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.
Have you actually added liquid chlorine to the pool?
A Salt water pool is a chlorine pool. The difference is that in the case of a saltwater pool there is a chlorinater fited inline that converts the salt into chlorine automaticaly, Meaning that you don't have to purchace any chlorine to keep up chlorine levels.
You do not measure the Chlorine in a Baquacil pool because they are incompatible.
normally when there is no reading for chlorine means that you need it, put 1 gallon of liquid shock in your pool. that will raise the chlorine level, cheryl
Add chlorine and stabilizer.
Any one or thing swimming in the pool will reduce the amount of free chlorine available in the swimming pool. Dog hair body fats and other impurity's will take up free chlorine in the pool thereby reducing the amount of effective chlorine available. Dogs bring into the pool more contaminants than do humans for AA lot of various reasons.
My brother has a salt water pool which is a chlorine treated pool and his dog seems to prefer drinking out of the pool been doing it for years and is perfectly healthy.
So long as the chlorine levels in the pool are OK there should be nothing to worry about.
it takes a matter of time because it depends on if alot of people are in the pool or not
No it can not, because chlorine is not killable.
NO! There are often stabilizers in pool chlorine tablets that make the tablets last longer - use a bottle of bleach (sodium hypochlorite) instead.
yes
I have treated for metals and algae and now have a problem getting the chlorine levels up. The ph, hardner and alkilinity is ok.
A1 Yes as long as it doesn't have any infections, such as fleas, etc. But it should be fine ---- A2 I agree with A1. The dog shouldn't have any infections, diseases, fleas, just as mentioned above. If it does, then the infections or fleas can be spread in the pool, which people will swim in, causing them to be ill. If the dog's fine, people can swim with it, too. If the dog is ill or has fleas, it should at least swim in the pool by itself, for human safety. Speaking of human safety, you should also refill the pool after the dog is done with it, just in case.
