If you have an in-ground swimming pool with a concrete bottom and stainless steel sidewalls can you install a Salt Chlorinator System without damaging the stainless steel walls?

McNelly.com says, " The basic resistance of stainless steel occurs because of its ability to form a protective coating on the metal surface. This coating is a "passive" film which resists further "oxidation" or rusting. The formation of this film is instantaneous in an oxidizing atmosphere such as air, water, or other fluids that contain oxygen. Once the layer has formed, we say that the metal has become "passivated" and the oxidation or "rusting" rate will slow down to less than 0.002" per year (0,05 mm. per year). Unlike aluminum or silver this passive film is invisible in stainless steel. It's created when oxygen combines with the chrome in the stainless to form chrome oxide which is more commonly called "ceramic". This protective oxide or ceramic coating is common to most corrosion resistant materials. Halogen salts, especially chlorides easily penetrate this passive film and will allow corrosive attack to occur. The halogens are easy to recognize because they end in the letters "ine". Listed in order of their activity they are:
- fluorine
- chlorine
- bromine
- iodine
- astatine.

What type of flooring is best for a weight room in the basesment of a house?
Concrete is the best type of flooring for a weight room in the basesment of a house. Concrete is inexpensive, non-slip, and very durable. You will not have to worry about damaging the floor, by placing heavy equipment on top of the surface.
What happens if you mix peroxide and vinegar together?
You'll get a product that many gun silencer owners call the "dip." I think the scientific name for it is peracetic acid. If you mix 50/50 white vinegar, and peroxide together in a glass or stainless steel jar, and put a stainless steel silencer/suppressor in it, it will dissolve the lead build up right off of it. You should only use it on stainless steel, it's pretty damaging to aluminum.
Why were the builders able to build the Hoover Dam and get the concrete to dry?
Concrete does dry as it solidifies, but the water used in the mix does not evaporate and leave the remaining components of the concrete in place as a solid. When concrete sets the water chemically reacts with the solids and is incorporated into the now solid material. The main problem with the setting of the concrete in Hoover Dam was to remove the heat generate in the setting process. The concrete was poured in such thick blocks that the internal temperature would have risen to damaging levels without special procedures to remove this heat. Coolant was circulated through pipes laid in the concrete to remove this heat.
The contractor got concrete on your house when he built your wheelchair ramps how do you get it off?
This is a little tricky because concrete is very hard; you can undoubtedly get it off by chiseling it, but you run the risk of damaging the wall of the house underneath. It really depends upon how thick the layer of deposited concrete is. A thin layer can be broken off fairly easily by tapping at it with a hammer. Try it and see.
How do you connect a heat exchanger to pool boiler?
Most heaters are plumbed last in the pool piping system. First is the water pump, then the filter, then the heat pump and finally the pool. If you have a chlorinator then that will be put last in the system after the heater and before the pool and usually there is a check valve between the chlorinator and the heater to prevent a high dose of chlorine from damaging the heater. If you are going to use a heat pump then that is made from titanium then that doesn't matter as chemicals don't damage heat pumps like they do gas heaters. There are some piping diagrams at www.millsco.com that will also show you spa layouts, solar etc.
Can you pierce with acrylic jewelry?
You shouldn't, acrylic can have fissures and cracks that can harbour bacteria. Only proper surgical stainless steel or surgical titanium or Niobium should be used or a Bioplast or PTFE based material that can be autoclaved. Acrylics can not be autoclaved without damaging them.
What is type of swimming pool has the easiest maintenance?
Inground concrete or fiberglass are the easiest pools to maintain. When you get into synthetic materials like vinyl and plastic, it's harder to find chemicals that will do the work without damaging the pool.
