for safety reasons you should only add chlorine when no one is going to use the pool for at least 12 hours
I do. Use half as much. Pool chlorine is 12.5% sodium hypochlorite Laundry bleach that I use is 6% sodium hypochlorite. Sometimes I dilute the pool chlorine by one part water to one part pool chlorine and use it just like regular laundry bleach.
Most localities would classify a Condo Pool as "Semi-Public", so a Salt System would most likely be approved. Your local Health Act or Bylaws would say for sure. In Alberta, Canada a "Public" or "Semi-Public" Pool MUST use "Chlorine" as the Primary Source of Disinfection. Salt Systems use dissolved SALT ( or Sodium Chloride), so they would be classified as a safer form of Chlorine disinfection, since there are no Chlorine Bottles to leak. If you want a backup Germ Killer, you could add UV Bulbs, Ozone or Bromine to your Pool, as long as the Chlorine system (Salt) was still the Primary source of disinfection.
Adding chlorine and algae-side during the winter will make it a lot easier to get the pool water ready in the summer. It is also safer to have clear water in the pool at all times in case of unforeseen emergency's.
Pool shock typically contains a higher concentration of chlorine compared to regular pool chlorine products. Pool shock is used to quickly raise the chlorine levels in the water to kill bacteria and algae, while regular pool chlorine is used for maintenance and to keep the chlorine levels stable over time.
If your talking about Swimming pool its because your pool has chlorine in it and chlorine kills fish :(
There could be several reasons why a pool may have no chlorine. This could be due to insufficient chlorine added to the pool, the chlorine being depleted too quickly, or the pool's filtration system not functioning properly. It's important to regularly test and maintain the chlorine levels in a pool to ensure proper sanitation.
can one have food and beverages at the condo pool
No A salt water pool is in fact also chlorine pool, the difference being that with a salt water pool a salt water chlorinator converts the salt that is in the water into chlorine gas which is then dissolved into the water while the filter is running. the conversion wont have any adverse effects on the pool.
Free Chlorine is the Chlorine which is free to do its work in the pool, as opposed to Combined Chlorine which is chlorine that has combined with contaminants and is tied up and ineffective as a sanitizer in the pool. Sometimes you will see it abbreviated as FAC, which stands for Free Available Chlorine.
Bleach is unstabilized chlorine. It is just a weaker form of the chlorine you buy at the pool store.
Other names for chlorine include Cl2, diatomic chlorine, and "pool shock" when used in pool disinfection.
opening a pool is different then closing a pool because opening the pool is when the pool is all filled up with water an fixed an has chlorine in it and closing the pool is if u don't have no chlorine in it and it is not fixed or don't have no water in it
