you may have metals in your water especially if its well water. Use metal free before you add chlorine.
it would not.
When your water pipes freeze up, there is the tendency for the water to be brown or reddish brown right after they thaw. The is caused by rust in the pipes. You need to turn the faucets on and let the water flow out until it runs clear again.
we can get clear water from a given sample of a muddy water by the method of decantation.
They would go into shock and die quickly.
One reason in particular is that water is a conductor of electricity. By giving said patient water would cause more shock.
no need to shock with chlorine but you still have to maintain it like you would with any other pool of water
You need to put an algicide in your water. If there is metal in the water, the metal will react with the chlorine shock and turn green or brown. Certain areas of the country have naturally high levels of metal in the groundwater, so that you will have to use a chelating agent every time top off your pool.
