All,
What is the safest method of adding bleach to a liner pool to maximize the life of the liner? I have seen different posts, some say to go around the parimeter, some say to pour it over the returns and then sweep...
What about this idea...
With the pump running, adjust the valves to shut out the drain and all skimmers but one, so that one skimmer gets max power. Pour the bleach directly and slowly into the skimmer at a rate of 1 gallon per min or 64oz in 30 seconds. Allow the pool to circulate only pulling from that skimmer for 5 min. After 5 min turn the other skimmers and drains back on. (BTW, I have 3 skimmers, 2 drains with the pool and hot tub).
I would think this would mix with the water best shooting it directly out of the returns. Is there any concern with doing this, could this damage the skimmer or PVC pipes being such a high concentration?
This post is because I read an article on taking care of liners and I know the previous home owner violated that article and so did I until strarting to learn how to take care of the pool from this site.
Thanks all...
