bleach, 1 ounce for every 500 Gallons
water chemistry effects sanitizer level- adding water dilutes sanitizer level - rain dilutes plus puts enviromental pollution into the pool - your swim load affects sanitizer level - your water temperature (Warm) and the Sun can burn out the sanitizer level- was the filter running was the pool crystal clear what type of filter do you have? To many variables, take a pool water sample to your nearest dealer and discuss your problem with them so they can properly diagnose your pool
Yes, as the generator creates the sanitizer for the pool, just throwing salt in it won't do anything
Baquacil Sanitizer and Algistat are typically added to a pool in the skimmer or directly into the water. This ensures even distribution throughout the pool. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the correct dosage and timing to maintain optimal water quality and sanitation. Regular testing of water chemistry is also recommended to ensure effective sanitation.
Check with your local pool supply store and see if they have biogaurd supplies. If so then ask them for a sanitizer in that brand. It is the best. My husband used to do pools and I helped, I know it works. Good Luck!!
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
My guess is that the pool was under-sanitized (insufficient chlorine for example) before you started adding the fill water. The fill water is also probably under-sanitized, or at best would have very little chlorine in it (and possibly some phosphates). You should keep a good residual of free-and-available sanitizer (chlorine for example) at all times - and add more sanitizer to cater for new topup water.
Chlorine or an alternate form of sanitizer is necessary to kill bacteria which would grown in pool water if left untreated.
If there is too much calcium in your pool water, it can lead to scaling on pool surfaces and equipment. This can affect water flow in pipes, reduce the effectiveness of sanitizer, and create cloudy water. It is recommended to maintain calcium hardness levels within the recommended range to prevent these issues.
The best method of purifying your pool water is, without doubt, the saline (salt) water system. With only pure natural salt added to the water (very mild salinity, 1/3rd as salty as your own tears) a Saline System will produce all of the sanitizer your pool needs. It completely eliminates the need to add pool-chlorine, algaecides and 'shock' chemicals. Annual operating cost is as little as 410 worth of topup salt. You will have the best water you have ever seen or swum in, guaranteed.
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.
ANSWER: Keeping your pool clean and clear is all a matter of balance. Just enough sanitizer, enough water movement, the right pH and temperature, and regular brushing and vacuuming. The two most important things to consider are sanitizer and water movement. Stagnant water breeds bacteria and other micro-organisms, which is fine if you are a pond, but not so desirable if you happen to be a swimming pool. Humans also introduce bacteria into the pool, as well as oils Use a sanitizer to kill the bacteria and help control algae growth. The most common sanitizers are chlorine and bromine based compounds. · Ideally, your pump should run for about 10 hrs a day. If all else fails, a coagulating agent, usually a polymer, can be used.
One of the best ways to prevent problems with your swimming pool is by running the pump and circulating the water. The best care for the pool varies depending on the type of pool you have but keeping proper water chemistry is important for any pool.
