Hello,
New to TFP. Been reading a number of threads (older) that there are advantages to using Liquid Chlorine as a sanitizer vs trichlor sticks or dichlor tabs which play havoc to CYA. Every year my CYA increases significantly around mid July and its a challenge til end of swimming season. I have been using Ultima Total Control which has Dichlor in it so I suppose I am double whamming the CYA problem.
I would like to try something different this year ...
I know the disadvantage of liquid chlorine is the INconvenience of the gallon containers. I do have a solar cover which I use daily here in Wisconsin (gotta keep that heat in as long as possible here in the north) so I am curious if .5 gallon of liquid chlorine every couple days would be sufficient? Also .... when I need to shock the pool because the Combined is high ..... what do I use then to shock the pool ? Just more gallons (4) of liquid shock?
