CCP 520 Pool Clamp Bolt or Nut Stripped - What now for Chlorine?

[Visa1976]

Tonight I cleaned my filters and attempted to tighten the filter body clamp on my Clean and Clear Filter housing, but the t-bolt and/or nut is stripped and will not tighten. After many attempts, I drove to Lowe's to try and find a temporary replacement nut at Lowe's but to no avail (they were completely out of one that might fit the clamp's t-bolt). I have ordered an aftermarket clamp on amazon, but now my worry is what do I do to keep my chlorine from dipping too low until the part arrives sometime Sunday. I have a SWG that usually keeps my chlorine at good levels. In the meantime, what is the best way to circulate liquid chlorine in my pool until I turn my pump back on (hopefully Sunday)?

Get a sump pump at lowes. Get one with a 12' cord (to keep away from pool).
Put it in a bucket (to protect pool surface), drop it in the pool, turn it on.
Pour liquid chlorine in, right on top of the roiling water from the sump. It will mix rapidly.
The buffering system in a pool is pretty good, chlorine will disburse just fine.
Remember, FC up to SLAM level is just fine for people, pool and equipment, so keeping your FC up should be fine.

Even if you don't have a sump, pour a bit of chlorine in, brush a bunch, pour a bit more, brush a bunch...Brush the pool and get water moving...it will be fine.

Thank you! How long/often should I run the sump pump? Should I add Chlorine once a day or more often?

eh, leave it on. The electricity cost is minimal.
Add chlorine to maintain your FC for your CYA. Once, or 3-4x per day likely doesn't matter. Again, any FC up to SLAM level is safe.

I'd raise to Slam level and just check a couple times a day, and keep it between in range for your CYA and SLAM level.

Thanks so very much!!
