    Offline chlorine feeder for liquid

    Hi folks, so ive been using liquid chlorine 12.5% for maintenance and my pool on a regular summer day consumer about 0.75gal. I also have an offline chlorinator back from the tab days set almost at zero. Can I use this feeder to fill up with my liquid chlorine instead. I understand it doesn’t...

    How do you add liquid chlorine?

    so I understand the reasoning for not pouring in skimmed basket but not clear on slowly pouring/floating the jug in front of return jets. Why would it be bad to walk around the pool and unload a jug standing up with majority of it going in to deep end. Would this not get mixed evenly? Or is...

    High FC for over a week and some CC

    Thank you Jen for the links and insight. I will add stats to my signature soon after I figure out how to. If one thing I haven’t done so far is the OCLT. Yes it appears I do need to maintain FC at 8 given my cya level. Should I turn off CL feeder totally and move to bleach for maintenance at...
