What else can I help you with?
Can you had chlorinating tabs the same day you shock pool?
Yes, you can add chlorine tablets on the same day you shock your pool, but it's advisable to wait a few hours after shocking to allow the high chlorine levels from the shock treatment to dissipate. Shocking raises chlorine levels significantly, and adding tablets immediately might not allow for optimal distribution and effectiveness. Always check the pool's chlorine levels before adding more chemicals to ensure safety and proper balance.
Can you put alagecide in pool the same day you shocked the pool?
It's generally not recommended to add algaecide to a pool on the same day that you shock it. Shocking the pool raises the chlorine levels significantly, which can reduce the effectiveness of the algaecide. It's best to wait at least 24 hours after shocking to allow the chlorine levels to drop before adding algaecide for optimal results. Always check the product labels for specific instructions.
Would you shock a salt water pool or use algaeize or more salt?
Salt generators make the same chemical, sodium hypochlorite, that you buy at the store. The major difference is that it costs a lot more to make than to buy it. See other posts I have made in this arena for more info.A salt water pool IS a chlorine pool. Period! IF it needs shocking you shock it the same way as any chlorine pool, by adding more chlorine either by manually adding it or setting the SWCG to the boost or shock setting.
When do you add clearifier after shocking pool?
Yes you can add shock solution to your swimming pool after or at the same time as a clarifyer. You should not swim in your pool for at 4 hours after shocking it.
Is pool shock the same as chlorine?
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.
Is chlorine the same as shock?
No, chlorine and shock are not the same. Chlorine is a chemical used to sanitize and disinfect pool water, while shock is a stronger dose of chlorine used to quickly kill bacteria and algae in the pool.
Is pool stabilizer and shock the same?
No, pool shock is normally a really strong chlorine and stabilizer is like sunscreen for the chlorine
Can algaecide interact with chlorine thereby reducing the level of free chlorine in a swimming pool?
Yes, certain algaecides can interact with chlorine and decrease its effectiveness in maintaining free chlorine levels in a swimming pool. It's important to carefully follow the instructions for both chemicals and avoid adding them at the same time to prevent unwanted reactions.
Is a saltwater pool better than a cholinated pool?
They are one and the same. THEY BOTH ARE CHLORINE POOLS!!!
Are the pumps for chlorine and salt pools the same?
A "salt" pool is still mostly just chlorine. And yes the pumps are the same for both.
How do you get the free chlorine level down in your saltwater pool?
To give you an accurate answer, it's important to know how many gallons are in the pool, how high is your Free Available Chlorine (FAC), and what is your Combined Chlorine Reading. Is pool enclosed and protected from sun etc? Is your chlorine generator working properly? You could simply shut down the generator and test your pool everyday at the same time. Keep records of pH, Free Chlorine, Combined Chlorine, Alkalinity, etc. It's important that you maintain a proper pH at ALL TIMES.
How do you superchlorinate a saltwater pool?
Most salt boxes will have a button or knob to add more chlorine which is how you may superchlorinate a salt pool. Otherwise there is no problem adding granular chlorine to a salt pool for it is the same sanitizer just added in a different manner.
