Do you guys up the chlorine in your pool before you have a party? I'm going to have 20 teenagers in my pool tomorrow for a bday party. Just wondering. Thanks.
Pool party
- Thread starter jrh1010
- Start date
I have added a bit more before and then usually a bit more after the party.........and good luck with that many teens......lol
jrh1010:
I test the water about a half-hour before the party and dose FC to the high end of the target range for my CYA level. In fact, I err on the side of having it be a point or so above that as opposed to having it any lower. I've done this for every pool party and it's worked well. No one ever said a word about their being "too much chlorine". In fact, several people commented that the water had a good feel to it and was not irritating to their skin or eyes (although pH plays a role in that as well). Many thought it was a salt pool.
Don't be surprised if the water loses some of its sharpness after the party, though. That's normal after a high bather load even with adequate chlorine. Just give it extra filtering time and top off the chlorine to the top of the target after the party and all will be well.

I normally keep my pool at ~4 cl, for my sons birthday party I bumped it up to 8 that morning, pool didn't even cloud up
I had 12-15 peeps in the pool at any given time during the entire day.
