That means Chlorine was added before the Baquacil readings had reached zero.
Everythging works better when the balance is correct, but you do not need to correct the pH before adding chlorine. Just keep an eye on it.
The sun and the chlorine are the worst things for a liner but there is not much you can do about that try dissolving the chlorine in a bucket of water before adding to pool it does help some but as i said there is not much to stop it.
Answer You would be better off waiting a day or two.
To switch from chlorine to Baquacil, start by discontinuing the use of chlorine products and wait for chlorine levels to drop to zero. Test the water for chlorine and pH levels before adding Baquacil according to manufacturer's instructions. It may also be necessary to clean or replace the filter system to prevent any residual chlorine from affecting the Baquacil effectiveness.
It is generally safe to swim in a pool after adding liquid chlorine once the chlorine levels have dropped to recommended levels for swimming, which typically takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour. It is important to test the chlorine levels before entering the pool to ensure it is safe for swimming.
The chemical that usually goes in a pool is chlorine. This is the first chemical as well as the last chemical to enter the water.
You should wait at least 30 minutes after adding chlorine and salt before swimming. This will give the chemicals enough time to mix thoroughly in the water and ensure that the levels are safe for swimming. It is important to test the water regularly to maintain proper chemical balance.
I'm not sure what you mean. If your qeustion is how long do you have to wait to swim after adding chlorine, it really depends. If you're adding chlorine to bring the level up to 2.0 or 3.0ppm, then wait minimum 1 hour before swimming, and be sure the filter is on. If you're shocking the pool and bringing the level up to 10-12ppm, you need to wait until the pool reaches a safe level as stated above.
How much chlor added? Add at least a gallon of chlor. less if vinyl pool. Test in 20 min. and adjust as needed. Ph and alk = fine. Hmm, what are your readings? How old are test strips? Have they been left in the sun or outside? = no good then get new ones. k
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.
The warmer the water the quicker the Chlorine evaporates off. Adding an air bubbler to disturb the water surface will also speed it up. I normally stand water overnight before using it to replace water in occupied tanks.
