Does chlorine in water affect its freezing point? (i.e. raise or lower from 32 degrees).

Cool...thanks for the advice. Here's a pic of the nameplate:

I came home the other day and noticed the pool pump was off. The pump is a 1 HP Centurion. I checked all the switches and electrical...everything was okay. I started to take apart to pump to check if the impeller was moveable, but when I touched the motor it was HOTTER than heck (hot enough that...

I noticed at Home Depot they are selling 1-gallon "Chlorinating Solution," which I looked at the label and it's 10% hypochlorite, for $4.72. Has anyone used this? I buy my bleach at Dollar General, which is $3 for a gallon of 8.25%. Dollar General is the best deal I've found (2.75% per $1...

Found a dead rabbit in my skimmer. Do I need to shock the pool? I don't know how long the rabbit was in the water, last time I checked the skimmer was 2 days ago. Rabbit wasn't big, just a baby.

Thanks for the suggestions. I just realized, however, that the small amount of water in the pool is still high in CYA (160 ppm), so I would still need to boost the FC that high to adjust for high stabilizer. While I'm adding water, the CYA will be decreasing along with the FC because of...

I am about to fill up my pool I drained 2/3 to get rid of high CYA…switching to BBB method. The small amount of water in the pool is green, and I am wondering if I should add a bunch of chlorine to the water now, while I'm filling it up? With the small volume of water, it would be easier to...

I wanted to know what type of pump damage to expect when the water level drops below the skimmer level? The reason I ask is that the other day a pipe broke and was leaking water all day long. I didn’t notice until I came home from work, and by then, the water level was just BARELY above the...

I'm not sure where you live, but I would recommend craigslist.com for finding a replacement pump. You'll often find people moving and looking to unload their pool pumps/equipment for cheap...sometimes even FREE.

Drain...because calcium hardness is too high. If you decided to shock...it would raise your calcium even higher.

What's the filter pressure reading?

I know for a fact that the DPD Reagent #2 will expire. I was using one without getting any test results, then bought a new #2 and results were in.

When draining, is it bad to use the water to irrigate lawn?

You could also shock with lithium hypo

For the past month I've noticed this brown film occurring in my chlorine floater. See the pic here: http://tinyurl.com/87rl5f3 The pool is clear, but there is a brownish dust that accumulates on the pool bottom. FC 5.4 CC 3.4 Ph 7.6 TA 110 CH 320 CYA 100 Any ideas as to what this is?
