Should chlorination be off when you add pH plus in salt water pool?

If you have never had a pool before, it would be best to take a sample to your local pool store each week to be analyzed. They will give you a print out of how much of each chemical to add. In the meantime, sign up for a course on pool water chemical management at your local college. Or you can buy a book on pool chemical servicing and teach yourself. But still take a sample weekly to store and compare your decisions for chemicals to theirs until they are the same.

∙ 11y agoDepends on how low the pH is. If it is really, really low then leave the pump off and broadcast soda ash across the water surface. You can vacuum up the residue an hour or so later if the pH is no longer acidic (below 7.0). If the pH is just slightly low you can add the soda ash into the skimmer with the pump running. The point is to not run acidic water through the copper heat exchangers if there is a heater.

What is water hyper-chlorination?
Hyper chlorination is the raising of pool chlorine levels to 10 - 20 times the normal level, much higher then shocking of a pool which is 5 - 10 times normal.
Is it harmful for your dog to drink chlorinated swimming pool water?
No, the chlorination will not harm the dog.
How do you determine if water is clear after a well chlorination?
First thing to understand is it will NOT be clear for a 2-3 days after chlorination. This is normal - then after about a week, you test it with a pool clarity and Ph kit.
Can you make an Epsom salt water pool?
The usual reason for salt in a pool is for chlorination. Epsom salt won't work with salt/chlorine generators. BUT, you can add epsom salt to your water.
How can you remove stains from wood chips in a salt system pool?
My experience is that the stains will go away by themselves, through the effects of the chlorination of the water. Does not matter if the pool is a salt pool or fresh water pool. If the pool has a plaster finish, brushing the stains with a wire pool brush will speed up the process.
What is chlorinated water?
Hyper chlorination is the raising of pool chlorine levels to 10 - 20 times the normal level, much higher then shocking of a pool which is 5 - 10 times normal.
How do salt levels in salt pool go up?
If you are adding salt to a salt water pool with a salt water chlorination system and the TDS level does not go up then the problem probably lies with the chlorination system not working (the electrolysis unit or power supply). Adding salt directly to the pool will increase the TDS (Total Dissolved Salts) concentration of the water.
What is meant by electro chlorination system?
That would mean a saltwater pool. With a salt water pool the water is run through a electronic chlorinater this is a device that separates chlorine from the salt turns it into chlorine gas which is then simultaneously dissolved into the water. you never have to add chlorine.
How do you convert a saltwater pool to a chlorine pool?
Turn of the salt water chlorination and start adding chlorine the same as you would in an ordinary pool. The salt water in the pool will become less salty over time so you don't have to worry about changing the water. You could tidy it up a little by removing the saltwater chlorinator element or you could just leave it.
How do you remove black and gray stains on the floor of a fiberglass pool left by leaves and earth worms that an acid wash did not remove?
I was told to just super chlorinate the water. You may have to repeat with the super chlorination, but over time, stains should fade away.
How much salt is needed in a pool of 30000 liters that over flowed with the rain and the chlorine is very high?
If you don't have an indicator with the chlorination equipment, go to a pool shop where they will be able to supply you with the equipment to tell you this. Take a sample of water with you as they can probably do it for you in the shop.
Does chlorine raise or lower pH?
depending on the volume of chlorine you put in your pool. Chlorination or simply the adding of chlorine to water is extensively used in many water treatment facilities primarily to disinfect or kill harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria.
