For a 3,000-gallon pool, you typically use about 1 quart (32 ounces) of algicide, but this can vary based on the specific product and its concentration. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for precise dosing, as different algicides may have different recommended amounts. Additionally, consider the pool's current water conditions and any previous treatments when determining the right dosage. Regular maintenance and monitoring of water quality will help optimize the effectiveness of the algicide.
ppm = lbs Chlorine / lbs of water given: 1 ppm = 1 x 10e-6 1 gallon of water = 8.33 lbs 1 lb = 454 grams Therefore; 4x10e-6 = lbs Chlorine/(3000 x 8.33) lbs Chlorine = 4x10e-6 x 3000 x 8.33 lbs Chlorine = 0.09996 or 0.09996 lb x 454grams/lb = 45.38 grams 4ppm of Chlorine in a 3000 gallon pool is: 0.09996 lbs which is about 45.38 grams
not much since the water doesn't usually release very much heat
Algaecide is used to kill and or prevent algae. Pool & Spa.
Approximately 200 lbs.
about 3 oz.
Too much algicide. The only thing to do is dilute it with water.
how much chlorine do I put for a 1,718 gallon pool
Let's say about 30 gallons.
That going to depend on -- how much of the pool's 15,000 gallon capacity is occupied by water -- the starting temperature of the pool and its contents if any -- the desired ending temperature of the pool and its contents if any -- how much ice is in a block None of these details is given in the question, so we can't begin to work toward an answer.
about 1 gallon at a dose rate of 5 parts per million, dah
My pool is 30" by 12' (circle) and it has 2100 gallons of water. My guess is that the 36" high pool would have close to 3000 gallons.
I have a 28,000 gallon pool and my pump is 1hp. Works fine.
