How do you lower chlorine level in pool?

You add water to the pool


How do you lower the chlorine level in the jacuzzi?

if you are floating chlorine tabs take them out it the chlorine will eventually turn back to it's natural state which is a gas and just simply go away


Why is oxygen gas produced from the decomposition of H2O2 and not hydrogen gas?

Hydrogen has a much lower attraction for electrons than oxygen does (or in more technical terms, oxygen has a much higher electronegativity). So when hydrogen gives up an electron to oxygen, it creates a strong chemical bond (although not an ionic bond; hydrogen's electronegativity is too high for that). When hydrogen peroxide gives up excess oxygen, the hydrogen remains bonded to the remaining oxygen (since hydrogen peroxide becomes water, H2O). If instead the hydrogen peroxide were to give up hydrogen, you would lose the powerful bond between hydrogen and oxygen, and all you would get in exchange would be a much weaker bond between hydrogen atoms and other hydrogen atoms, in the diatomic hydrogen molecule. Chemical reactions move in the direction of the strongest available bonds.


Does chlorine lower PH in the pool?

No


How do you lower the combined chlorine level?

Actually you add more chlorine, I would recommend 12 1/2% liquid. You need to reach the breakthrough superchlorination point to oxidize the contaminants creating the chloramine or combined chlorine. You can also use potassium monopersulfate which is a non-chlorine oxidizer and will allow you to use the pool sooner as it will only free up the chlorine already in the pool. Depending on several factors you may need to add some chlorine after using the PMS.

When you use baking soda do you use chlorine to?

I didn't but my chlorine level is high and I don't know what to use to lower it.


What element used to disinfect pools?

Well the average pH level of a pool should be 7.4 if its any lower or higher it's not safe for swimmers!!!! To disinfect you should take a sample to a pool store they will probably tell you to buy salt. Some chemicals used for the disinfection of pools waters: chlorine, sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, ozone, etc.

Who did you write hydrochloric acid?

HCl is hydrochloric acid. That might look like a one, but it is a lower-case L. H=Hydrogen, Cl=Chlorine.HCl is hydrochloric acid. That might look like a one, but it is a lower-case L. H=Hydrogen, Cl=Chlorine.


What is the molecular weigh of hydrogen peroxide?

The density of a hydrogen peroxide solution will vary slightly based on the exact concentration of hydrogen peroxide. Solutions with higher concentrations will be slightly more dense. However, the density at lower concentrations is around the density of water, 1g/cm3.


What do you need to do if your free chlorine level is higher than your total chlorine level?

Get a new test kit or new test reagents. Total Chlorine is the measure of free and combined chlorine, therefore the free chlorine cannot be higher than the Total Chlorine. You can't put 10 gallons of water in a 5 gallon bucket.

I douched with hydrogen peroxide and got blisters on my lower vulva. Did I burn myself or cause an infection?

Did you dilute it? It should be a a mixture of no stronger than 1:3.

Is there any cause for concern if the chlorine level of your pool is 3 or higher?

No. You can go to 10.0. Now if you have a vinyl liner that chlor level might have to be lower. k
