Basically, you just put a few 3" tabs of chlorine in the dispenser and set it in the pool. Sometimes they have adjustments on the bottom which regulate water flow. I usually leave them open for max flow at all times in order to get the maximum amount of chlorine into the water. Also, make certain that you attach it to the ladder or somewhere convenient because it can float and block the skimmers.
To lower pH, you can add pH decreaser (such as sodium bisulfate) following manufacturer's instructions. To raise chlorine levels, you can add liquid chlorine or chlorine tablets according to the pool size and current chlorine levels. Retest after a few hours and adjust as needed.
It's funny because I just came back from a seminar on safety compliance at a major manufacturer of these products and they did a complete section on sodium hypochlorite and another different on gas and liquid chlorine. They made sure we all understand that liquid chlorine and sodium hypochlorite are two completely different animals and they behave differently. However, for practical reasons many people in the pool and water treatment industry use the terms "sodium hypochlorite", "bleach", and "liquid chlorine" to refer to the same chemical, where bleach and sodium hypochlorite can be the came product but liquid chlorine is not. The main issue can arise when an accident occurs and people call emergency telling them that they had a spill of "liquid chlorine" when in fact it was "sodium hypochlorite", there is a considerable difference in the way both chemicals have to be controlled.
Most chlorine tablets come in a floating "pod" commonly known as a floater. Also many stores sell small floating baskets which have removable lids. Once you remove the lid(usually screw-off), you just put the tablet inside, close it and throw it into the pool. Depending on the climate of your region, and the chemical balance of your pool's water (Ph, alkalinity and so forth), these chlorine tablets need only be replaced about once every week or two. Warmer regions require weekly replacement of tablets, as the chlorine is absorbed quickly by the sun. Colder climates, and the winter season require the changing of chlorine to be done at larger intervals. Every two to three weeks should be sufficient. An alternative option is to just leave the chlorine tablet in the pool's weir ( that hole where you plug the pool cleaner in), though this cause them to deplete at a faster rate ans commonly result in over-chlorination of the water, and sometimes red and burning eyes depending on the strenght of the tablets being used.
Chlorine's mass number is 35.5. This is an average value due to the presence of two isotopes of chlorine, chlorine-35 and chlorine-37, in nature.
Free Chlorine is the Chlorine which is free to do its work in the pool, as opposed to Combined Chlorine which is chlorine that has combined with contaminants and is tied up and ineffective as a sanitizer in the pool. Sometimes you will see it abbreviated as FAC, which stands for Free Available Chlorine.
Sure you can use liquid chlorine and walk around the pool. You can use granular chlorine directly into the pool. If it doesn't disolve before it gets to the bottom you should brush it around so it won't stain. Never add pucks/tabs directly to the pool OR THE SKIMMER. (BAD FOR THE EQUIPMENT) They will sink to the bottom and stain.
No! the floater should never have to be placed under neath the cover. The reason is that the chlorine is not moving around the pool so it will be in one position and eventually eat through the cover. Always keep your cover off when adding chlorine and when chlorine tablets are in a floater.
No, it's not recommended to put chlorine tablets directly in the skimmer. The tablets can damage the equipment and decrease the efficiency of the filter. It's best to use a floating chlorine dispenser or a designated chlorinator.
To use chlorine tablets in a small pool effectively, place the tablets in a floating dispenser or skimmer basket. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the correct dosage based on the size of your pool. Monitor the chlorine levels regularly and adjust as needed to maintain proper sanitation.
It probably would make it worse. Chlorine is heavier than water, so when the dispenser releases chlorine, it would sit at the bottom, rather than drift down.
Depends on the keg dispenser. I recommend the Hoff-Stevens Keg Dispenser available at http://homebrewheaven.com/hoff-stevens-keg-dispenser-tap.htm
Chlorine can be added to a pool in a few different ways: directly into the skimmer, using a floating chlorine dispenser, or by applying it to the water surface. It's essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific type of chlorine being used to ensure proper dosage. Regular testing of chlorine levels is also crucial for maintaining a safe and clean swimming environment.
As long as you keep your pH and your chlorine at the proper level it should not matter what technique you use.
None unless you have a leak.
For an above ground pool such as a summer escapes pool by pool poly, fill the inside of your filter with tabs. Approx. 8-10 tabs. Replace basket and place back into pump. Turn on pump and let it run.
Chlorine tablets should be placed in a floating tablet dispenser and positioned in an area where the water flow will slowly dissolve the tablets (over a return jet). Never place in the skimmer box unless you want to fork out for a new pump every 2 years.
If you put TNT in a dispenser then activate the dispenser with a redstone current, the TNT will be dispensed already primed and will explode shortly afterwards. This is useful for making automatically reloading cannons and some traps.
