From experience, do not mix chlorine types. Mix one, put it in the pool and go to the next. Mixed shock and another type and caused a huge explosion. Won’t make that mistake again.

Oh yikes! Yeah, never mix two chemicals together

I use 1 chlorine tab in my skimmer per week, sometimes every 6 days. My levels are always perfect and no issues whatsoever. Why do you use 2 to 3? I have a 10,000 gallon pool too btw

Once you use a measuring cup for granules once washed is it safe for other home uses or is it now toxic for food?

I’d buy a cheap dollar tree one designated for pool use :) to be on the safe side!

For automatic chlorinator, inline or offline better? Pentair rainbow or Hayward CL? thanks!

Honestly, whichever one you can install! And both of those brands are good.

What is pool stabilizer? Do you use is w a salt pool? My chlorine is not staying in my salt pool? Do I need a stabilizer?
@ajisup2 ай бұрын
Stabilizer is basically cyanuric acid. When added to your pool water, it acts as a sunblock for your chlorine. It slows down the rate at which the chlorine will dissipate from the sun. But if you add too much stabilizer, it will slow down the chlorine too much and prevent it from doing its job.

Hi. I tested my water using the kit with the two liquids one red and one yellow. The yellow I believe says OTO. Anyway, the red one is for PH and it tests perfectly fine BUT the yellow (OTO) for CL test is way of the scale. The color after 5 drops is like a wine RED. I stopped adding chlorine more than two weeks ago and it is still red. The pool water is clear and not cloudy.

It might be worth grabbing a cheap package of test strips to see what they say about your chlorine

Go with a salt water chlorine generator and you never have to add chlorine again.However you might have to add muiratic acid

So worth it just for the fact that you never have to buy chlorine again!

Can I add a bag of weekly shock directly into the skimmer if I don’t have a chlorinator?
@ManiacalMaster2 ай бұрын
Add around the perimeter. Chlorine and shock is the same thing

So..., if your pump is running 24/7, adding tables to your skimmer ISN'T that bad? Asking for a friend.
@SwimUniversity5 ай бұрын
The biggest risk is definitely when pumps turn off. But they can also dissolve faster in the skimmer, which isn't great, and the gas can erode the skimmer lid.
@3vie56795 ай бұрын
Then, don't do that, then?
@LFTRnow3 ай бұрын
The tablets sitting in contact with the skimmer basket (which is often plastic) will damage it over time. You could have a catastrophic failure of the basket which means bits of plastic in your intake pipes.
