Salt water pool systems vs chlorine which is better?
A salt water pool is a chlorine pool. The difference is that in a normal fresh water pool you have to add the chlorine as it is required. In the case of the salt water pool salt is added to the pool which is int urn run through a chlorine generator that is installed on the pipe leading from the filter to the pool. The chlorine generator electronically separates chlorine gas out of the salt water which then dissolves into the water automatically maintaining chlorine levels. The adidion of salt to the water makes it more pleasant to swim in and you are spared having to handle and store chlorine at home. but the problem is you are still swimming in Chlorine and now you are also swimming in sodium.
Is chlorine less dense or more dense than water?
Chlorine gas is less dense than water, so it will float on top of water if the two are in contact.
Does a water softener remove chlorine?
Yes, a water softener can remove chlorine from water, although its primary function is to remove minerals that cause water hardness. For effective chlorine removal, a specific chlorine filter or carbon filter may be more suitable.
What is the use of chlorine in water?
Chlorine, as well as other sanitizers for water, kill bacteria and algae in the pool water to keep it more safe for bathers.
Can you remove chlorine from water by boiling it?
Boiling water can remove some chlorine, but not all of it. Chlorine gas can escape as the water boils, but some may remain. Other methods, like using a water filter or letting the water sit out, may be more effective at removing chlorine.
Is chlorine more soluble in hot or cold water?
Chlorine is generally more soluble in cold water than in hot water. As the temperature of water increases, the solubility of many gases, including chlorine, typically decreases. This is because higher temperatures provide more energy for gas molecules to escape the liquid phase. Therefore, chlorine dissolves better in cooler conditions.
Is chlorine soluble in hot or cold water?
Chlorine is soluble in both hot and cold water. In fact, it dissolves more easily in cooler water than in warmer water.
Why is your pool green when the chlorine level is right?
Chlorine is not particularly good at getting rid of algae once it gets established in the water so just having the chlorine levels right wont fix it. As a matter of fact the algae will reduce the effectiveness of the pools chlorine and make the water more hazardous to swim in. The best thing to do is to get some algaecide from your pool shop and while you are at it take along a sample of your pool water as you may need to make some other changes in your water balance to prevent the problem from reoccurring pool shops do these tests free of charge and its a lot easier then doing it all yourself.
Does Aquafina dasani or Publix spring water have more chlorine?
No chlorine in Publix Spring Water, but it does contain some other chemicals besides H2O.
Why would your pool water be even cloudier the day after you add two gallons of chlorine?
You have to add more chlorine.
If a pool smells like chlorine is it imbalanced?
This question can only be answered by testing the water. There are alot more parameters to water being balanced than just chlorine. I would rather swim in a pool that smelled like chlorine than not. At least you know there is some chlorine in the water.. THE ABOVE IS WRONG!!! If you smell "chlorine" you do not have enough free chlorine in the water. Chlorine in and of itself is odorless. The only time it smells is when it combines with organic compounds like skin cells, tanning lotions, etc. What you are smelling is "combine chlorine" which is incapable of sanitizing the water. You must therefore "shock" the pool with a high dose of chlorine or other substance to get rid of the combined chlorine and leave sufficient amounts of "free" chlorine available to disinfect the water. If a pool smells...don't swim in it until they add more chlorine!
What is compound name for ClO?
ClO- isHypochlorite.ClO2- is Chlorite.ClO3- is Chlorate.ClO4- is Perchlorate.It's good to memorize all four of those if you are having a chemistry test on polyatomic ions.(Edited, remember the one with more oxygen is always prefixed with "-per")
