What else can I help you with?
What if both your free chlorine and total chlorine is low?
Add more chlorine. More to it than that. Test & if necessary correct the pH first - that's important. Calculate correct dose rate of chlorine & add accordingly. If it's an outdoor pool switch to stabilised chlorine if not already using it.
How many chlorine has isotopes?
Chlorine has a lot of different isotopes but the 2 stable ones are chlorine 35 and chlorine 37
What atoms are in chlorine?
Chlorine (Cl) atoms make up the element chlorine.
Is there chlorine in chlorine dioxide?
Chlorine dioxide is a different chemical compound from chlorine. While they both contain the element chlorine, there is no chlorine in the form of Cl2 in chlorine dioxide. Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is a strong oxidizing agent used for water treatment and disinfection.
What is the difference between a chlorine atom and a chlorine molecule?
A chlorine atom is a single chlorine atom with the chemical symbol Cl. A chlorine molecule is composed of two chlorine atoms bonded together, forming Cl2. Chlorine atoms are highly reactive, while chlorine molecules are more stable.
You changed your baquacil to chlorine and it went greeny brown?
That means Chlorine was added before the Baquacil readings had reached zero.
How do you measure the chlorine in a baquacil pool?
To measure chlorine in a Baquacil pool, you can use a test kit specifically designed for non-chlorine pools. These kits typically test for the sanitizer levels in Baquacil pools, such as hydrogen peroxide and peroxide-based products. Follow the instructions on the test kit to accurately measure the sanitizer levels in your Baquacil pool.
Can I get step by step instructions to change from baquacil to chlorine?
Go to the site link bellow for a guide to converting from baquacil to chlorine. Keep in mind that if you have a sand filter you will have to also change the sand in it as it will harbor traces of baquacil.
Is bromine the same as baquacil?
No, bromine is not the same as baquacil. Bromine is a chlorine alternative, probably more expensive, effective as a sanitizer. Can result in odors as with chlorine and there are arguements about its safety, health wise. No, Baquacil is Hydrogen Peroxide.
Why does your pool turn green now that you switched from baquacil to chlorine?
The only reason the pool would turn green would be if the Baquacil is not entirely out of the pool and it reacts with the Chlorine.
Can you shock a pool that uses baquacil?
Yes, you can shock a pool that uses Baquacil, but it requires special attention. Standard chlorine shock treatments cannot be used, as they can react negatively with Baquacil, which is a non-chlorine sanitizer. Instead, you should use a non-chlorine shock specifically designed for Baquacil systems to effectively manage water clarity and sanitation without causing damage. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when shocking a Baquacil pool.
If you start using chlorine where once you had Bacquacil what does it do?
Chlorine is not compatible with baquacil. Nor is the saline (salt) system. For info on how to convert off baquacil e-mail me and I will reply with instructions.
Can you mix chlorine with baquacil?
No, you should not mix chlorine with Baquacil as they are not compatible chemicals. Mixing them together can cause a chemical reaction that may produce harmful or toxic fumes, and could also reduce the effectiveness of both products in maintaining water quality. It's best to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for each product separately.
Do you get less algae when using baquacil rather than chlorine?
i am no sure what it is
What do you need to do to close your pool if you plan to switch from Baquacil to chlorine when you open it next spring?
Just winterize it as usual. In the spring, drain the sucker and refill it. The conversion isn't worth the hassle.
How do you clear up the chemical reaction caused when mixing baquacil and chlorine shock?
To clear up a chemical reaction caused by mixing Baquacil and chlorine shock, immediately ventilate the area, evacuate if necessary, and avoid inhaling the fumes. Flush the affected area with water to dilute the chemicals, and seek medical attention if you experience irritation or symptoms of exposure. It's important to never mix Baquacil and chlorine shock as they can react and release harmful gases.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of baquicil?
I have been using Baquacil for 18 years in an in-ground pool. I used chlorine in an above ground pool prior. The cost difference is obvious. Starting off new, Baquacil is very expensive. As the years go on, the cost of the sanitizer drops dramatically because of the baquacil buildup in the water. You dont have the chlorine smell and the eye burning. I recommend washing the baquacil from your hair since the hair tends to get heavy after swimming. Foaming is also a problem with baquacil. I still prefer baquacil and intend to use it after I install a new liner next year.
