Hi again,
I've finally eliminated the trichlore tabs and am now on liquid chlorine totally now. I was thinking about how the chlorine works and what makes it go away so I have a few questions.
How does sun make chlorine go away?
I live in the Phoenix area and my pool get sun literally 16 hours a day during the summer. Does the sun break down chlorine at a steady rate or does temperature and intensity factor into the equation? For example, sunrise was around 5:30 am to roughly 8:00 pm and it got up to 111 today. I can't imagine living here without a pool and having to go a week or more waiting for an algae bloom to go away would SUCK. With temps like that does it break down chlorine more than someplace with less severe temps?
Just curious.....
