Are ducks affected by chlorine in a swimming pool?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, but if they swim in your pool a lot, the duck poop is going to make the water murky.

Ducks and swimming pools are not a good combination. Pool sanitisers such as chlorine have no ill affect on the bird. Ducks like the pool environment as it is often a safe haven with clear water and unobtrusive surrounds.

The duck droppings do have a negative effect on the pool water balance and will eventually clog the filter with the creamy white paste.

A salt water pool has a chlorine generator on it that turns sodium chloride into chlorine gas. The water in the pool is not like the ocean, you can't taste the salt and it doesn't sting your eyes. The water isn't as harsh on clothing, eyes, skin and hair as chlorine is.

How do you clean flooded swimming pool?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Personally I would get most of the real compact solids out by hand and a

bucket and then vacuum the pool to waste if you have a sand filter or DE

filter with a multiport valve. If you are using a cartridge filter you will

need to make a waste port using a PVC Tee and (2) ball valves.

What are the best swimming pool covers?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No above ground pool cover is safe for little ones as adults can be in a rush and forget to "buckle down the hatches." Usually the covers that fit over the sides and are clipped down are the best. However, a fence around the above pool is even better. Marcy

A swimming pool safety cover is latched down over the pool. Have atleast 3 barriers where anyone needs to get through to get to the pool.

How much would a swimming pool cost?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A quick search turned up this blog:

One of the most difficult aspects of planning for an inground pool is estimating the total cost. There are several variables that affect the overall cost of building and maintaining an inground pool, including the size of the pool and the material will comprise it. In the Chicagoland area a small, basic inground pool will cost between $20,000 and $50,000. Some of the larger, deeper and more high-end inground pools can cost as much as $100,000.

Swimming pool skimmers?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A device that pulls in the surface water of a pool. It uses the surface tension of the water to pull in the leaves, buds, etc. that get blown into or fall into the pool in through a small basket before it goes to the pump. There are several methods of skimming swimming pools

(1) The most widely used is the static skimmer this is installed int most private (backyard) pools. These depend on maintaining the water lever of the pool to operate properly and have a limited effect using the surface tension of the water to attract floating debris. (2) A more effective pool skimmer is the floating swimming pools skimmer, this type of skimmer connects into the vacuum plate over the leaf basket in the static skimmer unit via a hose like one connects a pool vacuum. The advantage with this type of skimmer is that it always skims at optimum performance because it moves up and down with the water It has a very fine fast moving skim that has a far wider ranging effect on the surface tension of the water as well as being able to be place in a strategic position in the pool. (3) wet wall or overflow This method is the best way to skim a pool, the pool is built in such a way that it overflows acros one or more walls into a collection point or balance tank from where it is cleaned and pumped back into the pool most public pools work along these lines. It is more costly to set up which is why it is not seen in private pools very often.

How do you scare ducks away from a swimming pool?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer

We have used a product called Kings Duck Solution that is applied to the area around the pool that the duck likes to frequent. It is all-natural and non toxic and ducks simply hate the stuff and leave...... and they have not returned. Easy. There is a web page ducksolution.com.au

Trapping is apparently the only sure fire method. Or a gun, I suppose, but that's mean. i don't think u should use a gun i think use a trap to remove them call animal control to relocate them hope this helps.
