The following factors combined determine whether water is 'corrosive' (etching of plaster) or 'scale forming' (nodules, scale on walls). pH, Total Alkalinity, calcium hardness, TDS (totally dissolved solids) and water temperature. These items are a result of improper water balance. One could generalize and say that there is too much calcium in the pool/spa. However it is possible that the calcium level is ok and the pH or total alkalinity is out of balance with the same result. The water must be balanced and this requires monitoring and controlling the following items: pH, total alkalinity, calcium harness, total dissolved solids and temperature. Once we have all of these test kit reading then we can perform a calculation to see where the water is currently at and what adjustments are needed to get the water balance corrected.
To add calcium chloride to a vinyl pool, first determine the amount needed based on your pool size and current calcium levels. Dissolve the calcium chloride in a bucket of water before slowly pouring it around the perimeter of the pool while the pump is running to ensure proper distribution. Monitor the calcium levels regularly to avoid over-dosing.
I have to clean it
Chlorine kills bacteria their for it will clean and disinfect your pool or hot tube
You can, if the water presently in the pool is 'hard' - but be very careful to keep an eye on the Calcium Hardness of the pool water. If you filled a pool with water from the softener, the water would be hungry for calcium and drag it out of the pool walls, making them feel and look like sandpaper. Calcium hardness should be kept within 200-275ppm. best to use regular water for topup and keep the pool water properly balanced (see your local pool store).
You can use mild muriatic acid to remove clacium build up on tiles.
Stop using Calcium Chloride as your chlorination and start using tablets. Keep your pH level at 7.2 and brush the calcium deposits occasionally. There are calcium removers that you can buy at your pool supply store that will reduce the calcium in the water as well. Hatawa
The anwser to this QuestionWe would use a termometre to measure , the temperature of a swimming pool .A thermometer.
Yes, it is dangerous if mercury from a broken thermometer enters your pool. Mercury is a toxic substance that can be harmful if ingested or inhaled, and it can contaminate the water in your pool. It is important to contact a professional to safely clean and remove the mercury from the pool.
To raise calcium in your pool use calcium chloride. You premix it in a container to let it dissolve and add 6lb for 10pmm in a 50,000g pool.
High calcium can causeSkin and eye irritationCloudy waterClogged pool filtersPoor filtrationCalcium build-up and corrosion on heatersScaling of the pool waterReally the only way to reduce calcium hardness is to partially drain the pool, 1/3, then refill. It may cause staining but that would be the least of your worries if you had a heater.
how to clean spit in a pool
Shocking is not useful response for a broken pool thermometer. Most pool thermometers are electronic sensors or bimetallic strips, which won't put anything into the pool if they break, or are based on colored alcohol, for which shocking will not do anything. If your broken thermometer used mercury (unlikely) it will settle to the bottom and into the drain traps. You need to get the mercury out of the drains.
Use a thermometer.
Had the same problem. Turned out that i needed the electrodes replaced, since doing that, its working fine, now i have a problem with 2much sand in the filter (No idea how much sand is needed)
you can't its permanent
Rephrase the question. What type of shock have you used? Is it a calcium based shock treatment? Supply more info.
