It would be fine to add chlorine, but do it in each corner of the pool. You will not do any harm to the system. Make sure your pool water is balanced. This requires a good proper kit like they use at the pool shops, or have it tested at a computerized pool teting centre. The old large kit that tests for acid levels around 4"x6" is the size of the blue plastic box and roughly 80-100 dollars.
a little more salt than not enough is always better.

Yes as a mater of fact that is what salt water pool normally is. With a salt water pool there is a electronic salt water chlorinator installed that uses the salt in the water to create chlorine. However if you don't have a salt water chlorinator and prefer the feeling of a salt water pool then there is no reason not to add salt to the pool as well as keeping up the chlorine yourself.
Other names for chlorine include Cl2, diatomic chlorine, and "pool shock" when used in pool disinfection.
Yes, you can add salt to a chlorine pool to create a saltwater pool system. This salt is converted into chlorine through the process of electrolysis, providing a more natural and softer water experience compared to traditional chlorine pools. Be sure to follow manufacturer instructions for the appropriate salt levels and use a saltwater generator to convert the salt into chlorine.
Bromine is an additive that you put in a pool to sanitize the water. Chlorine is an additive that you put in a pool to sanitize the water. Salt is added to some pools to allow it to be converted electronically to chlorine with a salt water chlorinator.
To unlock chlorine in a pool, you can use a chlorine-based shock treatment. This will help release free chlorine into the water by breaking down organic contaminants. Follow the instructions on the shock treatment product for proper dosage and application.
Salt pools still require weekly shock maintenance, but not near the amount that a chlorine pool would need. There are Salt Pool Shock Treatments out there for your particular pool setup.
Stop adding salt to the pool and use tablets and shock when needed.
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.
Salt generators make the same chemical, sodium hypochlorite, that you buy at the store. The major difference is that it costs a lot more to make than to buy it. See other posts I have made in this arena for more info.A salt water pool IS a chlorine pool. Period! IF it needs shocking you shock it the same way as any chlorine pool, by adding more chlorine either by manually adding it or setting the SWCG to the boost or shock setting.
Yes, pool shock typically contains chlorine as the active ingredient to sanitize and disinfect the pool water.
No, pool shock is normally a really strong chlorine and stabilizer is like sunscreen for the chlorine
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
No, chlorine and shock are not the same. Chlorine is a chemical used to sanitize and disinfect pool water, while shock is a stronger dose of chlorine used to quickly kill bacteria and algae in the pool.
the same as before. whoever told you that you didnt have to shock and use algaecide lied. the same as before. whoever told you that you didnt have to shock and use algaecide lied.
To effectively use chlorine shock for your swimming pool, follow these steps: Test the water to determine the chlorine level. Add the appropriate amount of chlorine shock based on the pool size and current chlorine level. Distribute the shock evenly around the pool. Allow the chlorine shock to circulate for several hours before swimming. Regularly test and adjust the chlorine levels to maintain cleanliness and hygiene.
That usually have a adjustment to turn them down, otherwise you will have to run it for less time. This can be done with a second timer. Be careful that the filter is always in operation when the chlorinater is in operation.
