No, You have to have a salt/Chlorine generator or you'll just be swimming in a slime salt water body of water.
No, it's not recommended to put chlorine tablets directly in the skimmer. The tablets can damage the equipment and decrease the efficiency of the filter. It's best to use a floating chlorine dispenser or a designated chlorinator.
Most chlorine tablets come in a floating "pod" commonly known as a floater. Also many stores sell small floating baskets which have removable lids. Once you remove the lid(usually screw-off), you just put the tablet inside, close it and throw it into the pool. Depending on the climate of your region, and the chemical balance of your pool's water (Ph, alkalinity and so forth), these chlorine tablets need only be replaced about once every week or two. Warmer regions require weekly replacement of tablets, as the chlorine is absorbed quickly by the sun. Colder climates, and the winter season require the changing of chlorine to be done at larger intervals. Every two to three weeks should be sufficient. An alternative option is to just leave the chlorine tablet in the pool's weir ( that hole where you plug the pool cleaner in), though this cause them to deplete at a faster rate ans commonly result in over-chlorination of the water, and sometimes red and burning eyes depending on the strenght of the tablets being used.
It looks just like a regular methane but with a chlorine atom in one of the positions. The outer shell of the chlorine is filled in because it is large.
They just get weaker. Be careful to put them in a dry place with no a lot of humidity or they will give off a chlorine odor. Some tablets have the conditioner in them. If there is the conditioner can get stronger while the chlorine gets weaker thus giving your pool a cloudy look.
DO NOT PERFORM THIS ACT!!! Chlorine tablets, or just chlorine in general, is HIGHLY TOXIC in high amounts!! You will get chlorine poisoning, your tongue may fall off, and you could possibly die if enough chlorine is introduced into your system.
Yes, just put a tiny amount of salt in if you use regular.
It,s easy. Just Shock your pool with a chlorine shock and then make sure the chlorine level is where you need it to be. It, more involved if you go from Chlorine to Bacqucil. but why would you want to Bacqucil is so much nicer and easier.
Chlorine gas itself does not emit a colored flame when subjected to a flame test. Instead, it will impart a green color to the flame when a sample containing chlorine (such as a chloride compound) is included in the flame test.
Depends on what compounds you are using.... it could be sodium chloride, potassium chloride, or any number of compunds, but all will produce by-products which could be harmful... also, when the chlorine reacts with carbons and organics in the water it produces dichloramines, tri-chloramines, hydrochlorous acid ( which kills bacteria), ammonia's and so forth...... it just depends on how far you want to go
yes you can, it just won't taste as good.
I have a fresh water pool that I am thinking of converting to a Salt Water system. My neighbors tell me that they have little or no maintenance with their Salt system. The question I have is if I convert to a salt system why do I have to spend $1,000 on a Chlorine Generator.? If I add the salt, to change the softness and control the Algae then instead of purchasing a Chlorine Generator and paying the electricity costs why don't I just use my present automatic chlorinator with Chlorine Tablets? After a process called electrolysis is using the box of electronics breaks down the salt in the salt water In a salt system the electronic box is connected to the electrodes in the "Cell". So my point is that instead of generating chlorine from salt why don't I just add it like I don now with my fresh water system..
Someone/something changed the original question and that is probably why it has not been answered.Safe levels for chlorine are 1.5 ppm to about 5.0 ppm. of free chlorine. You should have a test kit that will give you free chlorine readings as opposed to just a chlorine residual. Free chlorine is what sanitizes the pool water. If you can smell a chlorine odor coming from your pool then you do not have enough chlorine in the water.K
