surface of a tablet in comparison to a powder will make the tablet dissolve more slowly.
normally when there is no reading for chlorine means that you need it, put 1 gallon of liquid shock in your pool. that will raise the chlorine level, cheryl
Depends on how much is already in the pool and the concentration of the liquid chlorine. IF you are just staring out, try using a half a gallon and measure with an OTO tester after a couple of hours. You are shooting for a minimum level of 1 PPM chlorine and 7.2 pH. Hatawa
Chlorine is usually kept in the pool at all times in the form of a tablet, if you mean the chlorine shock treatment which is a poweder that dissloves into the pool, I'd give it anywhere from 30 minutes to a day, depending on how much powder you've used to how many tablets are currently in the pool. Chlorine won't necessarily hurt you, since we swim in pools with it all the time, but it can burn your olfactory senses.
Purchase a good test kit for chlorine, pH and total alkalinity. Add chlorine to the pool. After about 20 minutes - time for the chlorine to circulate - test again. If no chlorine 'reading - add more chlorine. As an example a 15' x 30' plaster pool with no chlorine and with the proper amount of CYA will usually take about a gallon to bring the chlorine readings up to near required standards. REPEATED testing and the addition of chemicals will give you an idea what it takes for YOUR individual pool. Note: the same size pool next door with similar conditions may require different amounts to acquire the same results. k
It depends on how big the pool is. From :)
ppm = lbs Chlorine / lbs of water given: 1 ppm = 1 x 10e-6 1 gallon of water = 8.33 lbs 1 lb = 454 grams Therefore; 4x10e-6 = lbs Chlorine/(3000 x 8.33) lbs Chlorine = 4x10e-6 x 3000 x 8.33 lbs Chlorine = 0.09996 or 0.09996 lb x 454grams/lb = 45.38 grams 4ppm of Chlorine in a 3000 gallon pool is: 0.09996 lbs which is about 45.38 grams
