dichlor

I’m aware of the dichlor/bleach method and would like to try it (especially since my CYA is currently at 50ppm and I don’t want to drain/refill at the moment) but my Caldera manual does not list sodium hypochlorite as an approved sanitizer and states that using sanitizers not approved by Watkins...

I am following the 11/14/2008 Nitro sticky How do I use Chlorine in my Spa (or pool)? Caveat ::: Does CYA dissipate from a water sample over a few hours in an (almost) enclosed container at room temp? I had the ≈ 4 oz water sample taken a few hours before, in a clear 8 oz squirt condiment...

I wanted to share a success story after purchasing a larch wood-fired hot tub and finally finding a way to maintain the water successfully! When I originally planned to buy the tub, I received a lot of advice warning me that wood hot tubs are notoriously difficult to maintain because wood is a...

We recently got a hot tub and was given the @ease system to use. I was given instructions on shocking with 1oz dichlor and 2oz MPS weekly. Well the @ease system wasn’t keeping up with heavy usage. My tub was turning slightly green in color (still very clear) and my CC was through the roof. So I...

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and pool caring. Have the pool for a couple months and was taking care of it with dichlor only. And it was crystal clear. But my pH was around 7 - 7.2 and last week I added sodium carbonate to raise the pH. The same night I shocked the pool. The next day the...

For the past year or so, I've done sanitation and shock in my 500 gallon tub with Bromine and MPS mixes. I've recently shifted from MPS to a dichlor-based shock. Since my shocks are typically no more frequent than weekly, should I have any concern of CYA buildup? I don't do any CYA testing...

5 days back I thought to test water from pool supplies store, so I went with water sample and came to know that CYA is 125 out of my 28000 gal pool. So person suggested me to drain 1ft of water, so I drained and refill 1.5 feet and then went back for testing. This time FC was low and CYA came...

The background: For reasons that have not yet been determined, the output of my SWG failed and the FC went to 0 sometime during the week. The obvious surprise consequence was a cloudy pool the following weekend, so I hit the turbo boost on the cell and tossed in about a pound of dichlor that's...
