no
go to the local market that you get chlorine at and pool shock. buy test strips that test the water's chlorine, and just add an extra chlorine tablet each time you add chlorine. if its still really low and not even close to the amount you may want to add pool shock
Yes, liquid chlorine can help break chlorine lock in a pool by introducing unstabilized chlorine that can reactivate the chlorine in the pool water. It is important to follow proper dosing instructions and allow time for the chlorine to circulate properly. If the problem persists, other methods such as draining and refilling the pool may be necessary.
As long as you keep your pH and your chlorine at the proper level it should not matter what technique you use.
To add chlorine to your pool, first test the water to determine the current chlorine levels. Use chlorine tablets or liquid chlorine based on the pool's needs. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for dosage and application method, typically dispersing the chlorine around the perimeter of the pool to ensure even distribution.
Add more
You have to add more chlorine.
It is necessary because the chlorine kills all of the germs that enter the swimming pool.
for safety reasons you should only add chlorine when no one is going to use the pool for at least 12 hours
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.
you pour the liquid chlorine in the pool and wait for a certain time for all the chemicals to settle before you get in.
Yes you still need to control the PH of your water weather it is a salt water pool or chlorine tablet pool. with salt water pools the chlorine produced by the chlorine generator is more dependant on a lower pH, around 7.2 to 7.6 if pH goes to high the chlorine gets locked up and cant work. you can find more detailed information on our web site at www.cristal-clear-pools.com. hope this helps you.
I assume by 'floaters' you mean chlorine tablet floaters, and not the floaters the kids produce. either way, I agree they are worrisome. A Saline (salt water0 system will solve your problem. Without doubt the safest and best way to purify pools with kids in. The sanitizer (or chlorine) is produced near the filter from the pure natural 'salt' dissolved in the pool water. The pool water will be perfectly healthy without you having to add chlorine floater or any other form of chlorine to the pool. No algaecides or 'shock' chemicals either.
