Take a sample to your local pool shop for all your readings of Free chlorine, Total chlorine, PH, Calcium, Alkalinity and Cyanuric Acids. Once you have a proper reading you will need to re-callobrate your chlorinater.
Dial out put to maximum if after a normal cycle there is no increase in Cl it probably isn't working.
some where in the area of 19,000 gal. I figured the average depth to be 5-3/4 feet. Not knowing how much of the 32' is the deep end ! I guesed at 50%, and deducted 600gal for the slope, I asume the bottom does not drop from 3 feet to 8.5, But slopes in some manner? At any rate some where around 19,000 gal is close enouht for shock treatments and ect.
There is no such unit of measurement as a width. If you wish to know how wide a swimming pool is, ask someone who is in charge of your local swimming pool and they might know.
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.
No, pool shock is normally a really strong chlorine and stabilizer is like sunscreen for the chlorine
If you have too much combined chlorine in your pool, it can lead to eye and skin irritation, as well as create an unpleasant smell. To reduce combined chlorine levels, you can shock your pool with a chlorine shock treatment, which will break down the combined chlorine compounds and free up the chlorine to sanitize the water effectively. Regularly maintaining proper chlorine levels and practicing good pool hygiene can help prevent the buildup of combined chlorine.
try it out and tell me
Three to four times the normal rate
Other names for chlorine include Cl2, diatomic chlorine, and "pool shock" when used in pool disinfection.
If there is too much chlorine in your pool, you can first test the water to confirm the high levels. To reduce the chlorine level, you can aerate the water by running the pool pump and opening the pool cover to let sunlight break down the chlorine. You can also partially drain the pool and refill it with fresh water to dilute the chlorine concentration.
To shock a pool is to effectively increase the chlorine dosage to the max in order to exterminate a bacterial or algae problem.
The amount of chlorine needed to kill algae in a pool depends on the severity of the algae bloom and the size of the pool. It is recommended to shock the pool with a higher dose of chlorine than usual, following the manufacturer's instructions on the product packaging. Additionally, consider using an algaecide in conjunction with the chlorine for more effective treatment.
To convert a Bacqucil pool to chlorine, begin by testing the water to ensure all Bacqucil products have been fully removed. Drain and refill the pool if necessary. Then, add chlorine products such as liquid chlorine or chlorine tablets to establish a chlorine-based sanitation system. Be sure to monitor chlorine levels regularly to maintain proper water balance.
Stop adding salt to the pool and use tablets and shock when needed.
go to the local market that you get chlorine at and pool shock. buy test strips that test the water's chlorine, and just add an extra chlorine tablet each time you add chlorine. if its still really low and not even close to the amount you may want to add pool shock
