I pure one galón muriatic acid every week for 20000 galón water after 2hrs I check still low do I need to add more please respond thank you 🙏

[@SwimUniversity]

Muriatic acid reduces pH, so that's why it's low

We’ve been swimming an hr or less after adding shock for years 😬😬

[@ripleyjustice6057]

Oh wow

[@SwimUniversity]

Oh yikes! The chlorine is probably really, really high. But if it's non-chlorine shock, that's okay.

[@LatinMaximus]

Most public pools shock the crap out of the pool the morning before guests arrive.

[@mayorb3366]

I absolutely have to believe that hundreds of times a day, across the country, that soccer mom gets home with the kids and everyone jumps in within minutes after the pool guy has just shocked the pool. But I get it, it's a "least common denominator" thing. (Pool tech in the biz since 1995).

You're welcome 😊

Just poured 10 gallons of liquid chlorine in to a 30000 gallon pool because of algae should I worry about anything

Retest your levels after it's sat overnight

[@manoahvanderwolf3259]

most important question not answered : HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR FLOCULANT TO HAVE DONE IT:S WORK

[@SwimUniversity]

It's on the bottle of flocculant. Usually the water needs to sit undisturbed overnight or up to 24 hours.

[@manoahvanderwolf3259]

@@SwimUniversity thanks, that actually helps.

[@flickboogers9325]

Always wear a mask and eye goggles and extra long gloves when adding muriatic acid

[@jgeyer66]

And take a big breath and hold it before until you start adding and get about ten feet away before taking a new breath. Or wear a respirator. I learned the hard way.

[@SwimUniversity]

100%. We have a whole video just on adding it safely because it's so intense: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaK6p39od8inn8k

@@SwimUniversity Thanks very helpful video I just commented on it

How to shock a pool and tell the guest to wait 8 hrs?

[@SwimUniversity]

The chlorine is probably really, really high and not safe or comfortable for swimmers. But if you use non-chlorine shock, you only need to wait 20 minutes.

[@jonathandeuire6962]

Shock at night. Or during the week. We do ours Thursday nights

[@BlakeDumas]

@@jonathandeuire6962 I service STR and don’t have the opportunity to shock at night. I’ve always been told to wait an hour after shocking. Now I’m concerned for the guest.
