What else can I help you with?
What are the consequences of the pool man accidentally adding chlorine to your saline pool?
He should pay to have the pool emptied, cleaned and refilled with the saline. That is what he is responsible for if he made the mistake. The owner could take him to court over it and win.
Can you add saline to a chlorine pool to clear algae and soften the H2O without totally converting to a saline system?
Yes you can. Start with 1/4 the normal amount that a salt pool would use.
What are the factors to consider in converting from traditional chlorine pool to saline pool?
Will you know how to maintain the salt generator. Read ALL material - manuals, instructions, dealers recommendations and know how to react to situations that arrise.
How do you convert from baquacil to chlorine if algae is present in the pool?
To get rid of algae in a Baquacil pool, the best thing to use is the Performance Algaecide. The algae will actually get worse if converting because you have to wait until the Baqua reading is at zero before converting which could take at least several days because the Oxidizer is designed to last for an entire month. I can send you instructions by e-mail re converting from baquacil to chlorine and/or the saline system. E-mail me. What is your email address?
How can you make your pool saline and not chlorine?
To make your pool saline and not chlorine, you would install a saltwater chlorinator system. This system uses salt to produce chlorine through the process of electrolysis, eliminating the need to manually add chlorine to the pool. Saltwater pools are often preferred for their milder chlorine levels and potential cost savings in the long run.
Does swimming make your hair dry?
Yes, the chlorine in pools dries out your hair. Try swimming in a saline pool or out in the ocean.
What are the advantages and disadvantages for alternatives to chlorine for pool maintenance?
The advantage offered by most 'alternatives' is that they, at best, reduce the amount of chlorine you need to add. The only alternative which does the entire job on its own is the Saline (salt) System and although it produces 'chlorine' (from salt dissolved in the pool water) it results in NONE of the obnoxious features attributed to chlorine - no skin irritations, no chlorine odors, no red eyes, no hair damage. A saline pool does not need 'shock' chemicals nor does it require algaecides. Whatever you do, don't get sucked into believing that baquacil is a good alternative.
How does saline swimming pool water effect a swimmer's health?
I have a salt water pool. My skin does not feel dried out after drying off like in a regular Chlorine pool. I cannot say scientifically it is better but my skin and hair feel better
Is it less tiring to swim in a saline pool?
The salt in a saline pool will help you float, so it probably is easier to swim in.
How do you dispense chlorine in a pool if you have kids and the floaters worry you?
I assume by 'floaters' you mean chlorine tablet floaters, and not the floaters the kids produce. either way, I agree they are worrisome. A Saline (salt water0 system will solve your problem. Without doubt the safest and best way to purify pools with kids in. The sanitizer (or chlorine) is produced near the filter from the pure natural 'salt' dissolved in the pool water. The pool water will be perfectly healthy without you having to add chlorine floater or any other form of chlorine to the pool. No algaecides or 'shock' chemicals either.
What should you add to a salt water pool besides salt to keep the pool at top condition?
I assume that you understand that 'salt' alone will do nothing for your pool and that you require the Saline System equipment. Salt is added initially andthereafter only top up salt is required (maybe a couple of 50 pound bags per year, on average). A saline pool requires everything that any other pool requires, with ONE EXCEPTION. The saline system will produce the sanitizer, so you do not need to add any sanitizing/oxidizing chemicals such as 'pool chlorine', algaecide or 'shock' chemicals. Everything else is the same and must be maintained as per normal pool care recommendations (pH, alkalinity, conditioner, calcium hardness etc). A salt water pool converts the salt in the pool electronically to produce chlorine gas which is then dissolved into the water, so aside from making sure the salt content in the pool is OK the treatment is about the same. Except you don't have to put chlorine in
How do you remove stains from a gunite pool after converting to chlorine from baquacil?
Keep the acid content too high for a while and a lit of staining will tend to get bleached out.
