Yes it does. It's called oxidation. When your chlorine is exposed to the air it will lose it's effectiveness. Try this: Empty some out in another bucket, then empty the rest into a regular plastic garbage bag, put the bag back into the bucket, then add the rest. Remember to twist the top and get as much air out as possible. This will help.

How do you get pool chlorine level down?

Be sure to follow the product instructions carefully to avoid over-treating the water.

What is the best way to convert a pool from bacquicil product to chlorine?

That is not an easy answer but here goes! Baqualcil is not compatible with chlorine in any way shape or form so the best thing to do if you biguinide level is above 30ppm is to ride it down let if go until the level is 30ppm or lower. Take you pool water to a pool store and have it professionally analyzed. Once you are at that point you want to shock the pool with 3 pounds of monopersulfate per 10,000 gallons of pool water 3 days in a row. Then have the water check again at the pool store to make sure your level is below 10ppm. Once this is done add 3 pounds of calcium hypochlorite per 10,000 gallons of pool water. Make sure the shock is at least 65% available chlorine or higher. The pool will turn green do no panic! Next, if you have a sand filter, change the sand in the filter. If you have a DE filter use a chemical cleaner that is designed to clean biquinide filters, if you have a cartridge filter do the same as a DE filter. Now it is time to start using chlorine tablets. Keep in mind that every time you shock the pool for the next 2-3 times the pool will turn a light green then go to blue overnight this will slow go away over time.


Is solid chlorine expensive?

Chlorine is a gas at room temperature. It can be purchased in cylinders for the swimming pool industry. From there it depends on what you call expensive. You can't just go down to the local store and buy it. Solid chlorine would need to be stored at below -34oC . This would be expensive.

Does a saltwater pool require the PH to be adjusted more than a non salt pool?

A salt water pool is still a chlorine pool, but a weaker form of chlorine if you will! Your PH is affected by the reaction of the "chlorine" with the contamination in the pool. Your salt generated chlorine is working harder to kill the bacteria that it can kill. Therefore there is more "demand" in your pool which will require a more consitant Ph adjustment to keep the chlorine active! The "kill rate" or time it takes to kill, of salt generated chlorine is nearly double that of chlorine. E-coli for instance can live in a chlorine pool for up to 96 hours. A salt pool, as much as 180 hours. YUCK! You should be aware that many common pool bacteria have grown immune to chlorine and salt generated chlorine! Chlorine or salt does not kill Cryptosporidium or Girardia! Science has moved well beyond chemical additon to swimming pools. Check the World Health Organizations- Healthy Pool Guidelines! Ultraviolet is the way to go! Jon La

Is it safe for a snake to go swimming in a swimming pool?

Here is the deal. a "salt water pool" IS a chlorine pool. Only difference is, on a chlorine pool u add chlorine. In a salt pool u add salt and a "Salt Generator" turns the sslt into chlorine... so really both pools use chlorine.... Just saves u the trouble of messing with chlorine and chlorine shocks..
