Can you add powder chlorine to a pebble tec pool?
Yes, you can add powder chlorine to a Pebble Tec pool. However, it's important to dissolve the powder in water first before adding it to the pool to prevent any potential damage to the surface. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for dosage and application. Additionally, be sure to test and balance your pool water afterward to maintain optimal water chemistry.
How much de powder for 17000 gallon pool?
You add diatomaceous earth (de) powder to a pool based on the size of the filter. Most pool filters have a plate on the side telling you how much de powder you need to add. If your filter does not have such a plate, the general formula is that you add 1 lb. of de powder for every 10 sq. ft. of filter area. That is, you need to measure the length, width, of your filter, taking the pleats into account, and use the formula "sq. ft. = length x width" to determine the square footage of your filter.
How do you clean a pool that is almost empty and has black water and the filter is not working?
SHOCK!! Its a powder you can buy at a pool store or chemical store.. its chlorine in powder form, you just dump it in your pool stir it up a bit, wait a day or two, and the pool should be clean.
Can use of powder pool shock damage pool liners?
It's best to pour the bag of shock into an empty gallon jug, say from algecide or water and then fill it with water till it dissolves then pour in thru skimmer. If the powder just sits on the pool liner bottom, it will eat at the vinyl.
How pure is pool water?
it is a mixture because H2O is a compound and chlorine is an element, element + compound = mixture, so if pool water is H2O + Cl, then it is a mixture
Pool deck is stamp touchup colored powder and some got in pool water and made it cloudy how can you clean out of pool?
I would read the ingredient list on the package and find out if there are poisons in the powder and if so I would drain the pool and clean all the surfaces and then refill. If there are no poisons in the powder then putting a soft cloth over the skimmer (make sure water still passes through) will collect the particles, cleaning all the surfaces in the pool with some clothes will help to reduce the particles.

Why would a DE pool filter pump the DE back into the pool via the water jets as soon as DE is put into the skimmers instead of adhering to the filter?
Check the grid and manifolds for holes or cracks.
Do you have to add DE powder everytime you clean your DE filters?
Yes. It is important because grids inside will not get clogged by dirt, dust and other elements getting into pool and will not brake that easily. Also pool water will look better and you will have easier filter cleaning next time. Add some D.E. after backwash, too.
Where is it best to drain de filter?
Drain it to your sewer if possible DE as a powder is hazardous to health so don't water the garden with it.
Is Salt filter better than DE filter for pool?
Salt is not a filter, it is added to pool water to allow a chlorine generator to operate.
If your DE filter is bad and there is DE entering the pool can you use it without DE until the new filter you ordered arrives?
To be honest you're best off just dosing the pool will a few litres of chlorine and letting it sit. The chlorine will prevent it from going green. Without DE powder it won't filter properly and you'll find you have pressure issues with the pump and filter.

Why is my pool cloudy?
Any particles in your pool can cause cloudiness - for example, dead algae. To eliminate it, most pool stores sell a "clarifier" - the one I sell is blue - which will get the particles out of your pool, or "alum" or "floc", which will bind the particles together, making them heavier, dropping them down to the bottom of your pool. You can then vacuum them out with your filter set to waste. If you have a DE filter, and you add a white powder to your skimmer sometimes, it is possible that your filter is leaking DE back into your pool and you need to replace the grids inside it.
