What is free chlorine in a pool?
Free Chlorine is the Chlorine which is free to do its work in the pool, as opposed to Combined Chlorine which is chlorine that has combined with contaminants and is tied up and ineffective as a sanitizer in the pool. Sometimes you will see it abbreviated as FAC, which stands for Free Available Chlorine.
What is Use of chlorine?
Chlorine or an alternate form of sanitizer is necessary to kill bacteria which would grown in pool water if left untreated.
Is a salt water or chlorine pool better?
A Salt water pool is a chlorine pool. The difference is that in the case of a saltwater pool there is a chlorinater fited inline that converts the salt into chlorine automaticaly, Meaning that you don't have to purchace any chlorine to keep up chlorine levels.
Can I chlorinate the salt water in my pool after my chlorinator died?
Yes, you can dio without the chlorinator. You can leave it in place, without tables, or you can disconnect and remove it, whichever you prefer. The saline system will produce all of the sanitizer (chlorine) your pool requires (provided it is the correct size for your pool).
What are the benefits of using ozinators and chlorinators in combination?
The Chlorine is the main sanitizer the Ozone helps use less chlorine which is always good. Also if you forget to add sanitizer your pool or spa will not turn into pea soup the Ozone is always on as long as the pump in running so you are always sanitized.
Why are your trees and shrubs dying after your neighbor drained his chlorine pool into your backyard?
Chlorine is used as a sanitizer for pools, not a fertilizer for plant. It kills things, like bacteria. Chlorine is a chemical and will kill, or at best, hurt plant and trees. Never just dump your pool water on or near plants and trees. Go to: www.clean-pool-and-spa.com/swimming-pool-maintenance-tips.html for more info.
Is the chlorine produced in saltwater pool any different from a health or environmental perspective than chlorine used in chlorine pool?
salt water pools don't use chlorine salts, they are bromine salts. So yes, saltwater pool are better for you.
If bromine is causing some swimmers to itch badly does it need shocking or would it be better to switch to chlorine?
You would be FAR better off switching to 'chlorine'. Then, better off still by going to 'salt', rather than munual chlorination. The saline system eliminates all of the obnoxious effects of pool-chlorine (odors, skin irritations, damaged hair and bathing suits etc) while still producing chlorine, the most effective sanitizer known for pools.
Is a saltwater pool better than a cholinated pool?
They are one and the same. THEY BOTH ARE CHLORINE POOLS!!!
How do you get the ideal reading of chlorine in the pool?
When chlorine enters the water, it is in a form that is an active sanitizer and an oxidizer called "free chlorine". It will react with any number of contaminants in the water. When it reacts with ammonia compounds in the water, which come from bathers' perspiration and urine, it becomes "combined chlorine". In this form, chlorine is a much slower sanitizer. This form also causes chlorine odor and eye irritation. When using the 5-way strip, the difference between the free chlorine reading (pad 1) and the total chlorine reading (pad 2) is the combined chlorine reading.
Do you add shock to your pool to close it in winter If you have a salt water system?
The salt in the water is not effective unless the pump is running, which generates chlorine. So yes, extra sanitizer will need to be added. Check sanitizer once a week to ensure
What are the Advantages and Disadvantages to UV light pool system?
Ultraviolet sanitizers work by creating ozone, which is far more effective than chlorine as a sanitizer. However ultraviolet does not produce as much ozone as carona discharge systems. With ozone you will use less chlorine. I don't know a downside of using ozone.
