    It doesnt work when you go for percentages below 5.

    Effects of adding issue

    Thanks for the reply. I see why the app defaults to a maximum. However, here in the UK liquid chlorine is sold at 14-15% Cheers.

    Effects of adding issue

    Hi, The effects of adding function isnt working. Changing the chlorine percentage doesnt change the results in “Estimated Effects”. For example, it says raise free chlorine by x ppm no matter what chlorine percentage. For example example, 1000ml of 12% chlorine will raise free chlorine by...

    Algae in the folds around base of intex pool.

    Cheers mate. It looked like living algae to me. Was bright/vivid green. I was surprised to see it because i have kept the FC at the top end or above that most of the time. Im assuming its because the water cant get to it it. I hadnt brushed in between the folds for about 3 weeks. I just assumed...

    Algae in the folds around base of intex pool.

    Hi, as per the title, i am getting some algae in the flaps at the base of my intex pool. This is despite keeping free chlorine well above the bottom end. I have tested nearly every day and out of all my tests free chlorine hasnt been below 7ppm since i opened. My recommended FC levels are...

    FAS DPD Chlorine

    Hi. I have a little combined chlorine confusion with the taylor fas dpd test. The issue im having is this. Example 14 drops for FC but then get an immediate pink reading as soon as i start adding the CC drops. Or 15 drops for FC and no colour change when adding all 5 CC drops. Which is correct?

    UK Chlorine Procurement

    I didnt actually check the list… you are right. I cannot see Sodium hypochlorite on it! When i attempt to order some from the supplier I have used before, I get a pop up telling me that this product 14%-15% sodium hypochlorite, as of 1st October 2023, the sale is controlled under the CEPPR...

    UK Chlorine Procurement

    Apparently a change in the law since October last year requires people to have an EPP licence in order to purchase high strength sodium hydrochlorite. Anyone in the UK on here have any further information? Cheers.

    Closing intex above ground pool

    Hi, yes it did come with those but i upgraded the hoses to 38mm and installed valves on all inlet and outlets. I had to cut holes in the liner to accommodate this and thus the “hats” that came with the pool wont fit anymore. Should i just drain to below these levels and removed the valves from...

    Closing intex above ground pool

    I am considering leaving the pool up this year over winter. I have read a number of threads and got a grasp of the situation from a chemistry point of view but some questions remain re freezing. I plan to drain the pool to below the lowest inlet/outlet. At each inlet and outlet I have shut off...

    "Effects of adding" bleach % below 6%

    I noticed after posting that there are similar posts. I now understand why the app is doing what it is doing. I guess this is a +1 for an update to the app.

    "Effects of adding" bleach % below 6%

    Hi, I noticed a bug in the "effects of adding" section on the pool math app. Here in the UK, thin bleach below 5% is readily available in supermarkets. However, when entering the % below 6%, the app doesnt scale below 6%. For example, if x amount of 6% bleach would up FC by 5ppm, if you lower...

    Persistent Dead Algae

    I just looked at the link you posted previously re: the Lamotte test kit. They are no longer available in the EU or the UK by the looks of it.
