How does the pool temperature affect the chemicals in the pool?

The temperature of the pool can affect the rate of chemical reactions and the solubility of chemicals in the water. Warmer temperatures can increase the speed of chemical reactions, leading to faster chlorine degradation. It can also cause some chemicals to break down more quickly, requiring more frequent testing and adjustments. Conversely, colder temperatures may slow down chemical reactions, affecting the overall balance of the pool water.

You put muriatic acid in your pool to lower the alkilinity however when you put the acid in the water it began to smoke what would cause this?

The answer is The reason it would smoke is that there is a reaction going on, which means that your water is Basic. maybe there is a lot of lime in your water. Nothing to worry about just put in enough acid and chlorine until the pool is at the right pH and chlorine level

What is both a swimming style and an insect?

Butterfly is both a swimming style in competitive swimming and an insect. It is named butterfly due to the resemblance of the stroke to the movement of a butterfly's wings.

What happens to a swimming pool heater if a bond wire isn't attach?

If a bond wire is not attached to a swimming pool heater, it can result in electrical shock hazards and potential damage to the equipment. The bond wire is crucial for grounding and ensuring proper electrical safety in and around the pool area. It is important to always follow the manufacturer's instructions and local building codes when installing or servicing pool heaters.

Would Mercury float or sink?

In water mercury would sink very quickly as it is very heavy. Keep in mind that part of mercury dissolves in water and is extremely poisonous.

What is moving water?

well we all know that we cant live without water. but sometimes we thougt that water is our freind but sometimes not. water cant be our enemy nor our freind. it has different water movements, tides,waves, and tsunami.

How long will it take a standard hose to fill 896 cubic feet with water?

The time it takes to fill a volume with water using a standard hose depends on the flow rate of the hose. Without knowing this flow rate, it is not possible to provide an accurate estimate of the time needed to fill 896 cubic feet.

What Rate of evaporation hypothesis?

if the rate of evaporation is more than the water comes out from the vessel and it can also spread every were in our house as well. so we should be careful about the evaporation of any thing

Optical fibers can carry light long distances because?

Optical fibers can carry light long distances because of total internal reflection, which ensures that light stays within the fiber by continuously reflecting off the inner walls. This allows for minimal loss of signal strength over long distances, making optical fibers an efficient method for transmitting light.

A thimbleful of water at 100c has a highrer temperature than a swimming pool full of water at 20c but the pool has more thermal energy than the timble explain?

To raise the temperature of water in a thimble of water from 0 to 100 requires a small amount of thermal energy. To do the same with a swimming pool would require putting a huge amount of thermal energy into the water comparatively speaking.

How do you make salt water for snails?

To make salt water for snails, mix non-iodized salt with dechlorinated water at a ratio of approximately 1 tablespoon of salt per gallon of water. Ensure the salt is fully dissolved in the water before adding it to the snail's habitat. Remember to monitor the salinity level regularly to maintain a suitable environment for your snails.

What can neutralize chlorine in a swimming pool?

Sodium thiosulfate. You can purchase at pool stores. If for the purpose of draining the pool water to the streets or sewer system you need to neutralize the chlorine or just let it drop on it's own to those levels needed. If on the other hand you have in access of 10.0 ppm chlorine then wait a few days for those levels to drop at their own rate. Otherwise, the water is safe even at 10.0 ppm. to swim in.

How many meters are in a meter stick?

obviously there is 1 metre in a metre stick
you are jokeing right a meter sitck one meter

What substances are put into Swimming Pool Water?

Common substances added to swimming pool water include chlorine for disinfection, pH adjusters like sodium bicarbonate or muriatic acid, algaecides to prevent algae growth, and shock treatments to remove contaminants. Other chemicals may be used to balance water hardness, stabilize chlorine, and maintain clarity.

How do you accurately test swimming pool chemistry Results from the same sample tested 1 at the pool dealer 2 with standard dipsticks and 3 with kits of solutions are inconsistent?

The dip sticks are notoriously inacurate, close enough for a quick check at home but not great. I'd trust the pool dealer results the most, everyone will get a little different results but it's not the end of the world. The dealers usually have good equipment and do a good job of keeping the calibrated, far more acurate then any home test kit.

What is the difference between chlorine and moronic acid in pools?

Moronic Acid is an anti-retroviral agent used to treat HIV. Chlorine (especially free chlorine) is an effective disinfectant used to kill (especially) bacteria in water, like swimming pools and drinking water systems.

I wonder if the questioner meant muriatic (hydrochloric) acid, which is sometimes used to lower the pH of pool water.

If muriatic acid is safe to pH the water in swimming pools can water that is just pH'ed with the acid be used on house plants?

If the water you are intending to use has been brought to Ph of 7.2 as is normally done in swimming pools then there is no problem at all using it to water plants.

No. Do not use this acid mixed with anything to water your houseplants. Muriatic acid is extremely dangerous and is a matter between life or death

Please check out the weblink at the lower left and you will see why. You can also ask an employee of a pool supply company if this is a dangerous practice or not.

What kind of mixture is table salt?

It is not a mixture; it is a compound. It is what's called an ionic compound, because the sodium atoms lose their 1 valence electron and the chlorine atoms pick up that electron to fill their outer energy level, giving them 8 valence electrons instead of 7 (7 is their normal number of valence electrons.)

The sodium atoms now have one less electron than protons, so they form a +1 ion and the chlorine atoms have one more electron than proton, so they form -1 ions. Since the ions have opposite charges, they are attracted to each other and form NaCl, or sodium chloride (table salt).

Can salt water swimming cause vaginal irritation?

Yes, swimming in salt water can lead to vaginal irritation for some individuals. The salt content in the water can disrupt the natural balance of bacteria and pH levels in the vagina, which may cause irritation or infection. It is important to rinse off thoroughly after swimming and consider using a barrier method, such as a swimsuit bottom, to protect the vaginal area.

Will algae harm my skin?

Algae in cosmetics is generally safe for skin and can offer various benefits, such as hydration and antioxidant protection. However, some individuals may be sensitive or allergic to certain types of algae, so it's always recommended to do a patch test first before using algae-based skincare products.

Can you put chemicals in the pool while the vacuum is in?

It is generally safe to add pool chemicals while the vacuum is operating as long as you follow the manufacturer's instructions for both the pool chemicals and the vacuum. However, it may be more effective to add chemicals when the vacuum is not running to allow the chemicals to distribute evenly throughout the water before the vacuum starts circulating.

Can ketchup remove green from your hair?

Usually it can, but sometimes hair needs a little more. I used to use apple cider vinegar when I had a pool. All I did was take a pitcher of warm water and about half a cup of the vinegar, or more, mix it, and rinse my hair with it after shampooing. Vinegar has a certain acid that smoothes the hair folicle as well, so not only should it remove the green, your hair should feel nice as well.

Why do you float back to the top when you dive under water in your swimming pool?

When you dive underwater in a swimming pool, your body displaces water, creating buoyancy that pushes you back towards the surface. This buoyant force is greater than your weight underwater, causing you to float towards the top when you stop exerting downward force. Additionally, the air in your lungs can also contribute to your buoyancy and push you upward.

You see tiny white balls of foam in your pool from time to time What is this from?

Have never experienced "white balls of foam" in pool. It could be that your filter is dirty and needs cleaning. Or that you have added a certain type of algacide to the pool. Does the foam seem to appear if the water is agitated? Is the foam a dirty brownish color? What are your chemistry levels - chlorine, pH, alkalinity, conditioner? How old is the water in the pool? What is the bather load - how many people at a time?
