We have a concrete sport pool with shallow ends at 3-4 feet and a deeper center at 5-1/2 feet. There is a return jet at 3 corners of the pool. The return jets are about 18" to 30" from the bottom. There is a Sheer Descent waterfall very close to the deep center.
Because the return jets are so close to the bottom I never add chemicals at the jets in fear of damaging the marcite finish. For muriatic acid I first dilute it in a bucket and pour/spread it into the deep center above the fully opened main drains. Then spread it around the main drains with a brush. Would it be safe to pour undiluted acid at the base of the waterfall splash when it's running? Or, is it still okay to pour it in a pencil size stream at the returns then brush? I would prefer to eliminate the dilution step.
When adding large amounts of liquid chlorine for a SLAM I first dilute it and then pour it into the deep center by the main drains. When just adding small adjustment levels of chlorine I add it at the base of the waterfall. So same question again, where best to add liquid chlorine?
When adding any chemicals I have the pool pump, bubblers, waterfall, and spa spillway on to really churn up the water.
Thanks.
