What else can I help you with?
Should you be using stabilized Chlorine in your pool everyday or is the Granular better?
Use stabilized chlorine only so long as stabilizer level (cyanuric acid level) in pool is within the recommended range of 50-80ppm.
Why does the chlorine stabaliser not dissolve?
Chlorine stabilizer, also known as cyanuric acid, is slow to dissolve in water because it is a large molecule that requires time to break down and disperse. It should be pre-dissolved in a bucket of water before adding it to the pool to help it dissolve more easily and prevent clumping.
What kind of stabilizer or cyanuric acid should be used?
For pool maintenance, use a stabilizer with cyanuric acid that is specifically labeled for swimming pools, typically in granular or liquid form. The recommended concentration is usually between 30 to 50 ppm (parts per million) to effectively protect chlorine from sunlight degradation. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for dosage and application to ensure optimal results. Regular testing of levels is also important to maintain proper water chemistry.
How do you keep chlorine in pool?
Chlorine is effected by sun, air, temp and bather load. You should check first to see that your stabalizer (cyanuric acid) level is ok, 30-50 ppm. That will help chlorine stay in water.
How should you do chlorine to add in your pool?
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.
Where do you deposit the chlorine tablets in a septic system?
DON'T!!! Septic systems require bacteria and enzymes to break down the waste. Chlorine tablets will kill the bacteria and destroy the enzymes. That's true for a traditional septic system. But some systems are really on-site waste treatment plants. After the septic tank the liquid flows through a sand filter which is populated by aerobic bacteria. After passing through the sand filter, the liquid is chlorinated and then discharged. In this type of system you do need chlorine tablets. And they have to be the right kind of tablets. DON'T use tablets designed for swimming pools! In my system there is a small black box next to the driveway. Inside that box are two white plastic tubes. That's where the chlorine tablets go. Your system may be different.
Can you get a chemical burn by playing with chlorine tablets?
Yes, handling chlorine tablets directly can lead to chemical burns on your skin due to their corrosive properties. It is important to always follow safety guidelines when working with chlorine products to prevent irritation or injury. Make sure to wear protective equipment such as gloves and goggles, and properly store and handle the tablets.
What is cyan uric acid in pool water?
The constant use of small 1" , large 3" jumbo chlorine tabs and granular chlorine. they all have cyanurics acid in the compound mix. Best to switch to liquid for a while ( a month of so). The high levels of cyanurics will eventually drop as water evaporates and you add fill water. High levels of cyanuric acid or conditioner would be considered to be in excess of 100 ppm. You could also do a partial drain of the pool and refill to reduce the CYA faster. In the future you might consider alternating between liquid 12% chlorine and tabs. Note: 1" tabs dissolve faster. HTH granular and tabs I believe do not contain conditioner but then it is a lesser grade of chlorine - see percentage values on label.
What effects a pool to loose its status of chlorine?
Chlorine is taken up by biomaterials for one. that is the more dirt there is in the pool even stuff you cant see the more chlorine seems to disapear. the sun and the activitys of swimmers also have a big effect on chlorine consumotion. to hold onto the chlorine longer, Conditioner or Cyanuric Acid Levels should be kept up to about 80ppm, Low conditioner levels will lead to a lot of the chlorine in the water being burned of without it being utilized.
How can you fix low chlorine?
To fix low chlorine levels in a pool, you can add chlorine shock or chlorine tablets according to the manufacturer's instructions. You can also run the pool pump longer to help circulate the chlorine throughout the water. Additionally, you should regularly test the chlorine levels and adjust as needed to maintain proper water sanitation.
How many three inch tablets of chlorine does it take to kill a tree?
It is not recommended to use chlorine tablets to kill a tree as it can harm the environment and surrounding vegetation. Proper tree removal should be carried out by a professional arborist or tree service to ensure it is done safely and effectively.
What size chlorine tablet should you use for a 28000 gallon pool?
Depends on what the chlorine demand is for your pool. 1 inch tablets are not compressed as hard as 3 inch tabs and skimmer sticks. If your pool requires more chlorine you may want to use 1 inch tablets. If it has a low chlorine demand skimmer sticks may be all your need. Skimmer sticks are the hardest compressed and slower dissolving.
