    United Chemical Pink Treat masking chlorine levels?

    I had the same issue this year. I found out to late it's a bromine product. I never got a response from united chemical on this. I wound up draining 80% of my pool water. Bleached the sides of the pool to get rid of pink. Refilled and was finally able to get chlorine reading, but needed...

    Taylor k2006 readings

    Ok, as I see from another post my cya is most likely lower then 70 because it wasn't completely gone, just barely visible when I took reading.

    Oh boy, looks like I'm draining again. So mad at myself. Thank you for your help.

    What would 5ppm of chlorine be for 16000 gallons? How much shock in the form of pound would that be. NMP states I could do that.

    I have a chlorine pool and realize made a big mistake by using a product called no more problems which is sodium bromide.

    I added the liquid no more pools product in 9 ounces each stretched out over a 4 week period. Could it possibly burn off if I take my chlorine tabs out of my skimmers in this ungodly hot sunny weather?

    I have a chlorine pool and realize made a big mistake by using a product called no more problems which is sodium bromide.

    What if I've only added 27 ounces to the 16000 gallon pool. Can I partially drain?

    3" Sustain chlorine pucks. To use or not use.

    Problem is I can't find anything in the stores around me. Everyone is sold out of liquid chlorine, bleach, borax etc. So I'm left to use pool store products at the moment. I get slightly different readings between my test kits. Taylor complete k-2005 and k-1004

    3" Sustain chlorine pucks. To use or not use.

    If I were to use pucks in skimmers, is there a brand better then others? I was looking at the In The Swim tablets due to cost. But I am unsure whether this is a good idea or not. With the Covid stuff going on currently its been difficult finding bleach.

    3" Sustain chlorine pucks. To use or not use.

    I have been using Sustain 3" chlorine pucks sine last year and Smack It for shock. I am having trouble with my chlorine level staying up. Last year the only way I got it up was to start using a lot of bleach. By following your method, do I use anything in my skimmers? Or do I just use bleach...

    3" Sustain chlorine pucks. To use or not use.

    I have seen a new product called pool moisturizer. Is this safe to add to the pool to lessen the drying effects of chlorine?

    3" Sustain chlorine pucks. To use or not use.

    So if I follow your method, do I put anything in my skimmers? Or am I to use just a weekly dose of bleach? I have an inground plaster pool in Maryland. I am having trouble getting my chlorine levels to stay up. I run my de filter 10 hours during the day mostly.
