clear
Maybe too much chlorine bleaching out strips try diluting a sample to see if you can get colour in the strips , try half pool water half tap then quarter pool and three quarters tap if colours appear then you have too much chlorine, also check your pH is below 7.8 as above this chlorine doesn't work properly
The best thing to do if you are inexperienced in pool maintenance it to take a sample of water from your pool in a clean bottle from about an arms length in depth to you local pool shop. There they will test the water for free and tel you how much chlorine your pool needs. Take along the dimensions of the pool as well for them to calculate the requirements.
No you will not have a salt water pool. yes you will have salt water but the actual electronic plates found in a genrator converts the salt in the water to chlorine to sanitize the pool water. A: You have to have the mechanical device to produce the chlorine in a salt pool. THE SALT A MEANS TO PRODUCE CHLORINE FOR YOUR POOL!
opening a pool is different then closing a pool because opening the pool is when the pool is all filled up with water an fixed an has chlorine in it and closing the pool is if u don't have no chlorine in it and it is not fixed or don't have no water in it
Just wait it out the chlorine will dissipate after a couple of days. if you have a salt water pool turn the chlorine generator down or run the filter less often if possible.
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.
Chlorinated
Use one gallon of chlorine for every 10,000 gallons of water.
First measure the ppm chlorine level that your pool is at. Next see what the ratio of chlorine is specified on the back of the chlorine package. For example to raise the pool 1 ppm add 13 ounces of chlorine to a 10,000 gal pool. Then set up a ratio of your pool size.
you don't put chlorine in the bath tub you put it in pool,and hot tubs, public water ect.
The chlorine is reacting to minerals in the water.
The sun and the chlorine are the worst things for a liner but there is not much you can do about that try dissolving the chlorine in a bucket of water before adding to pool it does help some but as i said there is not much to stop it.
