Before adding stabilizer (cyanuric acid) to a pool, the pH level should ideally be between 7.2 and 7.8, and the chlorine reading should be at or near the recommended level of 1-3 ppm for free chlorine. It’s important to ensure these parameters are balanced because high or low pH can affect the efficacy of the stabilizer and chlorine. Adjusting these levels first will help maintain optimal water chemistry and improve overall pool sanitation.
What else can I help you with?
You changed your baquacil to chlorine and it went greeny brown?
That means Chlorine was added before the Baquacil readings had reached zero.
Do you need to correct the PH in a swimming pool before adding chlorine?
Everythging works better when the balance is correct, but you do not need to correct the pH before adding chlorine. Just keep an eye on it.
What makes a pool liner brittle?

Can chlorine be added while swimming?
Answer You would be better off waiting a day or two.
How do you switch from chlorine to baquacil?
To switch from chlorine to Baquacil, start by discontinuing the use of chlorine products and wait for chlorine levels to drop to zero. Test the water for chlorine and pH levels before adding Baquacil according to manufacturer's instructions. It may also be necessary to clean or replace the filter system to prevent any residual chlorine from affecting the Baquacil effectiveness.
How long after adding liquid chlorine to your pool is it safe to swim?
It is generally safe to swim in a pool after adding liquid chlorine once the chlorine levels have dropped to recommended levels for swimming, which typically takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour. It is important to test the chlorine levels before entering the pool to ensure it is safe for swimming.
Can you had chlorinating tabs the same day you shock pool?
Yes, you can add chlorine tablets on the same day you shock your pool, but it's advisable to wait a few hours after shocking to allow the high chlorine levels from the shock treatment to dissipate. Shocking raises chlorine levels significantly, and adding tablets immediately might not allow for optimal distribution and effectiveness. Always check the pool's chlorine levels before adding more chemicals to ensure safety and proper balance.
What chemical goes in a pool first?
The chemical that usually goes in a pool is chlorine. This is the first chemical as well as the last chemical to enter the water.
When can you swim after adding chlorine and salt?
You should wait at least 30 minutes after adding chlorine and salt before swimming. This will give the chemicals enough time to mix thoroughly in the water and ensure that the levels are safe for swimming. It is important to test the water regularly to maintain proper chemical balance.
How long wait chlorine in pool?
I'm not sure what you mean. If your qeustion is how long do you have to wait to swim after adding chlorine, it really depends. If you're adding chlorine to bring the level up to 2.0 or 3.0ppm, then wait minimum 1 hour before swimming, and be sure the filter is on. If you're shocking the pool and bringing the level up to 10-12ppm, you need to wait until the pool reaches a safe level as stated above.
Why do test strips show no chlorine reading even after stabilizer and chlorine were added if the pH and alkalinity are fine?
How much chlor added? Add at least a gallon of chlor. less if vinyl pool. Test in 20 min. and adjust as needed. Ph and alk = fine. Hmm, what are your readings? How old are test strips? Have they been left in the sun or outside? = no good then get new ones. k
Why does the chlorine stabaliser not dissolve?
Chlorine stabilizer, also known as cyanuric acid, is slow to dissolve in water because it is a large molecule that requires time to break down and disperse. It should be pre-dissolved in a bucket of water before adding it to the pool to help it dissolve more easily and prevent clumping.
