How often does a pump need to run in order to maintain chlorine level with a chlorine generator?

Summertime = depending on your system = 8 -12 minimum and could be as much as 18 hrs. daily. Start at 8 hrs. - if that will not maintain water clarity boost in one hour increments until clarity is achieved. By "clarity" I mean being able to nearly read a quarter when it is at the bottom of the deepest end of the pool. Along with boosted run time, you also have to maintain chlorine and pH levels either manually or mechanically

How often should you check pool chemicals?
Chlorine, pH, Alkalinity weekly in swimming season Calcium, stabilizer, salt (if you have a Chlorine generator) metals monthly
What are the chemical levels in an ozone pool?
If ozone is being used as the primary steriliant, a dissolved ozone level of around 0.1 ppm should be sufficient to maintain clarity, without too much "air stripping" of ozone as divers enter the water, or swimmers leave. Perhaps a better measurement would be simply to maintain an ORP / redox of 500 mV or higher. Using bromine as the primary steriliant, and reactivating it with ozone is probably superior in terms of the size of ozone generator required. Bromine has a lower vapor pressure than chlorine, so it could be months between additions of makeup bromine. Monitor / maintain your hardness and pH as you would any pool. Since you aren't adding chlorine compounds with strong effects on both, this should be much less often.
What is a chlorine water filter used for?
Chlorine water filters are used to remove chlorine from a source of water. It can be used to remove the taste of chlorine from water and is often used in pools.
Do chlorine tablets get old?
Yes, they do. If you are using the kind of chlorine tablets that dissolve, then they need to be replaced often.
Why Bleach is often called chlorine bleach?
Chlorine is one of the active ingredients and lets you know exactly what you are purchasing
How often should you be using the chlorine booster in a saltwater pool system?
If you look at it from the point of view of economy then its a matter of weighing out the difference in the expense of running the chlorine generator long enough to produce the required chlorine. or the cost of the extra chlorine. Often when saltwater chlorinators are installed they are under size to make the sale easier. so a third option is to install a larger chlorine generator. Theoretically you shouldn't have to boost the chlorine at all.

What do you do if there is too much chlorine in your pool?
Just wait it out the chlorine will dissipate after a couple of days. if you have a salt water pool turn the chlorine generator down or run the filter less often if possible.
What are Chlorinators used for?
Chlorinators are often used to maintain the level of chlorine in swimming pools. They put chlorine into the water to kill bacteria. The chlorinator can be regulated so that the amount of chlorine is enough to disinfect the water but not enough to irritate the skin and eyes of swimmers.

Chlorine is often used in water purification to do what?
Chlorine is added to water to kill pathogens.
Which substance is often used to kill bacteria in water?
You are probably thinking of chlorine.
My chlorine level is a light orange what's the problem?
Light orange, eh? I know of two tests for chlorine level, OTO and DPD, and neither should be orange. Try to find a pool store near you that does pool testing, they can do a full test and give you advice. If you're using test strips that are older than a year or test drops that are older than 2 years or have been left outside in extreme heat, sun, or cold, they could have gone bad, and may need to be replaced. It's possible that, if the chlorine level is usually yellow, then the orange is indicating a high chlorine level. I've never seen it happen, but I don't use that type of test often. If that's the case, then you should not swim in the pool for a while, until your chlorine level is back to yellow, and possibly look for the chemical "thiosulfate" or "chlor neutralizer" or "chorine remover" - that can bring an excessively high chlorine level back down.

What complicates the diagnosis of CFI?
Diagnosis is often complicated by the fact that the patient will be reluctant to admit how the injury happened. The treating physician must maintain a high level of suspicion and often ask directly.
Do chlorine tablets get old?
Yes, they do. If you are using the kind of chlorine tablets that dissolve, then they need to be replaced often.
When using an ionizer how often should you shock the pool?
The length of time between pool shocks varies. It depends on factors such as how often the pool is used, how many people use the pool and other factors. It is best to have a test kit to check the chlorine level and the pH balance to decide how often to add chlorine or to shock the pool.
