Is pool shock the same as chlorine?
Pool shock typically contains a higher concentration of chlorine compared to regular pool chlorine products. Pool shock is used to quickly raise the chlorine levels in the water to kill bacteria and algae, while regular pool chlorine is used for maintenance and to keep the chlorine levels stable over time.
Will over shock of pool cause it to turn green?
Not likely
We've had an inground pool for 26 yrs with no problems. We purchased a new pump this year Since then water has turned green every time I add chlorine it gets worse We've spent over 300 chemicals?
If it's a concrete pool, etching of the surface over time and less than perfect water balance can create a surface which will encourage algae growth.Or, if the water itself turns a green colour after shock treatment of chlorine what colour exactly? A blue/green colour can indicate excess copper level.
Can you put too much shock in your pool?
Shocking should be done in order to kill the chloramines. It depends on your chlorine level. For residential pools it should be 1.5-2.5ppm. For commercial, chlorine should be 3.5-4.5ppm. If you have just shocked, don't go in the water. The chlorine is probably 10-12ppm and will cause itching and burning. Wait until the level drops to a safe level, as stated above.
What should be done if your Pool Service treats your salt water pool as a Chlorinated pool and adds chlorine shock to your salt water pool by mistake?
Get over it. He made a mistake. You may point it out to him nicely of course. BTW it does not hurt or he may have felt that the pool needed it. BTW there is a mode in the salt system to shock the pool thru the system. precipitation
What is the purpose of shock therapy?
The purpose of shock therapy generally is to help those individual suffering from severe depression and resistant to traditional medicine and therapy. It is done in the hospital with a doctor preforming the procedure usually done over 8-10 sessions.
What element is a poisonous pale green gas in the periodic table?
There is no such element.However you may be thinking of a highly toxic emerald-green crystalline powder called "Paris green" that has been used as a rodenticide and insecticide, also as a pigment in paints and inks despite its toxicity, and also as a blue colorant for fireworks burning mixtures. "Paris green" is an inorganic compoundmade by a reaction between copper, acetic acid, and arsenic, with the chemical formula Cu(C2H3O2)2·3Cu(AsO2)2.
How much shock does it take to winterize 18000 gallon pool?
To winterize an 18,000-gallon pool, you'll typically need to add about 1 to 3 pounds of shock (calcium hypochlorite or chlorine shock) per 10,000 gallons of water. This means you would use around 2 to 6 pounds of shock for your pool. It's essential to ensure the chlorine level is adequately raised before closing the pool to prevent algae growth over the winter months. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and consider testing the water chemistry for optimal results.
How reduce insanity by shock treatment?
I have never heard of someone getting shock treatment to induce insanity but to reduce depression. one flew over the coco's nest with jack Nicholson & Louise fletcher was just a bit inaccurate in the things that shock treatment were done for.
How do you lower chlorine level in the pool?
Use the pool. Throw the kids and the dog into the pool, that'll use up plenty of chlorine. If the chlorine level is too high (over 10ppm or so) there is a chemical you can buy at yoiur local pool store to reduce it (I forget the name of it) but if you can, just wait, use the pool as much as you can, let the sun and natural process work and the level will come down. Here are couple practical solutions: 1. Wait for a couple of days and let the chlorine level return to normal on its own. Be sure to take your solar blanket off as sunlight will help break down the chlorine (especially if you used non-stabilized shock). 2. Use a chlorine reducing agent. They are usually called "After Shock" or something similar. These chemicals are available at your local pool supply store and are usually based on some formulation of sodium thiosulfate. The use of Sodium Thiosulphate can turn your pool water a pale green for a long time after adding it. A very small amount goes a long way. Better not to use and do the wait game. The green tint is not algae.
Will chlorine evaporate from water over time?
Yes, chlorine will evaporate from water over time.
How much chlorine in a easy up 10 ft pool?
The pool probably came with a shock-treatment type powder...this is usually all you need. When I first set mine up, it became VERY green after just one day, because I didn't add anything right away. I talked to a local pool guy, and he said to ignore the chlorine warnings on the bottle and test strips (something like 1.5-2 ppm), and get it up to about 10 ppm with the filter running non-stop. At that rate, I was cleaning the filter TWICE a day, but the green was definitely coming out. In just over a week (adding the shock treatment about every other day), I had crystal clear water, then just let it settle down to normal levels over the course of the next few days. Leaving the cover off helps, since the sunlight helps burn off excess chlorine.
