Chlorine, preferably liquid chlorine, because it acts the fastest. Test it using an OTO tester. IF your chlorine level is at least 1 PPM and your pH is less than 7.2, and your filter is working properly, the water should clear up in a day or two. Hatawa

What is the chemical you put in a pool to detect urine called?

I have researched this for years, there is no such thing, it is just something people tell kids so they don't pee in the pool!! ANSWER Apparently this is an urban legend (see link to Snopes below). There is a chemical called phenolphthalein that will change colors based on the pH level but it would actually have to go from red to clear so it would not create the "red cloud" around someone. I do not think anyone would use this chemical because it is also a laxative which would create a whole other problem.


What is bromine in a pool?

How do you measure chemicals for a 2600 gallon pool when the chemicals are measured for 10000 gallon pools or larger?

You must work out the fraction (size of your pool)/(size of pool on the chemical container) if it is given. If your pool is 2,600 galls and the amount of chemical is given for a 10,000 gall pool, you need 2600/10000 of the amount, ie 26/100, so for every 100 grams recommended, put in 26.
